    Finished another one for Joe

    You guys are always so tolerant of me posting pics of non-GS's so I thought I'd show some of the one I just finished painting for Joe Whelan. A 1985 Honda VF1000R. Soon to be another jewel in his ever-expanding collection.

        Looks excellent as usual.
        If this paint thing does not work out for you[yeah, right] it looks like your photography skills could pay the bills.

                Such talent should not be wasted on a Honda

                    Nothin' wrong with a VFR at all.
                    Except that it is not mine.

                            Thanks for the kind words. The parts are on their way home and should be in Joe's hot little hands by the end of the week. Can't wait to see this bike back together again. Now, (whip crack) back to the shop to finish up another GS1000S, a CBX, a Harley Wide Glide and a Norton.
