Re: Ground Resistance: Pic Dump

The engine is in the frame, repeating, the G-D engine is in the frame.

I would attempt a recap or some witty banter, but I'm tired. Pics are all you get, so eat your shit sammich and like it!

I'm hitting the hay, see youz guys in the morning.
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

So totally unbelievably cool! I concur with revhead's bullet hole input. Do you have plans for your gauges? In my minds eye I see two mismatched aircraft or military/utility units....

This is a piece of art.
Weird, scary and slightly alien art.
Yeah...
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

Lookin good bro. And I don't know about Joe, but that dash is perfectly fucked up as far as I'm concerned :P
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

I was kinda excited when I just told my wife you guys want me to put some bullet holes in this thing. She said "I'm afraid we have to draw the line somewhere dear, that might be a bit much".

I was slightly confused and asked if a couple of more holes would really be too much. I mean from a design perspective I have added a lot more outrageous detail to it. I was just attempting to mount an argument for some tactically placed defensive damage when she asked

"are you seriously planning to shoot your motorcycle".... :o

Soooo, ummm... No. I explained that a drill would probably be the preferred method. And without skipping a beat she said, "well look at the thing, and I know you and the type of guys you must be hanging out with".

You guys have officially been deemed a bad influence on me. Congrats, it takes a real rough crew to get that kinda honor.
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

Wooohooo officially on the shit list! Well that's ok, we try. This thing rocks Cresent. I would just avoid the bullet hole thing on any part that has to hold fluids ;D
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

That look just rocks. I'm smiling my ass off just looking at how cool that bike is. I'd like to see it in person just to spend some time looking at all those details. True artistry with the paint

True, this is one bike you could walk around and see something you missed everytime for days, Love all the little details adding up to a very cool piece or rolling art!
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

Man this build is awesome! great job looks strait out of fallout or mad max, my question is what kind of gear are you going to rock on this mean machine? Sorry if you have already posted this answer I haven't made it through the entire thread yet
 
Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

Been following your build from the start, but don't think I've commented to date. I love what you're doing and can't wait to see a picture or video of that thing on the road.

I listed a small part of my brass and copper collection a while back, take a look at the link, if you see anthing you think you could use just copy the image, circle the item and repost it. Just pay the shipping.

Re: Ground Resistance: Painted Lump...

Thanks for all the kind words guys, and the offer Johnny.

As far as the paint goes I'm thinking I might add a tasteful accent color like the rifle from District 9, or some black and yellow safety striping. The engine is looking kind of monochrome with the black and silver...

I'm leaning toward the black and yellow.

For my gear I'm modding an old full helmet, and currently trying to add tire armor plates to a jacket. That would be my special occasion wear though. I don't think I could pull off showing up to work in that get up.

Bike show gear would be cool as you can hang it off the bike fro effect. Just riding in your uniform to work would match the bike I bet!
