I had a Yamaha 650 back around 1983 (it was a 1976). Great motorcycle by the
way, but I digress. I painted it "Yellow Gear" yellow, same color the Navy
paints the support gear on Aircraft Carriers. Right after I painted her, I
took 3 tickets within 4 months for speeding, loud pipes (stuffed them with
steel wool to get by the ticket) and speeding again. I painted her black.

coming from a Braves game today, lost in downtown Atlanta, we turned a
corner in the Focus and saw a truck EXACTLY like the one in Sanford &
Son. The driver looked like "Grady", and it was near Grady Hospital.
The bike he was hauling looked like a sh*tty 70's Goldwing worth about
$20 (it was HUGE!), and all I could glimpse was no seat or handlebars,
and it said "Yoshimura" on it...I thought that was a supplier company?
No pic, because I won't take my digital camera in the rain...ohgeeez it
was ugly!
Those bikes you see in Viet Nam tapes w/huge fenders were so ugly
(Dream 305's?)...
if anyone's seen Orange County Choppers, they make some VERY ugly
machines...but Paul sr. has a good attitude...
those huge Honda Vespa-like scooters you see on the back of big
reirees' RV's are pretty retARDED, but I hear they're good machines...
powder blue is a gross color for a gastank, and most trikes with bodies
are pukey...
and BMW made some gawdawful gastanks...

 

My neighbor bought a Vespa a couple of weeks ago, right after my father
got his Yamaha Majesty 400. The guy even bought a chain that has to
weigh more than the bike to lock it up.

Speaking of the Majesty, my father mentioned he had it up to 88mph to
pass a car on the highway yesterday with plenty of power to spare. I'd
try it out, but I feel like a monkey fucking a football just sitting on it.

 

i was, uh, blinded by a big bright full moon ?

Perhaps you think they're not supposed to look ugly ?

My white (well actually, white streaked with grease,
dirt, mud, rust and bird droppings) '88 R100GS has been
rode hard and put away wet for 120,000 miles and it's
just starting to look good.

It's what folks in the antique biz call the "distressed"
look.

Ah, so what you are saying is that I'm increasing
the value of my motorcycle...

 

I seem to recall a "where can I buy a ratbike ?"
thread on reeky a while ago.

Truly ugly bikes, for when OCC just isn't ugly enough.

 

I can't get passed the ugly engines sticking out each side of the bike frame

To a guy who wrenches bikes, those engines sticking out of each side of
the frame are beautiful. It means we don't have to disassemble half the
bike to do routine maintenance.

I like the way the engine looks, too.

<grin>   I kinda like that yellow color on a motorcycle.. Been riding
this green Vulcan for more than 8 1/2 years and thinking about doing a
complete paint job on it.. Yellow is one of the colors I'm considering..
There is also a dark purple that almost looks black.. That's purty,
too..
After seeing the Superfly's motorcycle in Austin, I'm almost convinced
that yellow would be the best choice.. hmmmm... You don't suppose miz
Honey would make fun of my bright yellow motorcycle, now do you ?
Regards to the fine lady..

‘‘Actually miz Honey, pretty much likes that Yeller Goldwing that we
see here, around town.’’ heehee!
I like yellow on Harleys, and on some crotch rockets, around here.
I just don;t particularly like a big ole Goldwing painted canary yellow.
It almost looks like a Volswagen. That's just too much yellow too me.

My first Goldwing, a 76 model, was Candy Apple Red. It was plain.
Nothing on it. I, later put a regular shield on it, and a sissy bar, no
bags, no other means of packing stuff. And rode it for
9 days, packed with stuff tied on,including sleeping bag, tent, and did
my first Colorado Trip.

My point for mentioning this, is there's folks that don't like a Candy
apple Red GoldWing, I bet. (bjay)

 

uhm...
