Hmmm a possible way to confuse the cops about which way I'm actually going?

Nah, I couldn't do that to my bike.

always thought that would make a great scheme for a helmet --

Dazzle Camouflage, isn't that like chroming your Buell to go to a HOG rally, you know the thing, it sounds like a Harley & it's got lots of shiny stuff so it must be a Harley.

As for the helmet idea I think that'd be cool but only if you want people to think,"hey there goes a man with no head"

I'm sure someone will do a paint scheme like that on a bike & it'll be great til some asshat wipes him out & says I couldn't see him, at which point the lawyers will start debating whether a camouflage paint scheme is a contributory factor.

Think I'll paint mine Dayglo yellow.

Second thoughts, I'll just leave it dirty as usual.

How about a wild camouflage paint job in daygo colors? No one could possibly claim they missed seeing that. Anybody remember the Peter Max painted Buell? I believe it was an S3. I have a pic somewhere that I'll have to dig up.

I loved the paint scheme for aircraft that had a false cockpit painted on the bottom. The idea was that you would get a seconds confusion as to the direction of the plane. Guy named Ferris I think, came up with that.

You know the F-117? Original paint jobs were a pinkish grey. The U.S. AirForce would not accept pink planes. Uh Uh, no way. Not even if it was a better color to hide at night. Black is more macho. So we got black jets.

In Wilmington NC the battle ship North Carolina is moored and its painted in the dazzle camo its kinda cool looking, vs the BSG that the thing was painted

of course having a full set of 16" guns is kinda cool too,

If you ever visit try to catch the sound and light show in the evenings kinda cool too.
The right thing is not always the easy thing, but its always the best thing,
