My favorite color combo. Think how nice brown leather seats look in a red Ferrari...

Does a red bike with a Honey Brooks come close enough to brown?

Terrible late-night phone shot of my Jeunet with it's unknown-make brown leather saddle. Real nice combo.



Philips Brewing Hoperation in the bottle, in case you're wondering. Also real nice.

I'd go ahead and say it's a fine combination, brown preferably. I think the honey is a little too light.

How about my '74 Grand Prix with a very, very, very dark brown saddle?



Then again, it may be black, but at least the bike is red.

Well the bike is not exactly red and the seat is not exactly brown but here is my submission



as you can see the saddle is a Colt the bottle in the cage is "***** Bubbly" w/ a bottle cap, and the toast is being made with Martini something or other
