LOL!  That's great!  She's currently looking for a sexy girlfriend on the pages here!  sexy bikes have to be lesbians so that they can fulfill more than one of our fantasies.  This has been discussed.

oh, hello there, gretta  :-*

LOL!  Funny you mention that Leon, here is a true story.

As I parked her on the sidewalk and waited for my wife to pull up with the paddock stand, people who were walking around started congregating around Gretta and taking pictures.  The employees from inside then started coming outside.  The security guards came up to me and said "Man, this thing belongs in there, not here!  That looks better than some of the bikes on display!"

They then proceeded to take pictures.  The museum curator (I assume) came outside and introduced herself and started chatting with me.  She asked my permission to take a professional picture of Gretta and add it and a bit of info to a "patron book" that they're working on.  I of course agreed!  It really made my day that the staff of such a world class museum loved Greta so much.  It was really cool!

Congrats man, congrats. You really deserve such a rockin bike - well done. Can't wait to see what you build for your wife!

And when I started reading this post, I was wondering if somebody was gonna question it being outside the museum!
I'm done. I'm beaten. I finally quit. I'm cleaning shop over the next couple weeks. So I'll be getting back to anybody / everybody what I owe.

Outstanding work Kiley!  I can't wait to see her in person and  I only hope that my bike will be 1/10th of what Gretta is!

BEAUTIFUL MAN! Ill say it a thousand times! This bike is what its all about to me. Garage built, high quality, home engineered, brilliance! I really hope all the young guys and gals out there who dream of someday owning and riding a beautiful bike, but think its unnatainable see Gretta. She is a perfect anti-hero to the worker bees and their modern ideals of copy cat, thoughtless, excessive and wasteful design. Bravo man. I hope all 5000+ members on here look opon Gretta, Beat the Clock, WhiteXKs mono 650, and so so many other bikes as not just "cool" or "interesting" but as the future of the rebellion. We dont need $30,000+ bikes, magazine spreads, the Discovery Channel,  or massive fab shops to create our future in motorcycling. Look at Erik Buell, John Britten, or even William Harley and Arthur Davidson for example. They all started in barns, sheds and garages just like us. They built, designed, and poured their souls into these machines and created their own roads into the hearts of the two-wheeled loving public. Kanticoy, and so many more on here, should be looked opon with reverence. Not only because of the machines they've unleashed opon the unsuspecting weekend warrior Starbucks crowd, but also because of their fueling of the flames of independence. They are leading us, wrenches and welders in hand to the front lines. If we keep our minds open they'll open doors we didnt even know were there. You hate the office job, or go nowhere gig your doing? Use the passion and knowledge these guys are freely handing out every day on here to turn that old lump in the garage into a new life. If you are happy where you are, still take what you see here and let it open your soul. These machines arent just a point A to point B transport. If you want that buy a Rebel250 or something like it and go. Nothing wrong with that, but its not (to me at least) what this place and these people are about! Build a physical manifestation of your soul and your passion! Ride hard, and fast. Be kind to all but never lose that little chip on your shoulder that says, "I built this, and it is me". Your all part of a cultural revolution. Embrace it!

Thank you Kanticoy for this rolling middle finger to the status quo!

And BTW, the supernaut says Grettas his, and he seems serious. Hes a bit of a scum-bag so I apologize if her heart gets broken!   :D
