Yeah - the Guzzi lime green is very classy - not much of a fan of the "nuclear" colors of the Speed however |

Another factory paint that needs to be seen up close and personal in good sunlight to get the full mind-altering effect.... DAve (Brian, still waitin' on that pic of your new ride!)

Hey Dave, Brian popped the cherry on the Tiger sunday. He was showing off and put her down in a gravel parking lot. Nothing bad just a few scratches. Eric |

I think the Green is very cool. Might look nice to if you powder coated your wheels black..

took a few hours online to find the formula for that damn speed triple green (same as the tiger?). local dupont shops have no codes for bikes.. I might tweak it a little. I'm gonna do it in the next few months.. got the tail section, the finishing is CRAP, sanding scratches everywhere, little pits and whatnot.. typical glass work I'm sure. |

Wow, that orange sled looks VERY nice... I don't care about the color, just the curves and all, very well done to whoever... |

Yeah Eric I heard...sucks. My Dad was there (yellow Blast) and said it is a real nice looking Tiger. Shit happens. I fell in love with the green on a Speed Triple back around '00. May have been a '99 model. I could not get "praying mantis" out of my mind. But I dunno if the Tiger and Speed Triple are the same color. DAve |

As far as that goes: The green on a Honda (car) Del Sol is pretty cool too. I like all of those greens. If I were ever to repaint my bike it would be one of those colors of green. If you have the time, intrest and $$$, you might want to powder coat the engine (see orange bike above) and wheels. http://t595.net/mb/album/album.asp?album=1437&pg=1&img=9269

I'm not really a fan of the variations of green myself but I did see one of the Speed Triples in green the other day and it did look good... Kevin |

Theres an old bikers tail that says, green Harleys are bad luck. don't know if this would affect Buells as well, better not take any chances! |

I had an Amazon Green S3-T that I put 60,000 miles on. Where's the bad luck there? |

I mentioned that to somebody the other night Bob and they had no idea what I was talking about. When I grew up green motorcycles were unlucky, I think it trickled over from auto racing. I guess we're more advanced and less superstitious now. |

Just throwing in a little nostalgia, I'm not superstitious either, or maybe you green buell owners are proving buells ain't Harleys! |
