It ain't a Harley but he's got the right idea.
I tried black and black and white, it didn't seem to work.

That chopper is a little too low-riding, but I love the shot! Nice use of three people with their heads on a diagonal.

Thanks Voss, I don't think the scooter would work for me but I think it is cool the kids are expressing themselves with them, that is going beyond store bought cosmetics. You can see the front end on my bike if you enlarge the photo and look through the four guys on the left.

Thanks for the kind words. :-) That one is a little small for me, but they are a good way to get through traffic in Korea.

What I can see of it looks good. When I was there (about 27 years ago), I saw nothing over about a 250. I'm sure they've grown since then. Is it comparable to the U.S. now?

I think the biggest Korean made motorcycle is the Daelim 750cc which for a 750cc cruiser is a pretty nice bike but scooters are the popular choice and they are pumping 450cc and some as high as 650cc but they are not common. The most common are 250cc to 350cc.

Korea has totally changed in the last 20 years. I've been here 24 years this time; 24 years ago there was one building in Daegu that was 25 floors, it was the tallest building most others were not over 17 floors. Now days people laugh at 25 floors. The main part of the city is only about 7 miles square and there is about three million people there. Too crowded for me :b

Yes, three million is way too many people. I was in Daegu briefly back then. Didn't seem so big. Guess scooters might be a better way to get around in a crowded city that wasn't built for motorized vehicles.
