Treasure in the desert?

Thats the nice thing about finding old classics in the dry mojave desert! It took me 2 1/2 hours to get there but it was definitley worth it. ... he had 4 GS750's just sitting in his little building. maybe about 20 different bikes in total.

Wow! Is this person selling off all his bikes? Is he running an ad somewhere? I'd be interested to see what else he has. PM me, maybe, Mr. bhppy101?

Thank you for your indulgence,

Hey Guys.....I havent been on the forum in a while! Work has been keeping me away from building...

I'm almost done with the GT550

Here's some pics....I really like the checkered stripe pattern down the middle....I think I will start doing this to most of my bikes! Its just time consuming masking and cutting out squares...lol

[bhppy101]

I gave it a spin today....it sounds different than anything I've never ridden....but I love how it winds out! Its a hoot to ride!

True...but, other than the satisfaction of saying hey i did that by hand, what are you gonna get out of it except getting to watch the guy down the street ride by on his bike cos its done already...Im not saying it doesnt look good...it looks great! But if there is a pattern available, why not use it?? Maybe its just me, and my inferior painting skills, but id rather trust the vinyl than my own hand...I have a design i drew up on paper (skull and crossbones WWII pilot) that will eventually go on the side of my cafe tank...but im not going to trust my hand to do it, when i can take the drawing to the sign store next door to my work, have them make vinyl stickers out of it and clear coat over it...job done and done perfectly...i'm poor..lol..i dont have money to spend on paint every time a biff up a design on a tank and have to start over....i was just sayin. :?
