The story

Of all the 50+ bikes Ive owned none get the attention this one does. My only regrets was not keeping the color scheme stock. I let my painter friend talk me into the magenta and pearls it is. He taught me how to paint and gave me all the paint so I cant really say much.... Someday Ill repaint it...

It still gets peoples attention just from its sound, then they realize what they are looking at and so many say I had one of those when I was in collage!!!

I ride it 2 times a year, for the Toys for Tots Christmas Parade and the Saint Patricks Day Parade through Waikiki! Great Fun!! — K. Lolo
