Man take that pink bike and OWN IT! Be the only man with Gonads to ride a pink bike! Only one tough S.O.B. would do something like that. I mean I won't do it, but if my bike was already pink. I would totally almost consider it. Maybe
That more a purple than pink! I can't spell the color they call it, but then I'm more of a primary color type guy. My bikes are blue and black, with a white, purple and red one thrown in.

Ok, this has got me thinking. Maybe when I do my repaint this spring I should go with a nice shade of pink. I could even go with a deeper shade of pink on the engine, if I can find pink in high temp .
Naw, I think I'll stick with my plan for chameleon, either red/blue or the red/green.

Hi Ray,
the wolf's photoshop paint job shows up to be mauve on my screen.
Shoulda done the bags to match though.

I went back and tried to do that but no matter what color I put in it comes out green...tried several colors..couldn't er done...best I could do for now
at least people would see me if i kept it pink!!! i just don't think i can do it. i am riding it now, but it just has to change. i am gonna take it out for a few tonight if there is time when i get home. and i'm still trying to remember to take pictures with the lights. it looks like i need a photobucket site. i'll work on that.

I did send you an email. If you can send some pics, I'll get them up in this thread for you today! From what I can tell in the avitar, it IS a nice paint scheme, just with one wrong color! As I had a color go wrong on my paint job, I know it does happen.

The first image! I can put up the 2.5 meg version for those who may want it!
Number two, and........
The last one I was able to capture!
The paint DOES look like a good job! so it should be easy to repaint the color YOU want now!!
I WOULD get a real helmet, though! I learned long ago you spend money on a helmet only if you have a brain you want to protect! Just my personal opinion, but hey, it's free, and worth every peny you paid for it!
