the paintjob on this bike was just finished today and i think it turned out pretty good. the story is, he dropped his bike right in town on the main street late at night and it scratched the shit out of his plastics and his tank. so he got it filled, painted and some custom airbrushing. here are some pics, but they dont do this bike justice.

for all the work he gave the guy 750 cash and it took about 3 weeks to fix it. i dont pictures of it before but its looks 10x better now.

black beaters rule. gay for even bringing it up

The paint job would look much better if he get rid of the rest of the white on the bike… that kind of kills it. Nice artwork tho.

he actually added it to the tank and covered the older one. he plans on putting something on the back. he only wears ecko clothing and said he might put a big symbol there. i dont think that will look to good tho.

i dont think u have seen him ride yet so isnt that a pretty big call out right there? actually i think u two might enjoy riding with each other. he rides with a crazy motherfucker all the time and it kind of rubs off on him, but sometimes the pavement too.

Any “crazy motherfucker” can ride at 150mph on these bikes, but with untouched tire strips on the sides of this bike being 3/4" tall, I’m guessing he can’t corner all that well, which is what willybeen was implying… or so I assume.
