This is a must have for the Tennessee Volunteer enthusiast. It is custom painted Tennessee Volunteer motorcycle. Along with the paint job comes a lot of Tennessee history. The bike has been ridden by Phil Fulmer and he also signed the fender (see photo) at a Big Orange Caravan here in Orlando - Phil loved the bike. Bruce Pearl also sat on the bike (see photo) unfortunately left before I could get him to sign it but he loved the bike as well. Charles Davis, a neighbor here in Orlando and a big UT alum also sat on the bike and signed the gas tank. Charles is the current Fox Sports analyst for the BCS title game and has been for the past 2 years. Antone Davis(UT standout from 87-90, Philadelphia Eagles 5 years and Atlanta Falcons 2 years ) and who owns a local winghouse here in Orlando, has signed the rear fender.
The bike draws a lot of attention wherever it goes. From cruising down the strip during the UT/Florida game to just riding around people are attracted to this bike. It's Bright Orange and it is very loud as it has Vance and Hines pipes with no baffles. The checkerboard fenders are also very nice. I have bought every piece of chrome available from Kawasaki to add a nice compliment to the paint job. Unfortunately I have to sell due to the economy. It is the perfect bike to usher in the Lane Kiffin era and I am sure he would have no problem signing the bike for the next owner. There is also a nice place on the gas tank reserved for Peyton Manning as well. The bike is in immaculate condition and has very low miles. I have trailered the bike from Orlando to Knoxville and it is currently on display at Good Times Kawasaki in West Knoxville off Topside road. Anyone interested can go there to see. Feel free to email me with any questions you may have and good luck bidding.
After receiving many EBAY emails about the bike I feel I need to expand on the paint job. The pictures do not do this bike justice. I had a custom paint facility in Orlando paint this bike and the paint job alone cost $6,000. The paint that was used is a candy color Orange. So when then bike is in the sun it displays a beautiful color of Orange and you can see the particles of paint in the color. When the bike is exposed to artificial light it just appears to be Orange. The artist who painted it added green goal lines along the checkerboard end zones so the checker boards would not just blend in - there is a nice border. There are 2 hand painted T's on the gas tank with a gun barrel gray shadow box to give an awesome 3-D look. The middle of the gas tank has a hand painted "VOLS" down to the seat -this can be seen in the picture with Phil and myself . The O is the Volunteer star and it is hand painted to NCAA perfection. Each fender has a "T" with the gun barrel gray shadow box and each one has a hand painted VOLS with the O as a star as well and painted to NCAA perfection. When you look at the T and the Vols you cannot tell any difference than an original UT license plate or sticker. All paint is candy including the grey shadow box and goal lines so in the sun the colors are awesome. The Florida license plate on bike says 1BADVOL and it fits the bike perfect. I hope whoever buys it gets the same plate in Tennessee. Keep the emails coming and good luck. I know whoever gets the bike will not regret it. As an FYI I brought the bike to the Tennessee/Florida game in 2006 when we lost 21-20 but went down to the strip 4 hours before the game on the bike with my wife and I had over 100 Tennessee fans take pictures of the bike either on it or around it or just yelling at me to stop and let them take a quick one. Email me with any more questions.
