zoooom!!

In a decidedly flawed attempt to cheer myself up, I'm very nearly convinced that this is the bike I've been looking for, and have decided to buy it.



There are many justifications to support this purchase, but the main one is that I miss riding. I used to really enjoy zipping around the streets, filling up once a week with $15 gas, being able to go anywhere and be sociable without having to worry about parking...
That it has low mileage and is offered for sale at a very good price is an incentive too. Though...



The pink handlebars will be the first thing to go!! You can tell a girl owned it first... They'll be anodised black before you know it. Or maybe polished. Hmmm....

PINK Handlebars!

[paulo38.livejournal.com]

I think you should keep them.
Be proud of your sexuality & flaunt it in this subtle way.

Really sets off the Black tank too!!


Yes it's a Nice Bike.
Go for it .

Heh heh.. and a turn off to licky wee cubs who forget that sometimes leathers arent just for show... Next time I turn up in SF I'll have a good smattering of bugs. On my leathers, I mean.

;-)

Wouldn't it be much easier...

to just leave the handlebars and add some hot pink grips? With sparkly tassles? Huh? Wouldn't it?

Mind if I borrow your sparkly tassels then? Or are you still working on getting them to rotate in opposite directions?

This baby looks like a fun friend for the road. I can see you buzzing about on it, savoring the wind, and the curves, and the adventures you find.
I'm glad you're going for it!!!

Happy Growler! Well, so far, I havent picked it up yet... *nervous*

Every once in a while you just need to say "What Not?" and go for it. Congrats on the purchase.

And keep the handlebars, you big ole girl, you!

Oh my god, buy it buy it buyitbuyitbuyitbuyit. It's like a wee Ducati Monster, but without the Ducati handicap. But lose the pink handlebars -- pink is very nice, but they look wrong on that bike.

There's a few things to do to it- the bars need to be polished rather than anodised, for sure. I'm thinking of bar-end mirrors too, but they can wait till I get silly and fit clip-ons. The orange tank stickers are just *wrong* and need to be replaced with silver or even dark grey.
The rear exhaust has surface rust where it catches tyre spray, and will be repainted.
The chain is a bit gunky, a clean will do it good, and the wheels are dusty. The entire engine could do with a good clean...
The plastic taillight bracket is busted where the left indicator should mount, so I'll plastic weld that.

lots of fun to be had while still keeping it original!

"You can tell a girl owned it first..."

And obviously so is the next owner... :P

hehehe, love you mean it.

I think you should keep the pink handlebars and paint the tank pink as well.

Then you can christen it "Rachel" or something.

No straight guy would do it, but you're GAY and everybody already knows.
