Swapping plastics (Colors)

**smokier** · 11-22-2018, 11:27 AM

Greetings,

Since the bride has a new ride, I am thinking that her 2012 CANDY LIME GREEN tins may have to make the move over to my 2015 Vaquero.

The CLG is a beautiful bike, it seems a waste to sell that color, while keeping a METALLIC CARBON GREY (Black) bike.

So this winter, will probably do the parts swap.

The good news is, when finished, there will not be another bike like her!

Will have to update the description of the 2012 Vaq in the FOR SALE section. It too will be an original!

P.S. So does that change the name of the bike? "RITA" = LIME-o-RITA and "Nadia" is a (in my mind) derivative of "Black". Given the 2015 will no longer be "black"...

Ride safe,
Smokier

Why not keep the green one and sell the grey one ?

The Green one is a 2012 with 44k, no ABS. The Black one is a 2015 with warranty remaining, ABS, and fewer miles. Plus, it might be fun.

I also like whacking my finger with a hammer, or spilling hot coffee on myself or swapping motorcycle parts

Ride safe,
Smokier
