That looks sweet, and for 2 grand, that was a pretty good deal. Welcome to the forum.

the pic isnt that great, it was from my cell phone. The bikes a bit dusty right now, rims arent polished but it will be shining soon! The paint was obviously custom, it has blue metal flake in it too which looks really good. i go to get my permit on monday so i can start riding. Just got my helmet today and i feel like a little kid in a candy shop...haha. ill get some more pics when its cleaned. thanks for the compliments guys

You stated a interesting comment, you getting your permit on Monday? But, I don''t know where you live, but you can''t ride with a permit all alone. You need to ride with (along) somebody that has a valid motorcycle license, God forbid if you get stop, they will impound your bike. Because you not a license rider yet, to be on the safe side, if you can''t find anybody to ride along with, leave it parked at your house instead of the impound.

I know I know, a kid in the candy shop, but candy is cheaper than the impoundment fees and the lost of your permit for 6 months and the ticket. Also, I live in PA and you can''t get insurance with a permit.

Just my expericence (2 cents)
