    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey everyone, I thought I'd share a little project I've been working on for the 550.

I've been drawing and doodling for about as long as I can remember and started with Sharpies about 6 years ago. I've always wanted to put my work onto one of my vehicles and have finally done that.

This is only the second time I've drawn on anything but paper/canvas (I've done a skateboard deck), but also the first time I've put a design on a curved surface. A challenge for sure. I've got a long way to go before I'm comfortable but am rather pleased with my first attempt.

Sorry for the picture quality...the bike was blocked in and I was too lazy to move my truck!

Thoughts?

You guys p*** me off. You have more talent under your fingernails than I have in my whole body.

Seriously, good looking art.
 
Thanks again guys. It's always great to have people enjoy my art!

alke46 - I'll bet your GS runs though... :cower:

eil - I'm thinking I'll do the side covers like this and then paint the tank, seat (cafe style) and headlight bucket to match each other. The tank is currently a really dark navy blue with a some metal flake going on and the seat is black as is the headlight bucket (I assume this to be stock?). Haven't landed on a color as of yet.
