RED BIKES still RULE
« on: August 27, 2013, 10:23:34 AM »
Saturday We took a breakin ride over to a 12PM - 3PM dealer event.

The band stopped at 1:45  :nixweiss:
The pulled pork was gone by 2:00  :nixweiss:

Anyway, of all the bikes that were there, including a number of CVO's, I would have to say the best looking bike was a red CVO EG  :cherry:

Nicest compliment I got was from the pin striper who remembered adding some striping to the tourpak spoiler years ago. Commented on how good it still looked.

When I had the new fender painted it was a bit of a paint scheme change. The mark up of the flames that I approved is not what I got!

nice Porthole.  But where are the rock pocks?  I know you ride that baby & since it's not a trailer queen, how do you keep that leading edge so pristine?  :-\ spyder

That is a new fender, only has about 3K on it.

But, if you look at the picture under "what I got" you can see a nice rock pock on the right cowbell

Yeah yeah yeah Greg - I thought back when you originally put that up looking for some saving grace for buying a yellow bike   :nixweiss: that it was disproved  :huepfenjump3:

Red is the fastest. Why do you think they paint fire trucks red - to make them faster!

SPEWED MY PEPSI!  That was a good one! Everyone knows YELLOW bikes not
only look better but are faster and smoother riding than any other color.

Gentlemen, thank you one and all for some great laughs today. Duane, as I said initially, the bike looks great.   :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks Greg. Spend enough time detailing and an old girl can look good again.
