Variety, the spice of life..

Wrapped up a few more paint jobs, and thought it was fun to do an Italian, a British, and a Japanese bike all at the same time.

'67 Triumph TR6. I love this factory paint combo. So pretty.











1977 Honda CB750F. This bike has a 900cc big bore kit, Yosh pipe and a ton more..beautiful machine...black, black, black with all stainless fasteners..so this is what we decided on.

Honda side covers..just for fun this is a reflection off a calender hanging in my shop..ooo-la-la..





1976 Ducati 750 SS. God, I can't believe I got to do one of these. Less then 200 made, appraised value 50K. Australian owner.













Re-assembly begins..and, yes..he's gonna ride it.

You're doing work for people in Australia?? you do get around don't you. Beautiful work as always, I doubt any of those tanks looked that good from the factory.

Love the Honda color scheme.Great work!

Nice work Larry.

That Ducati is sweet. As a kid, I lived in Rota, Spain. I remember my father had a Ducati, I think it was a 350. The tank was yellow with a chrome insert. Kind of like the BMW toaster.

Maybe I should scout one out...

That Triumph green is very cool.

The term "bike porn" gets over-used...but not in this case.
Beautiful!

Fine work!

Larry,

As per usual, your work is beautiful.
Maybe one of these days I'll get the chance to send you some work.
Of course, at this rate, I may only get to say "I knew him when....."

Best,
Don

Thanks, you guys. I've been very fortunate in the last year to do some really cool bikes, again, many of them from this site. I'm doing another Cooley for a member here, and Joe's VF1000R right now, too. I'm grateful for the support.

Aaaaah Larry you've done it again... and again... and again...

Love your work, and I love seeing you posting pic's of your work as well. It's definitely an art form to be shared

Love that Trumpy scheme and the Duc... and it's an Aussie Duc? I s'pose if he can afford to fork out $50K for a 750SS he can afford to fork out the shipping costs for you to do the painting too

[Big T]

Very nice work Larry

I didn't know that Ducati continued to make the 750SS after 1974

Thanks, Pete. I guess I should explain the Australian owner. He lives here in Spokane. For a number of years he owned an aluminum (racing) boat building business. The kind of boats you see racing in 3 feet of water around a tight coarse..crazy fast. He just sold the business, and is now in the process of returning home. The Ducati was a total bolt by bolt restoration. He's incredibly capable. The only part that he farmed out was the paint. He needed to get it appraised for it's return to Australia, and 50K was what it came to. As much as I'd like to say that I'm now doing work "internationaly", I can't....yet...

Very nice work Larry

Hmm..maybe I mis-heard what year he said it was..I was pretty sure he said '76. The guy knows those things top to bottom, so it might be my mistake. I'll give him a call and see what he says.

[nvr2old]

Confirmed. It is indeed a 1976 model.
