nooooooooo, i couldnt have her in black.... i like to stand out a bit and the green definetly does that. although i would have her back by now if she was going black. they have finally matched the paint and should have the green sprayed on this week, then next week will be the clear coats and accessory fitting etc. well in theory anyway....

Only joking. It will have been worth the wait!

madcow · 08-06-2009, 07:01 AM

oh yeah, it will be. the withdrawall syptoms are killing me though, i even took the kids mini bike for a spin tonight to get a fix but it just didnt scratch the itch.

Black is a much faster colour Jamie.

madcow · 08-07-2009, 04:59 AM

yeah i know but black is not green though, if i was to change the color it would be white with a pearl coat over the top.

eds · 08-08-2009, 04:01 AM

red and black looks nice too.

madcow · 08-08-2009, 04:53 AM

gee its nice to hear an unbiased opinion like that eds..... at least you are only trying to get me to half black.....

eds · 08-16-2009, 04:46 PM

whats going on with the paint job jamie ? we are all waiting to see her finished.

finky · 08-16-2009, 11:51 PM

Green is a very slow colour Eds it takes longer to get the paint on mate and even longer to dry,if he had of painted it Black it would be back on the road by now.

eds · 08-17-2009, 05:24 AM

i think the painter must must be out riding it .i had my car done quicker but then again its not green.looks like we will just have to wait glen.

madcow · 08-17-2009, 06:20 AM

still playing the waiting game guys, i called in last wednesday and she was still in primer. i now have the new crash bar etc ready and after over a month of waiting i am getting very trigger happy about my mistress coming home. i will call in again on wednesday to have another look, but im a bit apprehensive as im gunna be real ticked off if theres not a lot of progress done. i finally got to check out the new model nomad last saturday and i gotta say i was very impressed. i even liked the new bags, although they would not look as good in 2 tone. the black really suits it well.

eds · 08-17-2009, 04:49 PM

you might have to remind him that spring is coming soon and so is some good riding weather.

madcow · 08-19-2009, 07:46 AM

i went for a look see today and boy was i impressed. all the panels were painted and 1 coat of clear applied, he said he still had a bit of rubbing to do and at least one more coat of clearto go on. it looks better than factory already, and he still wants to go further... i might have it back for the weekend, but he said he will not rush it as he wants it to be right.

eds · 08-19-2009, 04:30 PM

finky · 08-20-2009, 01:03 AM
