I was just thinking that in 2004 and again in 2005 the Goodwood Green America was produced. It is pretty amazing that 11 years later the green ones are still the fastest.

I was just thinking that in 2007 the Blue and white America was produced. It is pretty amazing that nine years later the blue ones are still the fastest. Ron my friend,is it hot in Texas?I think the heat may have made you delusional, but never mind, I corrected your mistakes for you.

And just think, in 2016 one can go to the "classifieds" forum and still get a green one.

That is right Wade. But its kinda like a Mustang or a Shelby GT 350. They may look similar but one is way fast. Only certain folks can handle that extra speed.

In the past 12 months we had 119 new members register. 88 never posted, 18 posted less than 5 times. Yaknow why? They saw a green America and thought, oh no! I got the wrong color. They are out at high speed motorcycle school learning to ride fast then gonna shop green ones before they come back.

hmmm, never thought of that. Or, they could simply remove 3 parts and paint them. Next day it could slower, I mean, a different color.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I get nothing but complements on my baby. The extra speed is just a bonus.

Well, according to the latest post in the "classifieds" , the Green One has found a home.
Oh Gwendolyn,
thou hast bounded from me,
skipped beyond the green hills.
Thou hath coloured me soul
in hues only God hath seen.
And thy staccato bleating doth fade away,
Laughing over the rocky hill,
fading away into the resounding silence.
Selah.

Bleating eh, I have to wonder what you have been riding. Do rubber boots come into play here?

Well, when the Yak fur is scarce, we hafta improvise with most any fuzzy critters.
Yeah, that's the sound the thing makes, back off the throttle and she bleats. maybe I should put the main jets back in.
