Default Latest pics of the purple bike

A lot of you seem to hate the color but it works for me. Anyway these are the latest pics after the repaint and a couple additions. Air wing guard rails with lights, Memphis Shades gradient windshield, zumo 660, Captain Itch Crotch Cooler, Brukus SeatSecure (also have the ShieldShackle, SaddlebagSecure, Pillion/bib fender security screw). Can't think of much else I want to add to this bike. Would like a fairing but hoping to one day be able to afford a Road Glide and I like riding without the shield in hot weather. So many times I have been caught in a rain storm and those drops can feel like nails going into your face so many is the time I have regretted taking the shield off...

Hate it? Not at all.

Not my thing, but it's great that you can express that kind of pride in your bike.

OK, I don't get it, what's to hate?! You got yourself a nice looking ride that looks like it's never seen a drop of rain or moment of dirt. And, you made it yours, so it's not going to get lost in the crowd. Some bikes are simply more polarizing than others. So what. Hell, I even have that going on with coworkers. Some of them like my red bike and don't care for the all-black one while others really dig the black one and think my red one doesn't stand apart as much. I like'em both. Stay happy with your scoot.
And when you're done polishing it, go for nice ride!

I know I personally gave you some crap about it but truthfully it's a great looking bike.

Put a few Returns between each pic. On I.E. 9 all the pictures are lined up horizontally instead of vertically.

Looks cool, man. I'm kinda biased though as you can see.

Is that Concord Purple? How well do you find that Memphis Shades purple matching your purple? Looks like a pretty good match to me.

I was afraid to mess with the Memphis purple out of concern for a bad mismatch.

Screw the naysayers. That's a very pretty bike.
