ok, here goes.

on thursday night, i decided to do the rit dye thing.

I got a turkey fryer to continually keep the water heated, and used 2 garbage cans to soak the parts in .

the result is this


the bike looks good from the other side of the parking lot.


i dont think that i used enough but even so, it had swirls


So, after going and having a laugh with spiderman, i came home and did this..



finally, a couple of b-boy poses

it may be a different color by then.

I am really happy with the grey though. it gives me thoughts about the color when i get the full fairing.

How much was it?

I'll have a 'spare' set of plastics when I get home that I'd be interested in dying. Not gray. Maybe something REALLY eye-catching for those days you just want to be an attention hog. LOL

Who said anything about WANTING to move to that side of Telegraph. My side works just fine for now. LOL

Just keeping my eyes peeled for something to do with the blue plastics that are coming off. They've got some minor scuffs and scrapes from NC that could use some covering up when I get the inclination.

the dye wouldnt do you much good i dont think because they are dark allready. the paint came out good but its gonna be a little while to tell how well it stays.

that last b-boy pose pic looks like you got hit in the nose and kicked in the crotch. perhaps i'm too old to "get it".

what is a b-boy? not being sarcastic, really don't know.

Welcome to my spell check nightmare!!!

B-Boy

def. Break Boy: Comes from DJ Kool Herc naming "Breakdancers" after a street terminology. The term has since evolved to incorporate all four elements of Hip-Hop.
(break basically means extraordinary)
