speaking of denim..has anyone seen the new blue denim? so much better than last years. very dark and almost looks like it has a bit of a sparkle to it. i like it a lot.

I just dont get it at all. They all seem so unfinished to me......like someone got started painting the tins.....and then said ****...I got to go....put them there pieces back on the bike just the way they are.

Has anyone ever seen that female on the Sturgis special on the Speed Chanel.....the one who pulled all her tins and left them in the front yard until they got good and rusted.....and then put them back on the bike.....but its not just the tins....it seems like she went with the rust color scheme all over the bike????

Burnish is the word I read somewhere too. So even though you know theres a color change when you remove the cover does the paint stil look good?

Every paint job looks different when you expose a covered area.
