Uh I though you had ultra grip tyres, and parked it on a wall. It looks alot better parked on the floor. Nice design.

I would probably choose a painter that doesn't use crayons.

Darrin, you got kids still keeping it in the lines. They could make a little extra cash.

Not bad. Can't go wrong with blue and everything seems evenly spaced out.

Darrin,
Unfortunately the side room at the hospital is just air-conditioned and the respatory unit would hate the spray booth fumes hence the marker pens.
With all the tubes (blood & medication chest monitor & oxy style masks etc) it was something of an effort to focus but was going nuts with boredom until the speedway came on the TV RESULT :banana:

Yamster,
I did that originally and realised it looked just like every other speedblock design I had seen, not that this is new RDRC's machine is similar to this but with mine there is astripe on the top of the tank that links into this side design.

KGB racing was a joke there were 3 Guys, Kerry (now deceased) George & Brian who were into bikes big time, 2 of us were chasing the Russians hence KGB Racing. :whistle

Beside my brother had CIA (Cycle International Associates) :banana:

I like it George, though I reckon you should have the speedblocks running along the middle of the front mudguard also.

I also think a yellow race number plate background on the end of the tailpiece, extending up over the pillion seat cover, a bit like my bike had in it's original bodywork...
