Title: Pics of My New Toy
Post by: murf425 on March 02, 2011, 09:43:06 AM
This is the windy bridge that I commute over every day.  Fortunately, it wasn't so bad yesterday (in the pic), since there wasn't a storm front headed our way:

Who says you can't carry anything on a sportbike?  :dunno_black:

(Weird; my last GS had that same dent in the exact same spot.  :confused:)

Once I got her home for the night:

The decals, which were faded and peeling, have all been removed in preparation of painting her.  Hopefully I'll be able to start that Sunday afternoon.  She'll be a badass burnt orange by the time all is said and done.

I once carried a GS500 engine home on the back of my touring bike. Kind of wish I took pictures now. :)

When you paint it orange, are you going to swap the seat or leave it blue?

I'm gonna be looking for a solid black seat.  Hopefully I can find one here to just trade.

(Or I might leave the upper, tank, and seat blue, slap on some Gators decals........  :woohoo:)

Eh...no...nevermind.  That's dumb.  :cookoo: (And they'd take my MSU fan card away from me.)

Put pics up once it is painted, I want to see how it comes out.
