Title: crazy how I miss it now...
Post by: makenzie71 on November 14, 2006, 09:43:36 PM
That crazy yellow frame:

I HATED it the second I put it on there...which irritated me because it was one of the BEST paintjobs I ever did...but I completely tore the bike back down and stripped it off and gave her a black frame.  I hate the black now like I hated the yellow then.  I think red, black, and yellow would be ugly enough to suit me hahahahaha

Of course if I put that yellow paint back on it THEN I'll remember why exactly I hated it and will miss the black...vicious cycle...

It'd suit it with those drop pipes you've got on it

Yeah, not digging that yellow at all.  Its way too bright of a yellow, too. 

Is that a Duc rear wheel?

nah the exhaust will have a can on it...so not so vicious except when I want to run around without the can...hahaha...

Yup...stock brembo duc wheel...got bored one day and cut the right spar off my swingarm and bolted the duc wheel up.  It's a little unstable when moving but it sure is a duc wheel.

(marchesini "brembo" look-alike mag on it now...)

Haha.. seriously though.. is that what you did? Or did I misunderstand when you said you cut one spar off and stuck a brembo on there?

What I did is entirely up for debate, but that's what I said.

Of course I'm only not telling you what I did maybe do because of the complete lack of effort one would need to invest in finding out what really didn't happen.
