I like the Martin the Marsian theme... need to take it to the extreme, but it's cool!

More people have cartoon charecters than you think, it's not original to have them on a bike. There's like 5 vendors that put them on bikes allthe time in Sturgis. You critiqued my wifes bike so I critiqued your paint idea. You can dish it out but can't take it. who's the childish one? I don't like the cartoon charecters on a bike. I like flames (like the bike posted), skulls or pretty much any mean custom paint job. Like you said "your choice, your bike" go for it, but don't get pissed when I woulden't have it on my bike.

Wamp, it isn't the fact that you wouldn't want it on your bike. It's the fact that you said..

Only if you like the cartoon network and your 10
There's a big difference in saying that, and saying "I wouldn't have it on my bike, but it's your bike, your choice".

I like the Marvin.I tink it looked best with the silver pinstripe and the break out martian on the tank and the crossed arms on the front. May be a little Marvin with a ray gun shooting bugs in the a$$ on the back fender, since it has more room. Good luck. DSRTDOC

Citoriplus I like your idea with the pinstripes. Marvin crossing his arms would look great on the rear fender. Did you use photoshop to do that?

I think it would look cool! Got a chuckle out of me when I see Marvin after blasting the hole in the tank. He has that look of "Oops".

I think the one great thing about this country of ours is you have the freedom to choose. Thanks in part to fine American vets such as yourself. (Im prior Marine SSGT) Its your bike so do what you like. I think it would look much better if you made Marvin larger on the fenders. You know like run the length of the tin with some background. And I can't help but think of that big A** furball that always seemed to rub him and pet him and call him George. I think you could maybe pull off a real nice looking Scoot.

Hey Cito, I like that design, bro. It's cool to see somecreativity out there. So many bikes look just like the one that passed by 2 minutes before.
