This looks like a fun thread ... enjoyed cars and bikes last weekend .... same day, track and turn - only the helmet changed ... got to hit the banking on the bikes ... 35+ mph exiting NASCAR T4 ... otherwise 9k rpm here and there

Derek, this is the color. just stripped it off and will have it repainted to silly pink. you will love it, I have had tarmac SL5, 6, and now 7 as well as venge, after 20 years of some of the best Italian frames... but for me at this time, I don't think anytime out there can touch the SL6 SL7

I started road cycling about 2 years ago and my first bike was a SL6 rim brake never had any problems with it still rides like new. I don’t know why but other brands I don’t get too excited over....just love how the Sworks logo looks on the frame. Don’t think I can pull off a pink bike but big props to you for sanding down a new bike to have it repainted...looking forward to see how it turns out. I may repaint my SL6 later if I decide to keep it

i had two sl6 ultra flight with we cyclewrks brakes. good stuff then moved to SL6 disc. are u friends with jensen911 or Howard Chen ...( yellow CGT in taiwan); both are on s works iirc. jensen911 is in milensteins. I moved from milenstein to roval. they are better and cheaper and literally indestructible.

enjoy the ride.

while waiting for sl7 I am on venge

satan’s car



good friend’s car

many got into the longhood craze bc it is chic, but the reality is that it is not about the fad but about the experience. here are two hot rods that are rashed up but well maintained. ... the chips and sand blasted fenders are perversely sexy....


why i like long hood

when I take friends in 991rs. we smile and talk

in 997 no smile just talk

996 silence

in long hood they are visibly nervous and looking for handles and straps to grab on. I think they are scared. hell im scared too

You forgot the cgt step.

“Scared ****less wondering if the back end will stick after “the bump” and wondering why he’s moving the wheel so much and the ground is wet “

Same for me, use to ride others. I remember you asked me what I rode several years ago, Tarmac S-Works and throw a leg over if you have the opportunity. ^ New 7 is simply amazing ^. Look forward to seeing the pink scheme and that Venge - nice!
