Motorcycle art

Bet'cha' all those "friends" of yours that are hauling all those t-shirts
around might be interested in you smearing some paint on their motorcycles..
huh ? Maybe you'd get better response from that group, anyway.. Why don't
you post all that on Reeky.. Sometimes that's motorcycle related too...

 

Damn good work, lady

 

Pretty cool, Sunny. I haven't been around here much - you can imagine
why. Anyway, are you having a BBQ at the lake this year?

I like to paint on motorcycles.
If you aren't interested in seeing a couple of painted gas tanks that I did,
please disregard. I'm not selling anything. Just showing what I did to my
bike and Joe's tank.

This tank has matching fender.

At least this post has motorcycle content.

 

Thank you, Paul. A guy down the road from me has a paint shop and he said I
can use his facilities any time I want to. He even wants to set up a shop
just for l'il ol' me. I may take him up on it. There's a lot of riders
around here. Who knows, I might get busy.

 

Hi Bill and thanks, long time, no time. I hope things are going well for
you. You've been missed.

As for the BBQ, there'll be a BBQ get-together in July.
Drop me an e-mail at
sunny at pk riders dot org and I will send you info on it.

Btw, got one more pic to share. I just took it a few minutes ago.
Joe's front fender:

Since his deer accident, Joe added hwy bars (I call them crash bars). <g>

Take care and hope to hear from ya.

 

Yep, airbrushing is a whole other art in itself. I picked up a few pointers
from an airbrush artist that I met at the ROT Rally. I've been painting
since I was 3 but had never tried to airbrush before. That eagle was my
first real try at airbrushing. I was pleased.

If your son is really interested in learning, check this site.

Through this site, he can buy the tools of the trade and learn how to use
them.

I wish him good fortune.

 

Below, say, I am MMMMMMpressed.
That is some great ''airbrushing''.I do a little ''ariBrushing"' have painted a tank or two, but I really
enjoy painting helmets. I collect hemets, in a way,I painted one to resemble the ''captain america'' one, worn by Peter
Fonda in the great movie....Easy Rider.I wear it on occasions, especially around July 4th.I am careful of leaving it on the Bike, cuz of someone lifting it, and
so 4th.

Theres a Victory Bike, that is painted from 'bow to stern', like the
''stars & stripes'', in my area's store. A lilttle old arkansas RedNeck
did the job, and got $2300 for it, I think, that much.The bike, appears to be wavy, looks so realistic. It's all an ''
illusion''. That's what art is, and I love it. enjoyably speaking.

----nice ''fading job'' on the fender!
I notice his crash bars''. and notice he has his pegs on the inside.
That's where I have mine, I am too short legged to have em' on the
outside, too much of a stretch, and I think they look mucho better on
the inside....(Q) does Joe, have any interest in ''fussing'' with us in this tx.moto
group.
OR? Is he in here with an ''unknown handle''.
ahhhh......kidding......bjay

 

Thanks, Bjay.

Maybe you could post a pic of your helmet.

The eagle on my bike matches the eagle on my helmet. Joe bought me the
helmet for our anniversary a couple of years ago, so I decided to match it
on my bike.
I never leave my helmet on the bike. I either carry it with me, or put it
in one of my saddlebags, if I don't plan to be gone long or can see the
bike. Locking it to the sissybar isn't safe enough. Someone might cut the
strap.

Ride safe,

I will be able to do that sort of stuff, once I start using Cliff's paint
shop. I don't much care for airbrushing tanks and fenders on my kitchen
table. <g> I stripped the paint off of Joe's bike parts and started with
bare metal. It has about 14 coats of paint and 6 coats of clearcoat on it.
I may buff it and add more, though he is thinking of me painting again and
using a "thunderstorm" theme, with lots of lightning.
It's either Cliff's shop, or Joe will have to build me a shop here at the
farm.

 

Thanks, Albert. That is what I am thinking of doing. I love to paint and I
love motorcycles, so I'd have the best of both worlds. The icing would be
the pay.
This is a motorcycle town. Lots of riders and lots of bare bikes.

Have a good day,

 

He has decided he doesn't like the crash bars. He had planned on putting
hwy pegs on them but not now.

He doesn't normally read newsgroups. Only once in a while if there is
something of interest to him and I point it out to him.
He spends a lot of time working on a local real estate website, for one of
our clients. It is a huge site and the owner is always wanting changes and
additions.
You can see it here, if you are interested in looking at some of the houses
around the lake.

Joe built the website and I helped with some of the graphics.

He use to use "shiftman" and signed it as Joe.
I don't know if he still uses that handle or not.

 

I appreciate that, Albert. I'm working towards that goal.

 

Sunny, did you do the below, while Joe was convalescing, due to the
encounter with the deer?------------sunny wrote----

Better watch out for the "livestock" though.. huh..Leonel ?

 

Yep, it's is beautiful. Joe said it was just recently built. He gets to see
all the property before it actually goes on the market. There's a bunch more
too.
The one you are looking at, is on "The Ranch at Possum Kingdom". It's
gated, they have a riding stable, large area to ride ATVs and dirt bikes, a
million$ swimming pool with all the amenities. It also comes with a
courtesy dock and marina.
Possum Kingdom is one of the most beautiful lakes around. They even have a
treated water system. Just like living in town except you don't have to put
up with city traffic and you have the beautiful scenery.

I know all the agents and can put in a good word for ya.

 

Then you had best let me know when you'll be up here next time. Joe and I
will meet up with you.

 

Yes I did. That was the only time I had to work on the bike, was while he
couldn't ride. <g>
