So is that an actual picture, or Photoshop? |

Just don't go near any fields with bulls in
Or put a blue light o and tell the cop that pulls you, your the acting fire chief.
Personaly I'd prefer a metalic red, and the vent on the sidecar I'd paint black to match the one on the side of the bike.
Heck each to his or her own that's why we are individuals, and don't follow the crowd.
3 wheels rather than 2, yeah

Not TOO red, but maybe too MUCH red.
But better looking than the gray or silver one at the top of the page. _________________ David D

OK, it's not Photoshop
I must say - it looks even better in real life. Excellent job, Bill!
There are nice Kawasaki logos that don't show up in the picture, but match the bike perfectly - with those, and with the matching paint, it looks like a from-the-factory accessory. You should park it beside the Kawasaki truck at Americade and see what happens! |

Beautiful!!
For a more satisfying experience: try RED!
If I fall behind at Maggie Valley, I will be looking for red.

Exactly what I was thinking too! Glad mine is black......

| For sure
I drove the red menace the other day and can confirm it has adequate performance. Smooth and ridiculously fast. What more could you ask for
I understand Bill has a matching helmet and jacket on the way
maybe he should have it painted like Valentino Rossi had his painted
thanks for that link Paul _________________ CBR1100XX/EZS
