I truly love how it is simple on my eyes and the data are well written. I'm wondering how I might be notified when a new post has been made. I've subscribed to your feed which must do the trick!

I'm getting a custom paint job on my tank this summer. Having asked around, they seem to be the place to go. Check www.theroadhouseleeds.co.uk . I'm looking to get a traditional old-school style tattoo tank graphic. If anyone knows a few good sites to trawl for inspiration, please post on Ride Hard. PS - keep up the good work on blog. See you at Squires sometime? David Can I recommend Roadhouse in Leeds to anyone in the North of England. I’m getting a custom paint job on my tank this summer.

Well I have given it some thought, but not fully decided yet. The thing that holds me back the most with this particular bike is that the shape is a bit weird - not very inspiring. If I had something like a fully faired sportsbike to play with, there would be more space and scope for a design, but all I have is an oddly shaped tank basically, so really I was thinking of keeping it relatively simple, perhaps just shapes in solid colours, following the lines of the tank. Or maybe it's that I don't trust my airbrushing skills to do a design (since this will be the first time I'm going to actually use one!) Though that picture is indeed very nice!

The major question I have for you ( considering you said that you were going to wait on the design aspect) is if you were considering a splashy design, or something simple and elegant? Odd as this may sound, some splashy designs can be simple, if you don't mind taking a gander at comic books. The "phoenix effect" from X-men comics is a great example. below is a link to a image on flickr, ignore the woman in the image and just consider the bird part. http://www.flickr.com/photos/byronshell/1133963702/ I’ve just found your blog, and I’ve gone ahead and read the extra posts made since this one.
