I really honestly have no idea what I'll ever do with this bike. It's like i'm raising a kid.
I don't pressure it and it just kinda develops into it's own little ball of awesome.
I am making a support bracket for the exhaust, and light assemblies but other than that. *shrug*
It's all on a whim.  ;D

Best kind of builds. Planned ones take years to complete. I'm an example of that. :D

Last time I took off my gas tank to paint it it got smashed.
I was just supposed to touch up the green and couldn't find the can. I honestly wasn't going to paint it black. then I laid some tape down to see what it would look like with an offset stripe, and couldn't get it straight, then i laid down another piece of tape to see about making it wider, and I couldn't without making it skinnier and then it just clicked. I moved the inside stripe to the other side of the tank and my buddy went "YEEEEEESSSSSSS DOOO IT!"  :D
So i did. My boyfriend came out and said, what are you doing to it!
I said, uhhh. making it cooler.  ;D

Oh, and laziness, a full tank of gas, and a petcock that doesn't shutoff all the way.
Come on. I had 30 minutes to work with.  :D

give the girl a break, I woulda done the same thing! Actually, I did just that today (er, the exact opposite) to protect my tank from fork and/or brake fluid. 8 points for ingenuity and 9 for effectiveness.
