Got nothing to do today. Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Figured I would post a pic of my bike since I haven't done it yet.

I like this photo, but it was taken with my cell phone. I wish I had taken it with my better camera.

This spring after I paint the bike I will try to duplicate the photo using the better cam.

Not a bad pic for a phone. How's the hammer do on gravel?

Slow! LOL!! :)

Actually there was one time where I did get the bike up to 75mph on a gravel road, it handled quite well, never again though. I try to avoid gravel, running from the cops, and high speeds (80+ mph). I don't want any paint chips, tickets, road rash, or angel's wings.

nice looking bike !!!!!

why are you going to paint it ??

and what are you going to paint it ???

Thanks for the compliment.

I want to paint it because I am in the Christian Motorcyclist Association, and I want to incorporate "Jesus Saves" down each side of the tank in red, and I have to paint it because I have a custom made lower chin spoiler that needs painted before installation. Since paint for the vic is so expensive, it is just cheaper for me to paint the whole thing the way I want it on my own.

The guy at Conquest customs has a bike he calls "Super Bee". I want to pattern my bike's paint after that one. (Pic attached)

I bought my paint already. It is PPG "Southern Belle Yellow" and some regular Black. The red vinyl decals will be made over in Clinton IA at RK Graphics. Eventually I want to have the swing arm powder coated black and the wheels chromed.
