This simply defies any smart ass comment I could muster up........give the man credit for taking his own road.

Personally, I would high five that motherf*#&er at 60mph out of respect just for taking it out of the garage!!!! I love the leather Italian racing boots....

Would your insurance company cover you if you crashed because you were blinded by your own bike???

Well... would YOU steal that bike?

Maybe we should do a cost benefit analysis of old paint vs anti-theft deterrents?


On the other hand, there are the vandals to consider. ::)

This needs to go in the inspiration thread.  I might just decide to go this route.

Is that a Jaguar ornament on the front fender?

How do you paint the seat vinyl and the saddlebags and not have it crack and flake off forever?  Or, maybe you just don't.....

What an individual!   :D   :D

Yes that is a jag emblem,  and i have no idea how he painted the saddlebags and seat.  He had just gotten a ticket a few minutes before,  I watched him get pulled over and went into the store.  When I came out he was still being detained so I waited until the cop left and asked for a pic. 

BTW I saw no gold teeth.   ;D
