This is probably my favorite picture of my bike so far.


i'm looking at doing the same thing with the bright blue metallic frame paint onto my gas tank and cafe tail.

So far I vote for Shenanigans Pic to be pic of the month. If you've read his travel post, you would know he's has a lot more of good pics to choose from.

This is like a before & after getting run over by Dan. You see him & the bike, then youre waking up looking at his headlight! "Wha happin?" I like it!

Very nice pic. Right on the tracks.
Good thing the sun is coming down, so that your armpits won't get a sunburn.
Just giving you hard time.

My wife's uncle built a similar looking bike, also using whitewalls. It didn't have a sohc engine though. Instead of the ape hangers, he put a sissy bar on it.

My bike is the one above....  the one on the train tracks... 
If anyone in or around my area wants to get some pics done, let me know, I am really into bike and car pics, but very few of those are around my area.  I'm in Moncton, NB Canada.

I don't get sunburnt pitts.... haha, but thats probably because I have a hair sweater that protects me.... HAHAH.

Some great photos Quinlan! I like the scooter ones with the period dress. Very impressive.

As bits and pieces of bikes appear to be acceptable in this thread, here are my favorite pics from my project:
















I have actually turned the pic of the carbs and the pic of the exhaust pipes into posters. Look great in a larger size.

Just wondering if this thread might do better on a more active forum? Lots of good pics here, a shame more aren't aware of it.

i turn my flash off.  i shoot in a well lit area, and i try to keep my camera still. (maybe a tripod) 
thats what i'd do. your camera has alot to do with it too.
don't take me too seriously.
