It's Delta Blue - almost purple in bright sunlight. It has metalflake in so it sparkles and looks really good.

I think blue, black and silver are the current colours in mainland Europe.
I must say I'd have had difficulty choosing between blue and red - the red is gorgeous.

Yeah, it is a really nice color. It seemed that they kept the color silver for a few years. I really liked the blue color alot but I already bought the Silver one. It is really a Titanium Silver which has kind of like a purple color when looking at it under good sunlight.

Well, it is time to change the Forum Picture again. I have chosen Dan Spevack's picture to grace our site this month. Hope you don't mind Dan . And I would like to thank MikeO for letting us use his picture for the last 1 1/2 months. It is a great looking scoot there Mike.

But Dan has a great scoot too with many additions. Some of you may know Dan from the www.silverwing.org site. He was the moderator there for a long time and did a great job and is a very valuable asset to our Silver Wing community.

Please keep posting pics of your SWing and I will go through this post for the next picture. So keep responding to this post with a nice picture of your SWing. I really would like to have some more pictures of SWings from other countries so we can take turns with the different countries. This is turning out to be a global site and not a U.S. only site, which is great. So take some good pictures of your SWing and post them in here. Thanks so much.

Jeff,
If I minded, I wouldn't have posted it.
I'm honored you chose it.

That is an old picture

Where is an updated picture with

- is that the original cowl or the Japanese cowl??

It is an old picture, but I don't have any good artistic pics with some of the newer mods.

This doesn't have the Japanese side cowls or the cruiseboards.

It really was a privilege, Jeff, and it's nice to see such a beautiful Silverwing as Dan's at the top now.

great picture of a great example, could i respectfully ask the picture size is reduced, perhaps click on to enlarge alah ebay?, as every time you click it's literally blasted onto your vision, and find it annoying you have to scroll down to do anything.

i think the world of these wonderful scooters but it's a bit to much of a good thing me thinks Wink

Hi MikeO. This is one of my favorite roads and favorite paddling spots. This is the Mississippi river close to Nauvoo Il. Now if I just had a 4 boat, with fellow paddlers, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, and.....searching my limited memory........that attractive redhead that volunteers at the Humane Society.......
How about your choices for the perfect rowing team, IF... a basket of wines, cheeses, and dancing were included??? Really, the paddles need new grips, and the boat is somewhat cumbersome,.......maybe the girls would just enjoy the picnic? Jeff.

The US 06 units could be blue, but they had a light color belly fairing. I like the all blue.
Like the ST1300 the blue ones are faster.

I am a sucker for blue.


How about a bone stock 06?

This was taken at the waters edge in Albany, south coast of WA. The ship in the background is the brig "AMITY" which was used in opening up the south west. She sits high and dry and can be boarded by tourists.

Dennis,
Before I zoomed in to double check, I thought those armrests looked a bit too much like small rocket launchers. Twisted Evil

I am looking for a new forum picture that has either with snow or a Christmas scene. Having the Silverwing in the picture is a big plus ... or if you traveled on your Silverwing when you took the picture.

Snow!

What's that, it's been so long, I would have to ride for the day to the northern parts of our green and pleasant land in the depths of winter to find the white crinkly stuff!!!

If we use Kurt's picture it'll give time for someone to take a 'Silverwing in Snow' photo and, after all, it is Summer down-under! Smile
