Well in my attempt to be productive yesterday I was running the hose through the garage and out the window to fill the hot tub. The hose decided to find it's way around my dirt bike motorcycle ramp, about 30lbs of solid steel, and knocks it over right on my rear fender. ^$@$^%&^*. It of course left a dent, not as much as I would of expected but I know its there. Not knowing what to do with my bonus money, yea right, am now thinking it's a must to be fixed and am looking for some new paint ideas. Has to go with the black frame though.

Thinking the whole thing at this point. I was so pissed knowing that this was going to happen someday and still didnt move the fricken ramp that I just about ran down to Ace to get a can of flat black and turn it into a rat bike. :roll:

Scott you do so many seats with the Alligator I think keep the same flames but where your paint is black have it painted to match the Alligator skin. That would really match you seats you do, and the one on your bike as well.

Sorry to hear seat, as suggested get with Ed, he'll give you some great ideas and it'll surely be a one off :D. I think the paint you have now is bad azz looking. Just my thoughts...

I wish I had more money.
You know the rattle can thing isn't so bad of an idea till your riding season is over. I think I'm going to go buy a ramp and set it next to my bike. I'm ready to change up the paint. I can't see the damage in the picture?

That pic was before the hit, it's just a slight 1 1/2 " crease looking dent. Could just pretend it never happened but thinking its time for change.

Spare set is prob the way to go! In the long run it will be nice to have a backup set of tins laying around just in case an accident happens! I like that idea, might have to keep an eye out on fleebay :2thumbs:

That is like asking 50 guys to pick the hottest woman. You gotta figure out your tastes first. I like big boobs and nice curves. On bikes I prefer a paint design that accentuates the shape of the bike. I'm not a fan of mural looking stuff. That doesn't mean I don't like looking at them. I also like paint jobs that draw you in. Bright yellow looks great from 10 ft away than as you get close if there is nothing else to keep you looking you won't. Find something that keeps you looking and you will be happy with it for a long time.
I know this is vauge but many people over look this stuff....
