My fat-girl is back from the shop after having her rear plastic and chrome parts fixed. For those of you that don't know, I had a little mishap on the way to IZXI this year up in Cheyenne WY. I was rear ended by a Valk but both bikes were mechanically sound. So guess what, we rode them 3200 miles to IZXI and back home. Thank God noone was hurt either. I had to paint most of the "tins" so I decided to do something a little "different". Scott hooked my up with a guy that had custom painted his IS. He sent me some pictures and I really liked it. I used the same color that he did, but changed up the stripes a bit. Thanks Scott! Here is my bike with the Mustang racing stripes. I really like it and I hope you do too. First, my favorite pic.  Then on to the others.   This is what the stable looks like now...they barely fit...   Hay  Jimmyt |

Paint jobs that look like they could have been factory, but are not, appeal to me.

Thanks everyone. It was a hard decision to stray away from the factory color schemes, but now that it is what it is, I really like it. Jess - haven't decided about the reflectors yet. They are in the trunk awaiting my decision Bama - Blue is up near the top of my favorites. I like white trucks tho. Hedgehog - I believe it will make it that far. Cajun - I like the 45's too, but need to cut them off a little bit as they keep scraping. Quicksilver - I don't know of a production bike with this color. Joe - but now we don't have matching bikes anymore. 98 - she turned enough heads before, but I agree. Rtaz - we will!!! Next July at IZXII. Who's bike was that. Its similar, but not exactly. Hay Jimmyt |

That's really beautiful, Jimmy, and given the condition of your garage, I'd be willing to give that beautiful blue stripey machine a great home up here in Massachusetts for the winter just to ease your crowding. Uh Oh, the trike heard me, and she gets very jealous, never mind... Hope I get to see it in person one of these days!
