It’s now a “fire pepper” red color. It’s similar to the Toyota MR2 red color. It was a huge upgrade for the bike. Originally it was a bright, lime green, with two white side panels. The white panels are now black. (Still need to take pictures…)

In other news, i’ve purchased a helmet, jacket, and gloves. Here’s my photoshopped image of what it all should look like together:

It’s a 200CC single piston, United Motors, dual sport bike. It looks like a dirt bike, but has a real VIN and is street legal. We have to get it tagged and insured, but let the motorcycle learning begin!

My eventual goal this year is to own a Buell XB12X. A big plus to all of this is that Bonita is very interested in the possible trips and adventures we can take on the bike. We’re thinking our first trip is going to be the Natchez Trace. Taking pictures, visiting all of the stops, and camping along the way is our immediate plan.

Who’s down?
