I am puzzled by the title...first REAL ride Laughing emoticon

Some view you had there! My first ride was at the seaside. Included was a 100 mile ride on the highway (Interstate).
Boy, that was felt real to me too 8)

"Real Ride"
Well I picked up Vincent on July 4th. So of course I had to wait 3 days to get to the DMV to switch insurance from my old LX 150. Then I had so much work keeping me in the office that I've been limited to necessary rides like to and from the Post Office etc... Yesterday I was able to ride a nice 50 miles on some beautiful back roads by my house. I consider this my first real ride because it really felt like one. Thanks for the compliments on the view. I can not take the credit. I live in Sullivan County New York (the catskills) I can't ride all year round but when I can I always have some killer view as a destination. More pics to come I promise.

Black Rules, except...
I've just picked-up my first scoot (250ie) last week - it's black also but it has tan seat so its not as fast!
I really like the black - but I want to be seen. I dislike the idea of hiding a great paint job behind reflective decals, pin-striping, etc., but not as much as I'd dislike being bumped into by tons of steel (and plastic).
I guess to be safe I should do my best to be seen. The only product I've seen that I like is the pin striping by StreetGlo. Any ideas or opinions for other products?
