it looks pretty awesome as is.

a small to medium sized pin-up would look awesome.

Ok guys,
Not much of an update, but I was thinking about graphics for my bike and I kept coming back to those sweet late-seventies sci-fi van graphics (see national lampoon'svacation movie poster). I have a fairly off the wall sense of style and I really wanted to get one of these type graphics as my tank art. I am fairly artistic, but have no skills or materials for airbrushing; so I thought maybe I could come up with my own graphic (I am a graphic designer by trade currently) and have it printed on some high-quality vinyl and so it sticker style.

Though I have not had it made into vinyl yet, I have come up with--in my humble opinion--what could be the raddest tank graphic ever to grace a motorcycle tank:

Guess who?

Kinda sad to photoshop a Frank Frazetta piece but it would look good on a 74 Chevy van!

Yes, yes it is. This illustration depicts the moment directly after he defeated the evil Mack Brown, before returning to Valhalla to slumber.

Just to let you know, if you look at me square again, I will take you out back and introduce you to the business side of my belt (er, uh, chain).

I love this thing.

No shit, don't "fix-up" this bike. I love it just the way it is.
It just screams "I was a sport bike while your designer was messin his diapers"

This thing looks cool... definately has a "let's get the fuck out of here" thing going on. Almost like when an hot girl has to go somewhere last minute... she is looks kinda beat up but still hot.
