What's on your tank?

 Art. ?.  Someone mentioned he liked seeing the tank art so I thought we could share some pics.

 On my 750 'chopper'. Its signed by a local artist from back in the day. I asked around about him at one time and a guy said he was still around at that time but had slipped into the bottle pretty deep.  My one funny story is I was parked and a younger boy came and was looking at my bike and his upright/uptight mother grabbed him by the arm and gave me quite the dirty look as she dragged him away. Guess she doesn't appreciate fine art !!  ;D

  This scheme is on a wrinkle tank I have hanging in my basement. Member Sean and I talk about these cool old school paint jobs sometimes and both appreciate them.

  I saw the steel tank at a swap meet, I should have bought it. The fender matches the first gas tank.
  The fibremold tank was striped by "The Englishman" at Laconia. in the 70's. It was shelf art for decades. Too bad he didn't sign it.
 
   I realized I can search gas tanks on my google photos and see all of my bike pics.
