I'd like to suggest that you paint it in multiple images of boobs.

Hear me out now.

Most of the riders you'll have gunning for you on the track will be guys - if your bike is covered in boobs they will naturally, become distracted and you'll have an advantage.

I recommend you spend the weekend on Google doing research in the many different shapes and colours available. :yes:

At work.

You'd be letting the side down a bit if the paint doesn't come out of an aerosol can. I'd paint it green, that way the damage won't be so obvious when I run you onto the grass in the sweeper.

AllanB... what a good idea... I had to laugh.. hard actually.. good call but I want some style...( I spat on my desk...hee)

After all I have spent about $500 notes on it, maybe $750 incluiding purchase etc so a $1000 with paint. I have found this racing lark quite expensive..!

You know I'm never going to get the chance to run you wide through the sweeper, All the stainless steel and assorted bling bolted to the bike make it way to heavy to ever get out of the B grade. Although I can think of a number of other people that might carve you up just to see you cry.

When are you going to make an away round?

I had Malcolm write "GAY PRIDE" on the side of my bike in pink duct tape in the weekend. It really stood out and defined the bike nicely along with making sure no other rider got infront of me.... no1 wants to be infront of a gay man

(instead they got well ahead of me hahaha)

Lucky strikes. Bring back the cigarette livery. It always looks cool. Even if smoking not.

Gotta agree with Rich entirely on this one. The cigarette companies knew how to paint a bike (and still do with Rizla GP bikes)

I dunno, after hearing more about the Gay Pride graphics, I think you're onto a winner with that.

Arron, you need Gay Pride graphics, seriously :)

Think it needs at least a half fairing, if not a full fairing. Honda RS125 fairing would look good on it. :yes:

Well I have to laugh... cigi advertising was defiantly the go for race bike a some years a go, Marlborough Yamaha being my fav.

Gay Pride... some how Dutches I think I might pass on that one, cant work out why but it does not quite gel with me.

Hope to get the plain silver paint work back this week.

Speak to the guys at Truck Collision Repairs www.truckcollision.co.nz as they do the graphics on my bike, they have a graphics department called com-flee-graphics who sponsor me....... im not sure about how much it will cost, but they also can design decals for you.
They are located in Airport Oaks, by Auckland Airport.

Don't forget I have already dropped it.. broke my launch controll (clutych lever) $0000 cant say but i have a new one ready to go...and dam it cost.

New front wheel is being powder coated and I'll have it tomorrow.. last one wobbled like me pissed... with a supper hangover and looking at a wobbling front wheel :violin: did not help last outing. Looking forward to next meeting!!! Hope to turn up ready to go with bells on no a 20can hang over!!

Ok if it half as nice as Connors then job done... be nice to Henk and he might spray some CRC on your bike... it will glow..and go... :scooter:

If you break the new one look into road bike levers, most of those have an idiot switch on them these days so you can't start it without hauling the clutch in, might be cheaper.

Gary's son and daughter in law will be riding at the next meeting (yeah, I know him). Forgot he was a painter/panelbeater/prettythingmaker.

Yeah, but crashing the bike after making it sooo pretty (actually, I didn't see you go down last time, but I'm a shocker at watching the racing anyway) - won't be as bad as before it was all soooo pretty lol

Looks good Arron. Not sure if it's the lighting, but the frame does look pinkish.
Want me to design the graphics for you? bwahahahahaha

Hmmmm, I might have to order more butterfly stickers (I do need to at some point), but I think the guy does fairy stickers as well hahahaha

(It does look good, almost too pretty to crash)
