yes!!! thanks everyone :)

i'm still getting used to the bar end mirrors . . . they tend to end up pointing more down that i'd like with the bumps that i hit. i might leave them on and put some in the regular place as well . . .

Very cool looking! I dig the extra touches that make this BlackJack look even tuffer. :D
At what point does a hobby become an addiction? I'm uncertain, but after the twelfth scooter, it sorta feels like the latter...

Seriously...I've lost count...

Zaphod's attention however was elsewhere. His attention was riveted on the ship standing next to Hotblack Desiato's limo. His mouths hung open.

"That," he said, "that ... is really bad for the eyes ..."

Ford looked. He too stood astonished.

It was a ship of classic, simple design, like a flattened salmon, twenty yards long, very clean, very sleek. There was just one remarkable thing about it.

"It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect. "You can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!"

Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love.

The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

"Your eyes just slide off it ..." said Ford in wonder. It was an emotional moment. He bit his lip.

Bonus points to Jrsjr!

Good score, I really do love the Blackjack. Still hoping to find one or a used psycho here eventually.

That thing must wheelie like a sumbitch with that big bore, lighter rollers and stiffer clutch springs, etc!
And I'd love to hear 172 cc's pushing out the Prima pipe ! :twisted:

He's got a different prima pipe on there, very quiet. Still I love the blacked out chrome and the tinted "glass".
