mrbreeze · « **Reply #2 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:24:46 PM »

She made it her own.Nothing wrong with that!!!

Johnie · « **Reply #3 on:** May 12, 2009, 06:58:50 PM »

She did that so you would not ride it. Smart girl...

I kinda like it, despite the fact that it's a DOHC.

I pulled up while she was going this to her poor defenseless bike. She says girls like it and guys don't. Being a guy, I have to agree. A picture does it no justice. But she likes it

kinda fugly, but unique

Blasbo · « **Reply #11 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:16:10 AM »

I like it! But plaid is my favorite color...

Gordon · « **Reply #12 on:** May 13, 2009, 07:30:49 AM »

What did she use to do that?

burmashave · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2009, 08:20:03 AM »

Her family tartan, Clan of Byrnnoyle.

I think she used tubed acrylic paint and some little paint brushes

Hi, Sweetie here under Spanner's banner. Thanks for the comments and I'd like to add that it takes a superior intellect to appreciate fine art. It's now very much a chick bike but since Spanner is now fully committed to rusty old SOHCs, I'll leave some room on the back for him next time we go out riding.

In fairness, the last time he had to ride home on the back was the fault of the old DOHC 750K that he got rid of. hee hee hee

"Clan of Byrnnoyle" - good one!!!

spanner/sweetie... are you aware that you must get new riding gear now?

what a horrendous scheme... you sure did get the ugly end of the tartan stick!

is that all just pinstripe decal material?

I would have had to put the bullet in the head smiley instead.

nice work... i do appreciate a custom, simply for the imagination.

Chester345 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 13, 2009, 09:08:30 AM »

That's absolutely awesome!

Way to take it and make it your own!

burmashave · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2009, 11:50:45 AM »

Hey Sweetie, welcome! There are two reasons why I'd say that you and Spanner have a promising relationship. First, you can paint a bike, by hand, no less. Second, he calls you Sweetie.

do you know that is paint? i asked if it is paint because i couldn't tell from the description or pictures.

burmashave · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2009, 12:28:04 PM »

You mean that their relationship may rest only on Spanner's term of affection?

heffay · « **Reply #21 on:** May 13, 2009, 12:30:15 PM »

ha!

no, I ask because it could be done w/ pin striping sticker instead of paint.

Upon closer inspection, I'd say this is correct. At least it doesn't look like pin-stripe tape when zooming in.

You go girl Sweetie, my partner "Jaffa" is about to ruin a perfectly good GSX400L by painting it "PINK" so tartan aint so bad.
Maybe I could talk her into her family tartan (the Macdonalds) {small c}.
But I reckon she could be onto something here, I mean who in their right mind is gonna steal a pink bike?

heffay · « **Reply #24 on:** May 13, 2009, 03:02:18 PM »

Hush... I remodel for some MacDonell/McDwatever clan. There's so many names!

They are McDaniel at this point.

I think a pink cafe would look cool. Put a white chequered stripe down the middle and a white "59" on the side of the tan. Better yet, how about a white skull and crossbones on the tank? Do up a white seat/pink fiberglass cafe seat. But what the heck do guys know about color? ;-)

donny · « **Reply #26 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:16:15 PM »

I like it....a bit of Black Watch somewhere would.........

Slayer · « **Reply #27 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:42:43 PM »

Not usually my cup of tea but it is like the guy with a camouflage (my fav color) paint job, gotta ride what you like. I tip my cap

my78k · « **Reply #28 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:51:27 PM »

The only time a bike should be plaid is if it is accompanied by a girl wearing the same material in kilt form! Preferrably with Pig Tails and kneee socks!

Aw damn now I gotta go flip through the babe thread....
