The stripe is a great ideal, I have not done any thing to the shed yet, just finished building it about a week ago.

Paint two stripes and ride between them.

Also sorry to hear about the spill. I would love to have an orange RG. I think the Road Glides as super cool. They just say to me, "Let's Ride!"

I'd recommend a nonskid paint for the stripe though.

Hence the two stripes, and ride between them, but if I ever get a shed. I am going to put a lift on it if the door is way up off the ground. Just pull up into a wheel chock, and then lift the bike up. Then ride it into the shed. Oh the dreams I have for my dream home...

Exactly. Paint the ramp in a nonskid color with another nonskid color for the stripe/s.

I'll tell you what, I'm looking at the bikes in y'alls sigs and I do believe if I dropped one of them nice *** bikes in the mud or off a ramp or off a cliff or whatever shenanigans y'all are up to, I might cry a little. My bike's so old when I drop it most of the time I don't even clean it off once I get it up, just touch up any bare metal with rust preventive black spray paint. And that gents, is why you should build your own bike out of spare parts. The end.

This is one major benefit of an all or almost all black bike. Rattle can will fix most of the minor oops's.
