The bike is not black.  It's more like a burgundy or black cherry or something like that.

Wow!  That wing must be loud, with only those short pipes and no mufflers.  To each their own I guess.

Yep, it's LOUD all right!  That pic is from the day I picked 'er up.  I'm looking onto other exhaust options as part of the winter rebuild.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

I figured it was some thing like that. So I figured I may help clear things up.

I think I just found some info on this bike and the owner.

Scroll down on this page and there is an article about it. By the way, I still give it two thumbs up!
