    I go to pick up my new scoot today. My dealer has two bikes in stock and gave me a choice between yellow with black or grey and red with black or gray. I never thought I would be such a pussy when it comes to colors....I like them both. What a squid....

    This is a weightly subject requiring due consideration.

    Don't screw it up.

    Red & black goes with everthing. It's the new purple.

    What ever you do, don't get yellow.

    I like the Red with Grey. There is already enough black on the bike that they grey side pannels and seat look good on it.

    You meant that yellow will make his butt look FAT.

    I know - I have an '04 yellow GS, and my ass always looks 2 sizes bigger on that bike. :D

    I made them out of the 3M reflective tape, the kind that is black till the light hits them.

    Simple, I just played on PowerPoint with sizes till I got what I wanted, taped the paper to the sticker material, then cut them out.

    I think they look cool, and they really stand out at night.

    Yes! Red Rocks!

    You guys remind me of ice hockey goalies. You know ... the toughest position in the toughest game, yet we* insist that our equipment looks cool.



    * okay, I admit it. I'm a goalie.

    Once you go red and black... you never go back. Or something like that.

    PS: silver is close though. It's like a (very) pale, shiny black :puke1

    On the 12GS it's so cheap to change colors it really doesn't make any diffderence what you start with, just get and let your mother pick a color for you.
