History
It started out as a red Wee that I found on CL for a steal. When I went to check it out, the price made sense... it was red on one side, pink on the other (sun fade), it was stuffed way in the back of a garage and was covered in spiderwebs and dust. It only had 17,000 miles on it and once we got it out and put a battery in, it fired right up. I rode it for around 10 minutes, but I knew within 10 seconds that it would be mine. When I returned, I did some verbal gymnastics and got the price even lower and away I went with my very first motorcycle! I have since added and removed countless parts, painted it a few times, and have enjoyed the hell out of it. It has had many looks, but has always provided the same reliability and fun!
