Expensive beer ad!

Peeeuuuuuke!

Guess I'm a purist but that's too much!!

You can't improve on perfection

What is with the Corona advertising. I hope he got paid to put that on his bike. It doesn't look too bad other than that with the yellow. Not what I would do but acceptable.

Too much yellow.

I was thinking of doing my frame yellow and then doing a Mother of Pearl blue overlay with Chevy blue metallic tank and sides, and engine parts.

I'd go with a different color, but I like the concept.

It must be a bar hoppers bike. KerKer is nice ... to bad he's not parting it out :-)

I don't have a problem with the paint color - my objection is with the Corona ('can't stand beer) - he must be a beer distributor, a bar owner, or got paid very well for doing advertising for them.
...but, doing both the 'sheet metal' *and* the frame may be too much for some IMO

There aren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe how how ugly this bike is.

I'm puzzled by the claim that the entire bike was professionally done, followed by the phrase "I installed a complete engine gasket kit including shaft seals, head gasket, jug gasket and all exhaust gaskets".

Between that and the fact that the bike is FUGLY I suspect the owner may be completely deranged.

nice conceptualizaton , execution, good for him

I like the monochromatic look of the bike; I might have chosen a different color but, as I see it, it wasn't my decision, and anyway, it's all about making the ride yours. however different that may be. I say, "more power to him!"
