Orange!

I have been saying this for many years. It started after I bought my 2007 Mustang GT convertible 5 speed in 2008. Blue used to be my favorite colour. I then found my 2008 Harley Davidson CVO Springer Softail in 2010. It was my first Harley. My Mustang is Grabber Orange and my Harley is Inferno Orange. Both vehicles are suped for more speed. Not the fastest on the road but a ton of fun compared to stock.

Since I was looking for a new band name, I decided to use this as a band name to put "ownership" on the name.

In the past I came up with expressions like 'Thinkers in Uncommon Sense' for my business. I saw it was stolen by an insurance company. I also was saying 'Orange is the new Blue' when I bought my Mustang. Low and Behold three years later a TV show was called Orange is the new Black. Coincidence, not sure. I am definitely not the Forrest Gump of the real world.

My main hobby besides my car and my motorcycle, is my music, my recording studio, and my musical gear and guitar collection. So, when we can, I am starting a new band and calling it this. I will post some personal videos and some gear. Soon, I will post some music from Orange is the Fastest Colour (OFC).

Stay tuned!
