It's lookin good Socal, I was only thinkin the other day that we seem to have lost a lot of our more inspirational bikes in the last few months, I'm hoping to inspire a few over here when my ride goes in the mag next week, I've not seen any Socal lookin bikes over here at all. Oh and some great pics mate, very jealous of your weather.

Damn dude, the bike looks awesome! And really good job on the photos.

If I may be so bold as to offer up a suggestion - maybe underexpose by a couple of stops (the little +/- EV thang ) to make the pics pop. Or tweak in photoshop or other editing doohickeys. Cheers!

J, you are a card brotha! You been too quiet lately so I figured you must be up to no good out there...been playing with trannys and what not lol, what happened with the Baker guts?

Bike is looking good as always...if you've been practicing your photography skills on the honey's too dont forget to share those as well!

How wild you looking to go with paint? You thinking old school cholo, graphics, flames, candy??? I would say a Jack Daniels paint job but you might come out of the tipsy goat and try taking a pull out of the tank! ha

Thanks Motown. I wanna keep the paint dark and wicked. No skulls or anything!!! Just dark!! And look for new pics of my new girl who has posed in playboy. She wants to have pics done with my ryde !!

Thanks Jose. I'll heed those warnings. Haha!! Thanks for the words, brotha... I appreciate it.
