Thought I would post this because it's after 1am and I'm on the computer. My wife shot this pic from her car while cruising thru brooklyn.

A GREAT shot! If I had to call this picture something, I'd call it, "Being in the Zone." Love the bike too... a lot!

When you're standing still, I'd like to see some more pics of that bike.

That IS an awesome paint job. That's that one with the gears, right? By Ryzart?

yeah, Ryzart is awesome. A very humble dude too, who just loves to paint. He did the helmet in the pic too which I frickin dropped yesterday. so bummed about that. If I get some good lighting I will snap some good shots of the bike and post them up. But John youre right that headlight is the bees knees. I just made a straight bracket and plugged it right in.

what color did you have your headers coated? or is that scuffed chrome?

You look so relaxed and that's what it's all about. Great looking paint!

I cut a round scotch brite pad and put it in a drill and went to town on the whole bike. No more chrome.

Ok I give up, what have I missed? Are there other pics with a bit more detail happening or something, cos from that one pic you guys have me intrigued. I'm not meaning to be a smart ar*e or anything but there's just not enough detail of the bike for me to be doing cartwheels yet. Hey, no offence intended just give me some more detail to make an informed decision that's all. One thing I can say though is Blackbird's got the attitude that says he loves his bike and isn't that all that matters. For that reason the pic is worth framing.

That is a badass paint job. I really like the bike as a whole.
