I've been a member of this site going on 7 years. Every time I talk to
a BA or Speedy owner I send them here.
"The members of this site know EVERYTHING about these bikes."
Let's find out.
When the BA & Speedy came out, word was the Pinstripes were
applied by the only Meridian worker that also worked at Hinkley. (don't know if the new bikes still have this)
He even initialed each tank, on a little circle at the back, under
the front of the seat, next to the attachment bolt. Inside that little circle of paint, on my Speedmaster, are the initials "RM".
Here's the Challenge: Who is RM? Who pinstriped all our bikes?
Yeah, it's a goofy question, but when I'm ridin', these things just Pop into my head.
Steelheart- '03 Speedmaster Black/Yellow
The Hayabusa Killa
16" Shorties/140 mains/Airbox drilled

Ya know I used to think that the pinstriper was doing it free hand and that made me feel special. Then I saw a picture of how he does it. Its all papered off, he dips his brush in the paint and follows the line. Is it still cool? Yes. Did it loose a bit of the impression that a really good artist was free handing so many bikes a day? Certainly.
But as to your answer,, I dont have a clue.

That's interesting! Mine is " S.C." in a little circle near the fixing bolt on the tank in gold paint.  Who was Richard Kimble,the fugitive looking for? The one armed man wasn't it?So long ago I can hardly remember.

It's VERY obvious that MY '05 America was free handed, and NOT on one of his better days.

It is a 2007 hinkley[ I think].The vin has numbers then a J followed after some more numbers with a T,then a couple more numbers.which is a bit confusing as I thought J stood for Hinkley and T Thailand I'm overseas just now but I'll check the vin when I get back.
