OK, the boys are having a bit of a struggle to figure out what color to paint the bikes. One says red, one says black, and one says "I don't know" ;)
So what do you think.
Dawn ;D
Nice colors ;) You got my vote for all 4 but prefer Blk/Red..Honda Red of Course!

How about like an old 60's pschyadelic vans paint job? ;D ;D ;D
Something you may want to consider is the contrast of Pauls' leathers to the paint scheme of the bike. What I mean by this is the more the leathers match the graphics of the bike the less distinguishable the seperation of bike and rider in photos. Also a consideration is where the darkest colors are in comparison to naturally dark areas of the bike in pictures. Areas low on the bike, toward the front of the bodywork near the radiator, and where the rider and machine meet are examples of places that will disappear in photos due to lack of difference in colors or dark colors in those areas. The shadowed area under the bike when cornering can make it difficult to see dark colored leathers dragging a knee against a dark colored bike background.
The reason I bring this up is not only for the personal photo quality but also for sponsorship reasons. The clearer and more defined the bike is in a photo the higher the chance it will show up in a magazine or advertisement. I assume that sponsors find it very appealling when 1 of their sponsored bikes is in a magazine? This is just my opinion, but anything that easily improves my chances of a magazine shot and possible resulting sponsorship is worth it to me! :)
paint it green and yellow.
Nothing works like Yardman lawn and garden equipment...

Yellow of course. ;)
Mike is right on!
NOT BLACK.
Just curious ... does that yellow and green come with a bag? Or is it a mulcher? :D
Black White & Red, the choice of Communists & left wing radicals everywhere since 1918 ;D
Sorry, I guess I watch too much History Channel...

(I can hear Paul giggling now! ;))
"People recognize you better if you always wear the same outfit." Keep it red. ;D

Paul is a Mulcher.... Ask him about Cutting the Grass @ MAM in May ;D
Just a little more background info. Paul, has joined the Chitown Hustlers. For the last few years we have run black bikes with the chrome hustlers emblem. So what Dawm meant by the lone vote was that it probably came from the most decorated Hustler, K3. We have a red trailer and a black trailer with 2 black trucks to pull them with. That is why we would like to incorporate those colors, but they dont have to totally be black and red. Me myself would like to have a silver paint job with black and red somewhere on the bike. But black is what everyone knows us by. If someone has a cool idea for a paint scheme we will compensate by not running you over this next coming season. ;) ;) ;) Just kidding, please don't run us over. We just need an unbiased opinion, thanks in advance.

No..... That was in July. Once on turn one and once on turn 12 ??? (the last turn before the front straight). But hey, he was able to pick the bike up and still finish second.
Oh, wait a minute. I remember he went off in the rain race heading to turn to turn four. He never tipped over, but showed that and SV could motorcross pretty good. He still won that race by a half a lap.

Hi Dave:
I see there are two black votes now. ;)
I just started this thread to rib K3 a little bit. However, you have a great idea - soliciting opinions from others.
Dawn :)

Right on Dave!!

Actually, as my BLACK teammate once pointed out, "K3, you ride a BLACK bike, wear BLACK leathers, drive a BLACK truck... Is there something we should know?" I think the word "wigger" might have come up in that conversation too...
All I know is that "I had a dream," and now my office is very nicely decorated! ;D
