She's finally dressed up

Today, I finished putting her together almost to the final state. She's got her pinstrips, color-coordinated windshield, lowers and air intake.

Pls checkout my sig pic.

btw, I've been quietly observing the on-going discussion about the colors of the fastest bikes. I have kept quiet because I'm fairly new on the site and didn't want to upset any 900 lb gorillas.

However, being a rational individual, I also cannot let unfounded claims perpetuate misinformation. Please accept this as intended with pure humility.

The fastest bikes with best gas mileage and sweetest comfort are blue. I'm not sure how to explain it scientifically, but it has something to do with the complex quantum mechanics that keep the sky blue. Since earth is traveling through space at about 66K miles per hour and spinning at about 1k per hour, blue has to travel that fast just to keep up. Something like that.

I like the color of your scoot. I have been thinking about doing the same thing with my windshield but hadn't thought about the lowers...I may steal that idea.

Bob you owe me a new keyboard, or 5 dollars for gas and 14 dollars more for the new key board.

You see I was eatting sketii and sippin on a La Batts, which I should probably also charge you for.

I simply wanted to see what you did to the bike, but before I did the goolge adds at the top of this page are sayin' this mista'

MacMac, if I understand ad placements, they accumulate your tendencies and place the ads that they assume are most enticing to you. Just saying.

Since you were drinking a Labattes, which is from Canada, which has a lot of lumberjacks, you might want to watch a video of Monty Python's famous song, "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay." Just saying. ;)
