My Precious!

Post by ducati_paul »

It's been a while since my Bike was painted last, it used to look great
Image Image
but it was a few years ago ... 4 maybe?
It was starting to look a bit tired with cracks and scrapes, then I got tired and had a little lie down at Turn 3 at EC :oops:
Image Image
It was looking very sad now and a bit of an embarrasment so I thought I better take my sposors stickers off (besides the fact they haven't sponsored me for 3 years) and I gave the Belly Pan a bit of a spray with some Orange paint and put my spare wheels on to match 8)
Image
Yes I know the stand is on Backwards! ... it takes up less room this way :roll: Image
I've rung my painter up and told him I'm coming in, I'd like to go "traditional" Kwaka race colours, but I told him "just paint it, if you want to experiment go for it!" ... here's hoping I don't get a pink tartan bike :lol:
I had a scrounge around under the house to see what bits I could find and came out with two sets of spare fairings,
Image Image
hopefully between the 3 sets we can get one decent one,the middle set is the colours I'd like to have it if I had a choice but really I'm just interested in CHEAP!
Stay tuned and we'll see what it ends up looking like :kuda:

There's no decision to be made, it's gotta be green. Look'n forward to seeing her when she's done.

There's a general rule that might apply here mate...

Don't ask the question unless you know the answer.. :kuda:

Can you do a wrap...??...That will save sticking a hundred band aids on it
If not give him a box of band aids and he can stick em on randomly..... :D
