| Starting for the "new" look Well, today was not only my last track day at Grattan for this year but also for Thumper's street plastic. Thumper, my 04 yamaha R6, his now naked and waiting for the new improved look. Here's some pictures of before, and the naked ones.  PS: Thanks to the MAN (Michael) behind the street plastic, we had that done in a shiffy....... but dude, no more dancing ok?  I will post more pictures has it gets better. | |

That's cool. we were both so tired and to actually sleep in a good bed at candlestick is a miracle. Remember what we talked about the hand writting kind of way I wanted? We have all winter......... hey, here's a good excuse for us to hook up this fall/winter. | |

aint that the truth  - we never did ask what that room normally goes for  - don't know what was better the two bathrooms.. the living room... the two TV's... the mirror walls or the HUGE COMFY California KING BED yup yup... remember .... I'll throw some your way before too long.. got some other cutting jobs to do once the idiots get their chrome vinyl in  a 2 wk backorder on it yet... have plenty of white already however so that's no prob...yeah we def need to get together yet this fall/winter... it appears if the weather holds out like they claim I'll be coming down after the Girls Ride on Sat for the BBQ but not sure about staying overnight.. depends on who all else is going and how they plan to go...

| Re: Starting for the "new" look I say get some pinstripes in black and out line the yellow then with your numbers in there black it'll stand out more and look better.. then we can get you your name figured out after that.. but get me a picture of your bike with the plastics on it from the side straight on and I can get some sample photoshop jobs so you can have an idea of what you want where.. it'll make a difference with your stock tank since it's got white.. we need to get some more white on the rest of it somewhere to tie it all together... Lovin the blue babe... I think that's the same blue in my flag theme on the 929... E. |
