Looks good. I love green. Get ready for the comments like "I had a blue one BITD. Didnt see many green ones!"

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

thank you for the complements

it seems the popular opinion that I have done a good job with her.

she draws onlookers so far everywhere Ive gone with her.

now to find a green girl to put on my green scoot.

something tells me my bike is going to be more reliable.

Having Jade out on the town brings onlookers to her side.

I have to say I'm enjoying my time with her.

Original style paint jobs in different shades always stand out.  Good job, it looks great.

well its been a long while since ive posted...

My baby was running good back in 09 but

as my luck would have it shes been off the road for the last year.

We were out on a ride it was a beautiful day. there were 4 of us in staggered formation rolling up hwy 11 in SC. when a Vette decided to come to a hault 3 cars up infront of us. we all scrambeled to come to a stop but my rear tire locked up and i fishtailed. I went off the road and went down in a gully. i wasnt hurt but Jade was.
the tank got dented by the right signal light, the headlight bucket mount was torn where the signal light mounts and the right engine cover was destroyed. the engine case screw mount for the timing cover is cracked and the front fender was bent.
I have not been out again since that day, and Jade is now in pieces.
no money to repair her. "no job" no parts to fix her "used up my favors" and without a working bike my shed holds parts to complete my project bike but I cant finish without the other issues looming over my head.

sucks to be me right now.

I pray everyone else is having a good ride out there...

god knows i can use a break

I'm gonna have to part out my other project bike just so i can pay for repairs to Jade.

But first I have to give back to a friend anything he may want off of it before i make dollar one.
