Don’t be duped by the pale blue … some would say ‘sky blue’… paint-job. She’s an absolute beauty.
The basket might also have a feminine look about it, but I can tell you it’s so I can carry me heavy-duty tools. And the speed … you gotta see how quick she is. She goes from 0-100 metres an hour in less than 10 secs.
Couple of mates heard some guys talking about seeing some lightning the other night … I reckon they saw me fly by and was confused, coz I've been carving up the streets of West Africa.
Still got some tinkering to do. When I’m done it’ll be fully sick.

Nice ride.
Although some spokey-dokes and a splash of red paint would make it go that little bit faster.

Don't listen to what anyone else says, Jon. I think your bike looks really macho and super cool.
Thanks for the support. The other interesting thing is that it has really narrow, soft tyres that constantly get punctured because of the rocky terrain.
I considered paying about $20 to get good, sturdy tyres, but I thought the alternative was more attractive. For 7 cents, someone pumps them up for me (lasts about 4 days)...or for about 70 cents, I can get someone to temporarily fix the puncture (lasts about 2 weeks).
According to my math, it's cheaper to keep getting them pumped up...as we are only here for a year.
