Thank you for 3 exciting seasons!

This post seems to be a real declaration of love!
So I'll just show you what a motorcycle I had.
I got it in full set and for two seasons I brought it to such a set, that when I decided to sale it, I managed to do this in 24 hours! And this happened at a time when the market seems to have died and people do not wait a single call for six months.

Originally it was completely white. With a light pearly nuance. But last off-season, I changed the stock leather cases to "deluxe" ones, painted them in the color of the bike. It turned out too much white color. It was necessary to place some accents, so after studying the market (painting, airbrushing, aquaprints), it was decided to made it with vinyl. The most budgetary, and the wow effect is not worse.

I sold it with two versions of comfort - a single seat and a trunk on the wing for the luggage, plus the standard two seats with backs and trunk on the back. It took 5 minutes to change one option to another. The Strata driving seat is removed by turning the key, and changing the passenger seat to the trunk - 6 bolts.

All seats are Corbin, as for me it's very cool when the seat is thin and stiff, not a pillow like the Mustang.

To cover the tank, the "adidas" strip had to be cut off (two-sided 3M holds it perfectly), then clean it off the scotch residues and glue it back after the cover.

Since my Strat went in a fairly sportive style, I chose vinyl in style of carbon. And a red ironic strip on the border with native paint for emphasis. And I also covered seats in the same style.
It looked bright and fresh, despite the fact that it was not expensive - three times cheaper than painting, or 6-7 times than airbrushing.

It took me one day to cover it, while it would take a week at best, if I chose painting!

The Strat will remain for me the most beautiful iron cruiser, the best in controllability in its class. For sure, it has disadvantages, but there are more advantages! Last year I rode the entire Baltic region to Kaliningrad on it.
We were in Riga (Latvia) ...

... in Vilnius (Lithuania).

... on the sea...

In the mountains (even if not very real).

...lakes...

... in the fields...

... and of course, closely monitored during trainings...

And, despite the fact that sometimes it was necessary to spend a lot of time on solving some issues...

.... anyway I will miss you.
