I'm a fan of California Kid style flames myself.

Skulls and flames will probably always be popular themes for bikes. I like both and don't care that a lot of other bikes have the same theme. The trick is to come of with something unique - not the same old Harley style flames that you see on a 1000 other bikes. Just keep in mind - if you get too personal with the paint then it may be hard to sell if you ever want to get rid of the bike.

Is this what they call a smoke flame? It's the only kind I like what every it's called.
