Bill - We need to hit highway 9 when the I get my bike back and the weather is warmer. From all the bike stories you have told me, I dont know if I should be following you. LOL

I picked out the color and it will be a candy dark red/burgundy very similar to my truck. It should look darker at night and close in color to my truck during the day.

I guess if it doesnt look good, i will repaint it. LOL

Hiway 9 is where I practiced every day until I could do it blindfolded....I have seen more than one dead rider on this road BUT it is a cupcake ride compared to Alba road or Ice Cream Grade or a whole bunch of others that have so many switchbacks your toes will be tired from shifting. I on the other hand can leave it in second and run from 20-50mph with ease.
