They do say that opposites attract. And you do LOVE your bikes.
Not that there is anything wrong with that. I support you in your choices.

Good Gawd, I hope not. I mean, not that there is anything wrong with that.
Dammit if that's true I have some issues over here. I mean I have more issues than y'all already knew about.

Pretty much every one of your RR's or the RR of someone who rides with you, has an entire section to Redfish spending time cleaning the bikes periodically during the trip...

jwilly for the win! I painted the side visors to match the bike. But Pterodactyl is also correct, I removed the side reflectors as well.
Here's a better look:
I'm seriously in love with this bike. If you know your Dolly Parton lyrics then you understand why Jolene is the perfect name for her!

Sorry to remind you, but I saw you wad that thing up. And unless the insurance company still says you own it, you don’t have a bike.
However, I did forget for a second this being Easter weekend, maybe you are waiting for your 13 to be resurrected! I certainly hope you can “Roll away the stone and be set free .......with a new bike!
lol. Hoping for the best Mark!
Hijack over.
The monochromatic look you are moving to looks great. It reminds me of my 04 (the best looking year of all time).

That does look great, and even the fact that it's clean. I guess i have some gay tendencies, not nearly as many as Redfish or Cav though...

Which makes your offer even that much crazier!
But no...I understand the sentiment and would not have you part with that bike. It's yours.

I would've liked to color matched the side covers and front fender when I had a 2013. I was never a fan of how they appeared sparklely purple when wet. Of course it didn't matter any more after the evil Yamaha marketing department come out with the ES suspension and fire truck red paint the following year. When I seen the 2014 I had to trade up for the most expensive red paint I've ever placed eyes on.

The colour-matched adjustable panels is an improvement! The 13's were the only year to have the black stripe on the side panels, which goes well with the dark fender I think. The red lipstick pink ones could use red adjustable panels, and maybe red side panels with the '13 stripe.

Very nice Viper! Me like a lot. However it is way too clean. It probably needs some pine sap from New England, some permafrost mud from Canada and some dust from California deserts
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene...
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair...
The opening picture is calendar material. Intentional or not, the picture composition is just about classic Golden Mean.
I look forward so seeing your piece of rolling beauty down the road.

Make no mistake, Jolene is not a garage queen.
