My bike maybe a dinosaur but it still has some bite & has a mighty roar.

Its staying orange but it will be the Focus ST orange that was originally the lamborghini orange. May be silver or grey blocks not tosure yet.

But I can see Phuks point tho keeping the silver at the centre of the bike and the black flowing from the wheels up thro and a good contrast against the orange.... bloody gemini's.. :lol: no wonder I've always owned twins :lol: :lol:

I'm planning something similar for mine, but it will be Metallic Yellow with black and white speedblock.

Leathers = Got none :(
Nail polish = Orange of course :D
Eyeliner = Same as yours #-o
Bikes got pipes and a K&N slot in filter. I dont want more speed but better looks and handling really.

You going to do the painting yourself ??
Rubber side down, Red side up is my preferred riding style.

Although I'm really into the typical Yamaha "speed blocks", I don't like them to be in two lines. But that could just be me; "it is not meant to be like that".
The blocks are on one line here, you see?

Not a very good picture but you get the idea:

But I know its not that easy to draw a line from the fairing to the back on a TRX, because the fairing is too tiny. 8-[

Edit: Ah, this is a good one: http://resources.motogp.com/files/image ... iginal.jpg
Rossi and Edwards looked like this at Laguna Seca back in 2005. Personally I prefer the Valencia 2005 colors! :wink:

Fixed for you, no charge ;)

Who am I to criticise ... but maybe adjust the size of the speed-blocks a little to get an extra one on the fairing / tank ??
(... and a version in black/white on red bike, cos I can't figure out how to do this artwork for myself !!)
