Man that color pops!

It sure does! It almost leaps off the monitor. It must look awesome in person.

You know, Jay, you really should have had the painter customize it with rivets...

I am very jealous........I've told my wife I would keep my '10 for several years, UNLESS, Kawi came out with a green C14, at which time I will be the first in line.

I firmly believe that ZG will have one of the most unique and eye-catching bikes on the road. I wish I could see it in person. The ZX in green with the ghost flames is beautiful, but it doesn't have as much surface area as the 14, and I think that will be a huge difference.

Hey, I've got a great idea! Jay, why not take the bike on a sort of demo tour around the U.S.? We could all meet up with you as you pass through our respective states and ride a ways. That way you can get the mileage up on that beauty queen too!

So, Jay, what day do you anticipate the unveil?  Next week is kinda tight for me, but the following week??  I would consider a little road trip to see the Green Goblin in person :)

Forget that idea, he's no celebrity. He should just ship his bike from city to city for us to use and abuse it.

Install starts on Tuesday Chet, so hopefully should be done by Wednesday!  :)
 
The forecast is currently looking to be a soaker the entire second half of the week though...  :(

Is this the 'Try a green Connie for free' thread? How do I get on the list?

Man ain't that the truth. Jay, since most of us won't have the pleasure of an in person look at that paint consider posting a video walk around for us. I'd sure like to see it on a good sunny day.  :chugbeer:
