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.

     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!  :)

Just curious ... does that yellow and green come with a bag?  Or is it a mulcher?   :D
