Dad and Grandad on the tank as pirates! Both have passed, but they always will go for a ride!

That is one of the coolest paintjobs I've ever seen. Awesome tribute! I love the rear fender with the lights on the boat too. Who did the work for you? That's just amazing!

My friend Mark Brown of Mark Brown Studios did near 200 hours of air and hand paint. There are actual stones in the paint as well!

What's wrong with this picture? Starboard is port and port is starboard. It's listing to leeward. Arrr Captain, you are fool'in me!

LOL, I was looking at these pics again and just noticed the floorboards in the last pic. I love it!

This is one of those bikes you could look at a thousand times and every time find something new. Tell your friend he's very talented. If you don't mind me asking, how much did he charge you?
