Hey, guys... I'm new to the site and thought I would chime in. I am out of Ohio and do custom paint work. Bikes, autos, semis... you name it and I'll try and paint it. If anyone would be interested you can visit my site at Home. Don't know if this is good or bad, but cavracer21 can speak for my work. Thanks!!!!!!!!:2thumbs:
Artrigs...I'm considering having a full face helmet custom painted to match my custom paint scheme on my K-9. You can see my bike on the forum. Please PM me.

S'up guys... thanks for all the welcomes. I sent you a note newbie, but I hadn't looked at your bike. The helmet would be $300 with your design. I was picturing something like Cavracer21's bike with a crazy old school flame job. I'm in Piqua, Ohio... just a stones throw from Dayton. I'll zip a shot of my scoot to cavracer to post, cause I ain't got a clue how to do it...

Thanks steve... thats my baby. Sure not the killer choppers, but not bad for $700. It was abandoned by its owner and I aquired it through a mutual friend. Looked like junk but ran.. so I took it to my local bike shop that I do work for and told him "do what it takes". New tires, seat, clutch cable, and change the fluids. I add the cafe fairing at the end of riding season to make it not look so... wimpy.

Hey Artrigs, you know a guy by the name of Chuck Fries by any chance?

He owned a body shop (in the Pique area) for a while and I got a chance to see some of his work and he even talked a bit about doing some custom work on the bikes a while back when I sold him some equipment.

I am only asking in case you are the one who bought his shop or a relative.

You both do some f'in awesome work.

When was it that you talked to Chuck? When he owned the shop I would have been the one to do the custom work. I have known Mr. Chuck for about 10 years now and the new owner of the body shop is a good friend of mine. We collaberate on projects every so often... got a crotch rocket body to pick up there this monday thats getting dragons and fire. Thanks for the compliment...

I met Chuck a few years back when I sold him his mowing equipment for his property. I also sold one of his boys a mower as well.

Ask Chuck if he remembers the guy who sold him his equipment.

If you did his jeep, that was some extremely detailed work.

Might have to add some tin work to list of items this year.

Just wanted to wait another year to balance the funds.

When I see him I'll ask him... that jeep was done by Travis Hickerson who actually ownes Chuck Fries now. I does lay sweet graphics and when it gets beyond that he calls me in to help out. And the funds thing... I feel your pain.:bang:
