I rode it to the tennis courts and back. Was a very nice 70 degree day. Perfect for a ride and some tennis!

Hmmmmm . . . it still might look out of place . . . but it might look RIGHT!

Having the cowling red and foot pegs black would work.

Still can't decide on red or black for the rear wheel.

If I only knew Photoshop . . . anyone want to try that?

i feel the same about the rear wheel... need to do something about it quick but not sure what to do... im thinkine of getting the rim powder coated black with red spokes.. saw a pic on a different thread and really liked it... am i allowed to post someone else's pic here???... if i can i can show you what i mean...

did some stoppie practice - sooo much fun yes i know it isn't very good but it was my first time trying

i disabled the ABS because it kept getting in the way and it doesn't let you do stoppies properly and it feels like crap at the lever when it activates

Black with red spokes would be GROOVY!

Oh. I guess that shows me as an aging hippie . . . .

I'd go with metallic blue for the rear rim, like the tank color, since there's not a lot of that to begin with.

Default Snow!

I rode to work! While I was working it started to snow, so the roads are slippery now.
