Sounds good and look forward to the pictures.

You could rope him in to come up with a more creative thread title

I bought a black road glide with royal blue stripe down side. then bought floorboards with skulls. then was going to have painter add a couple of skulls to the bike. Then add a few flames. then add a few swords and daggers. $2,500 later I have a cool looking pain job. But if I had known that I would gone to a different color! but it is what it is. I love it. lol

don't take long to throw $4-8K at a bike these days..and that's one that wasn't wrecked..

Hope you got most of that $$$ from your Insurance Co when you wrecked the bike.

Five weeks ago the painter told me 3 weeks. Stopped by after that time and told me 2 weeks which was 2 weeks ago today. Now he tells me 3 more F!$^ing more weeks!!!!! Oh well, its only been just shy of a year since the accident. Just don't think I can hold out until happy hour today as I am quite more than just a little pissed.

Thats it MLB...Drink Dem Sarrows Away...
The thing i dont get is with your track record of bike mishaps why would you spend all that cash on a high end paint job???
You think your pissed now...Just wait till you get that first scratch in that high end paint job...WOW...Might take more then a bottle to settle you down on that one...
To bad you cant get a cheap set of fenders and tank and throw those on your bike till your painter gets your custom set done?"Last thing you want to do is rush a painter with a masterpiece"... Those are the words of Vincent Van Gogh himself....
Well Good Luck...
