Default Classic Root Beer in the Sun
Sun was out today so I tried to get some pics that better show the 2011 Candy Root Beer. Not sure it is possible to capture in a pic the same effect that you see in person. But here is a try. Bike is still 100% stock but some goodies are on order. I went in planning to ride off on a vivid black but the root beer lured me impulsively.



a vivid black

I love those colors. I think they're kind of a 'sleeper'-like not many people have them, but a few years down the road somebody might pay you a little extra to get that cool, rare color.

My stepmom wanted to paint her e-glide pepsi blue but I convinced her to go with that candy root beer and she can't stop thanking me. Getting her hands on the color is another issue. We went through a lot but she is def happy that she didn't go with blue or red.

That is a beautiful color combination. Looked really hard at the ultra and limited in that color but couldn't afford a brand new bike. Gorgeous bike you got there!

I got to see it up close, however, it was in the showroom. That color combo is awesome. I think did good on the pics!
