My favourite color is red with little pink bows, but that only looks good on The Goose. :D

Paul.

I am through with riding pink bikes.

No on the pink - yes on the black.

Pink is so over-rated. I have never had so many men waving at me in cages before. Men with Magnum moustaches.

FIIIIIInallly I got to send the R850R in for the cosmetics, after getting rid of the OMB screen and fitting a bikini one, finally finding a throttle body to fit and dumping a gizzillion kilo's exhaust and putting a Tornado pipe.

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments, we are going with base white, orange tank inserts, white side panels, white and black panniers and white and black front mudguard

and

and

and

and

and

orange wheels

Now you just hope it all comes out as your mind's eye see's it. I am pooping

I should have said this sooner, but they're making vinyl wraps now that usually cost about 1/2-3/4 what it does for a paint job. The wraps look like paint but protect the actual paint and peel off with no damage. You should look into them for the next time you want a respray!
