Vernon's red Classic, ready to roll!
Red is a very cool color, and it just seems to fit the Christmas season. I think all of our California Scooters are fabulous, but red is unquestionably my favorite color, and when it was time for me to pick out my bike, I naturally went for a bright red Classic.
I’ve always liked red, and it probably didn’t hurt that the first California Scooter I ever saw (back in January of this year) was a red Classic. You might remember me writing about that when we first started this blog…my good friend Joseph Lee dropped by the house with a red Classic. I fell in love the first time I saw a California Scooter, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Out in the shop today, I saw Tony loading another red Classic on a pallet with chrome billet wheels. Wow, that bike is sharp! Tony told me it’s going to Vernon in Wimberly, Texas. We sure ship a lot of motorcycles to Texas, and this is one more that’s going to light up the Lone Star State! Red Classics and Texas seem to go together, judging by a review of our orders over the last year. Vernon, you’re going to have a lot of fun out there!
Norm's 1959 Corvette
So, why the red ‘Vette in the photo above? Well, our good buddy Norm bought a California Scooter this week, and that’s Norm’s car in the photo above. Norm’s a California boy, and his car sure is one sweet ride. It’s a drop dead gorgeous ’59 Vette. Norm’s done a lot of work on his Vette. It’s got a ’96 350 engine, and the car looks like it’s new. What caught my eye, though, was the color. Wow, this car looked good. In fact, I thought about the only way to make it look better would be to park a red Classic California Scooter right next to it…
Two red Classics
Norm’s picking up his bike later today. It’s not a red one; Norm had Tony build him a flat black Greaser with chrome wheels and several other chrome touches, and it looks nice. Norm plans to paint the bike himself (which is why he wanted one in flat black), and my guess is that it’s going to look a lot like that ’59 Vette before he’s done! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention…wire wheels are in! Yep, and they look good! We’ll post a photo or two in the near future, so stay tuned!
