Finally has been nice this week, tmps in the 50 and 60's. So took the bike out to get some pics to post.

Cool color

Hi Merlot,
Very nice bike and what a fantastic backdrop !
I didn't bother getting the bike out today, even though it was a sweltering 30 F.

that silver is hot! awesome background too...

however...you should take pics with the sun at your back, so pics arent hazy, whitewahsed and lacking detail. go out to that same spot in the opposite time of day (morning/evening) that you did.

I'm not picky cause it's beautiful scenery. Thanks merlot, seeing the silver in person adds a different look to the bike. Sry Red M50's, they made a good choice going to silver.

Gave Pinhy, give Merlot a break. It was probably freezing out when he took those pix! Not everyone is as lucky as us to have palm trees and blue water as a background but I'll take Rocky Mtn roads over ours (summertime only)

QuacktheDuck · 11-24-2005, 10:14 PM

I think if I was buying now instead of last year I'd get silver over black, matches my truck! It does look cool

Very nice look and that's quite the familiar ridge in the background!

We need to go riding together some time soon. Grab Time4me2ride too if he's ever available.

Great looking ride, but I'm biased with the Silver!

With the winter months here, I don't believe the sun is ever behind you. I went and toook the pics around noon, about the best I could do after the pager for work stopped going off and I was able to drop the kid off at his moms. They still came out better than I thought they would.

A nice Silver ride and I loved Colorado when I was stationed at Ft. Carson, have a friend moving to Denver next month, so I'll be heading over that way in the summer to do some riding!

jkulysses · 11-25-2005, 06:39 PM

I bought blue cause it is the only one my wife liked and I just wanted a bike.

I liked the blue one a lot too though and would have picked it any way.

RampageRider, you'll have to let us CO guys know when you come and we all can get together for a ride.

S2Design · 11-25-2005, 08:44 PM

The Silver looks great!

WELL YA KNOW, they could have added it to the line up rather than replace Red with it...

.....oh well, I think the silver looks nice too

sundude · 11-26-2005, 07:46 PM

Hey you guys with Red M's. Don't feel bad just because they are not being offered for 2006. Look at it this way, they could be collector's items 20 years from now!

Pinhy · 11-26-2005, 07:50 PM

yeah i was going to say that....i would like to have a color that is rare.

liked my yellow cougar for that very reason...only offered one year.
