    Red face Would you????

    Would you ride a bike that had a ‘Hot Pink’ paint job?

    I know that the Britten has pink in it’s paint job and that there was Triumph Speed Triple’s released in a lovely pink colour.

    But would you buy and ride one, knowing that you were not going to change the colour for a while/ if ever. If it was on sale for a hell of alot cheaper then the other "better" coloured bikes...

    Yeah I would - and when the colour really started getting me down, I would get down to BK's place and beg for help with a re-spray...

    Personally, No!

    But this is what a mate did to his perfectly good R1 in Canberra about 6 months before I left... and if you haven't figured it out already, the helmet is hiding MotoX bars. It's a stunt bike through and through. I've also attached his mates Fireblade which started out life as a fully worked Honda Australia Racing bike... it's got some real mumbo.

    Well I kinda already do. Has this got enough Pink on it? Having said that it’s currently being painted a grouse colour (will post when done). But it’s been this way since new & I’ve had it over 7 years.

    I have a mate,fellow club member, who raced an RD4OO and then a Ducati Panther,both in shocking pink,Nipple 1 & 2.
    He also had his road bike painted the same,he took a lot of shit but it didn't seem to bother him.
    I don't even know his real name,only ever known him as "Pink".

    Good point, Tony Mc (aka Hippy; who they virtually renamed Formula 3 Formula McMurdo) rode shocking pink bikes mixed with a nice Kawi lime green for taste reasons.

    Even his Indian or whatever it was, was so inflicted (to annoy purists I believe).

    If a bike is particually trick, an off-the-wall colour like Pink can be very becoming. Natalie Ambig.....Ambig.....Ambig. Bollocks! Bev from Neighbours rides a Pink Speed Triple. Very hot. I'd ride either!

    I don't give a rats about look's, as evidenced by the fact I havent traded my boot yet. but she'd have to be a bloody good buy or a stunner. Cos it would totally clash with my blue jacket and red helmet dahlinks!

    Well with a full face helmet on no one would know who you were anyway
