New Custom Colors!

More cool stuff today, my good CSC buddies…John brought in some of his latest custom paint jobs.   These are factory-available paint schemes that will really spice up your bike.   All I can say is…wow!

John started these jewels as bare tanks and fenders, and he worked up orange-and-black, yellow-and-black, and red-and-black combinations.   They are are all show stoppers.    Take a look at these!

And here’s a shot of Sandy with a bike John did a week ago…a black bike with copper panels (yes, the California Scooter guys actually let me hang around and take these kinds of photos!). 

I’m still suffering from the same disease…every time I see one of these (I’m talking about the bikes, guys) I fall in love all over again.  I love my red Classic (it’s an elegant little show stopper), but if I had a spare $1495 in my pocket and I was buying another California Scooter, you can bet I’d go with one of these John Esposito custom paint jobs.  He does the tanks and the fenders as a set, and they’re perfect.  I think I like the black-and-red combo best, but it’s a tough call.  They’re all beautiful. 

Working with John is a lot of fun.  He’s an incredibly bright guy, a gifted artist, and a mechanical genius.  We’ve got a few tricks in development right now, and John’s ability to come up with creative engineering solutions is awesome.   He’s one of the best, but come to think of it, so is everyone else here in the California Scooter Company.  It’s fun watching these guys develop ideas…and it’s one of many great things about this motorcycle company.  It sure is fun.

I’m going to put some miles on my California Scooter this weekend…I might head up to Big Bear.  We’ve got a lot of good things cooking…one that is particularly exciting is the 150cc scooter land speed record we’re going for in November.   That’s going to be a hoot!  When these little guys are broken in (like mine is), you can see something north of 70 mph on them.   We’re going to be working closely with Dr. Horsepower (our super-secret engine souper-upper), and I’m wondering what kind of top end we’ll see from our 150cc dry lake burner.   It’s gonna be fun!
