Just a word about how great the guys at Nill Griff are, I enquired last wednesday about ordering a pair of checkered P08 grips, got an email saying they would be coming back from the people who do the checkering in two weeks, so I ordered a pair in advance, speaking to a fellow expat Brit in mail order, and waited in patient expectation. To my surprise, there was a little box on my doorstep yesterday after work with my grips

Hopefully this means you guys over the pond should have yours soon!
