The Blue Bully Lives!



I got a lot of help with this bike so let me give a big thanks in no particular order to The Guru, Jimmy Nolan, Woolly Bully Captain Chris Hernandez, Jeff Johnsen, The drunk Hoosier who put this rigid on ebay for $150 Buy It Now price, BENJI, Joe of Hells Satans, Louie @ Polini, Shawn, and Jesse Hotchkiss (for the fairing and pinstriping to come). Whooo That's a lotta help. I think I turned a screw or two myself somewhere in there, but mostly it was a lot of amazingness on the part of all these people.

Better pics and fairing and performance report to come. From very first few miles, I can honestly say this bike is faster than I thought it would be and I haven't even taken it up to full speed. Once it hits the powerband, I let off the throttle because I'm a bit worried about this kit. All the top fins are chopped on the head and Polini, not to mention it's my first Polini and I've heard the horror stories. Also, the Polini Blue thing is a coincidence.

  2. hey, who did you buy the pipe from? I am sitting here realizing i lent it to someone and never got it back. Hopefully you didn't pay for it.

  3. I paid for it yes. No mana from moped heaven. Talk to whomever you lent it to. It's mine now.
