Tribute to Ethio

I was thinking and might just sell my 94 Camaro and use the money for it to completely re-vamp my blue ninja change it red and make it a complete remake of Ethio's bike in remembrance and dedication to him. And buy all new gear and vlog each trip and ride and each step of the process and dedicate it all to him in his remembrance in tribute. 07.22.1989 - 08.10.2012 Ride In Paradise Ethioknight! I'll miss you buddy!

That seems to be a lot but I'm sure it would be a very heartfelt and warming tribute.

Seems a bit much to do, but hell it's a '94 Camaro might as well sell it anyway.
Side note: No wonder Ethio was so cool, we share the same b-day separated by a few yrs :P

I'll need to know what all decals he had and such. I have a tinted windscreen like his and the solo seat as well as rear seat how'd he get his headlight assembly to look like two separate lights etc? Help much appreciated. Cheers!

his headlight had a splitter piece placed over it from sportisi motorsport. Their USA distributor is a member on here.

It looks like the distributor (@samw) hasn't posted in about a month.

Maybe a good and nice way to tribute Ethio is find a suitable picture of him and his bike and have it as the ninjette.org logo?

I think even better would be to recreate his iconic image at set it as your avatar

It will be very cool to see everyone pay respect to Ethio by doing this

Agreed with Jiggles. I also was wondering if there was someway I could rebuild his bike completely money isnt a factor either to me especially when a fellow rider goes... Guy was amazing beyond words. But definately gonna change my bike up but it'd be really cool if I could rebuild his bike completely ground up and swap what needs to be swapped and replaced and then hand it back. Today while riding I swore I seen him riding by my side.
