Hey Crazy, great paint job. Original! haha. Mine is actually a photoshop. I was toying with the idea of a paint scheme last winter and a buddy here on the forum put it together for me.

I'd like to do it, but I'm not sure about the attention it would get. If that's something I want.

What do folks say about your paint scheme, people you ride with, and folks you know?

So far, nothing but positive comments. I've always had custom paint jobs, but I got more comments in the first week with this than I would usually get in a whole summer. Lots of people in cars comment at traffic lights.

The cool thing is I did this as kind of a tribute to my uncle Deno who was in the Air Corps in WWII in the pacific. He wasn't in the Flying Tigers, but I always liked the F.T. design, and I had the painter put his unit patch on the front fender along with "Cpl. Deno Bliss 13AF USAAC WWII" written around it. I've gotten a lot of positive comments from really old guys who see it because of that.

PS: OP: sorry about the hijack

About 7 weeks out.

If you are any distance away at all, you know by now whether you are going or not.

I'm headed out with my crew for the second year. Staying in Rapid City this year. Make sure you go see the lighting ceremony at Mt. Rushmore.

That's funny, and so true. Also add, "Beer is too expensive..whaaa, whaaa". Good then, you people stay home.


I've been going on and off for almost 20 years now. Riding up from Las Vegas this year. I've missed it the past four years, not this year!!

Going for my first time this year, neighbor across the street invited me. Just going up for 2 nights and stay at one of the camp grounds. Dates are not set yet but I am going to suggest 4-6 so we can avoid some of the crowds but still pick up a few shirts and get some good riding in on the one full day we are there.
