And so I won THIS!!!!!!!!!!

Okay sure, I was the only Vintage bike there.  But who gives a flip!  I showed up late and I ran inside to see where I was supposed to register and ran back out within like 15 seconds and I had to wade through the hoards to get to my bike and park it!  From what I saw, my bike got as much or more attention as ANY other bike in the show.  People bombarded me with questions about "The Little Honda", as they called it.  Comments like "It's just so different", to "I'm kinda sick of seeing stuff that is made for nothing but a bike show, this has a few dings and stuff but that just adds to it.  It really has caracter."  And the ever poplular, "Man that's a cool bike."

Anyway, I'm on cloud 9.  Thought I'd share.

Looks alot better than before.Just goes to show what a paint scheme can bring to the plate. I have seen better looking seats (my opinion) and I also say the new paint is 200% better than the old. Other than the seat....I always thought the rest of the bike was sweet. This other bike you have up for BOTM....totally sweet!!!!! Keep up the kick-ass building and don't worry about the negative remarks so much.....everybody has their opinion.

Personally i liked the firsst paint job and didn't understand why people gave you flak.  But the new scheme is AMAZING  kudos to you!
