i certainly will. i'm still debating on paint. my go to for everything is satin black (i'm not very creative...) on this one though i thought i might do somethin' different... Rizzla replica? Kawa Racing Green? any ideas? Anybody? i have a friend that does vinyl wraps... the possibilities are endless...

I have a feeling this one is already seized up... probably gonna need a new top end. the PO filled it up with high octane gas and now it won't run is all he told me. but he said i could have it, so challenge accepted!

we park our motorcycles on the sidewalk here in georgia, or in the "zebra" areas of the parking lot. it's rural in my part of the world, though. don't know about downtown atlanta city folk.

Great pic! Been wondering about how to get bikes to the track without a trailer for many years, and hemming and hawing about a van. If it fits in the back of an Element, even better.

Ok fellas... we are stripped. fluids out. Apparently it was run without coolant, and the rear tire wont move when it's put in gear and you attempt to spin it. Looks like the top end is locked up, right?
The frame will be glossy black along with the lower fork legs and the wheels will be satin black.

Here's the bodywork.... a friend in Marietta is doing a full custom race design on it. Decided to make my band and his company the main sponsors, while all of the companys we endorse as secondary sponsors. Hello tax write off!!! plus i get to have it at every festival we play and ride it around.
it also means i can hire umbrella girls for our merch booth. gotta get this thing done by spring!!!

takin' apart the top end this weekend to see how bad the lock up is. i'm picturing an entirely new top end. minarelli m6 motor (same as aprilia rs50), so i'm thinkin' i'll get the oversized top end (70cc) for a little extra getup and go. thoughts?

Yes, and no luck. the tire just locks up. can't get it to grab enough. 1st gear, 2nd gear, neither of em worked. let off the clutch and slide to a stop.

It runs!!!! got back burnered for a minute, but she's up and runnin'. My friend Dean Middleton at Atlas Cycles in Marietta GA did some tinkering and got it to turn gasoline into noise. gotta get a starter from europe, though... bummer.
meanwhile, back home, the plastics are flat black and ready for a wrap. The band has decided we are gonna wrap it like a replica race bike, having the band as a main sponsor and our endorsements as sponsors. Hello, tax write off for oil, gas, and tires!!! Pics comin' soon. Should be reassembled and ready for the vinyl wrap next week!
