hehehe camo and invasion stripes. All it needs is a couple of iron crosses painted on the side of the tank as kill markers.

I think it refers to being a Spitfire Plane as the bike is painted as 1, I like it

Thats pretty sweet, I've debated on doing a aircraft style bike for years, Ive had 2 jeeps in that style the first in Flying Tiger P40 warkhawk trim and the second P51 style done with aluminum paint and real rivets and exhuast ports in the lower fender/ rocker panel made from 2 1/4 inch tube it was a pain in the ### to do but looked way cool.

I am not sure about the Olive Drab thing on our bikes. I think it would look great on a standard Bonnie but not sure about on a Speedmaster or an America. I would have to see one in OD. The Spitmaster is cool though! I like

I looked good on a Dyna Harley...I was really surprised...I shot some paint on my tank and it didn't look right..with the speedmaster there was too much black on the motor, trans and etc...maybe on a America because it has more crome...

You posted in the wrong forum. This belongs in the Redneck thread up in the Lounge!!


But yeah, that a seriously sick paint job. Gotta hand it to the artist that's for sure.

Okay Carl, I gotta ask...Did ya perhaps also have some little Mercedes and/or Toyota logos painted on the side of those Jeeps of yours to represent each of the M-class and Land Cruisers that you killed..err, I mean that you swooped past while you were out there in the bush too???


(...oh, and did you ever achieve "Ace" status?)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
