Are you planning to change the color ?

Oh well, perhaps you like the blue ^^

Very NICE! I was pondering a cruiser for a while then I changed my mind.. I'll be getting me a Kawasaki 250R 2010 later on this year if all goes well. Then I'll get a cruiser down the road. What perfect timing too spring is great for riding. Remember ATGAT and happy riding.

No. Girls prefer pink. Which is explained by that old riddle:
Why do baby girls wear pink booties and baby boys wear blue booties?

To keep their feet warm.

This is how I drive too:

Pretty impressive for your first day. 8-)

congratulations on your first bike!!
having a motorcycle is fun, is great, I own 5 right now, including 2 harleys
so well, that bike looks good, but needs some custom work to make it your own
add some custom mirrors, chop the fender, do something to it to make unique
and ride safe :)

no, in short finished college, then I was riding away from Buenos Aires in summer bliss for 3 months, I busted 2 ribs in a motocross crash around january, and then I returned last monday after a trip around small towns visiting old friends... so I was just checking the news in the Allegro world :)

again, that Rebel 250 would make a sweet bobber ride!

Geeze, I was wondering if you got bitten by another dog, then died...

To the OP: Except the color, I admit that I would be pleased to have a moto like your in my garage ^^

I don't have the license for more than 125 cm3, but heh, even with 'just' 125 cm3, it's enough for me to go in my mountains ^^

I plan to buy one soon. You're a lucky guy. (but you have strange color choice !)

;D

Harleys are too slow for real men.

My 1972 Honda CB350, I had to rewire everything and it needs some points and some TLC. But the engine only has ~14,000 miles on it. The headlights are obviously swapped in on this picture, I still have the real one.
