Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul.
Life may begin at 30, but it doesn't get real interesting until about 70 mph.
You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot of experience. The object is to fill the pot of experience before you empty the pot of luck.

A friend is someone who'll get out of bed at 2 am to drive his pickup to the middle of nowhere to get you when you're broken down.
Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt at 70 mph can double your vocabulary.
If you want to get somewhere before sundown, you can't stop at every tavern.
There's something ugly about a NEW bike on a trailer.
A long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith and use up a lot of fuel.
If you can't get it going with bungee cords, wire and electrician's tape, it's serious.

great blog!! the paint youtube vid brings back memories for me. many many moons ago i worked for a man named arlen... :) i know how hard it is to spot repair metal and paint. you have made it look easy while showcasing how careful and clean will produce the best results. that bike turned out gorgeous.
Mr. M: As I've said before, you don't want me anywhere near a paint can and steel. But these two repair paint posts makes it look so easy. Of course it takes the hands of a master to pull it off and make it look this good. Great work!

Wow!!! Nice job, you make it look to easy…I use to paint myself, I know better. Well done.
Big Al
DANG! That was another example of some fine work you've done.
What are you doing adjusting insurance???
mq01,
Thank you! ....Arlen, as in Arlen Ness????
Fasthair,
Thank you!
Gymonr,
Thank you!
Jocelyn,
I used to paint for a living. Now just for side cash, and hobby. When I did it for a living, it became a job. Besides, I rarely got to do cool stuff. It was always the same three custom paint jobs on the same four kinds of chassis, in the same 3 color variations of each. I painted for a custom van and truck conversion center. Booring!!!! It wasn't till I started doing it for fun that I started getting cool jobs to do. I like the steady pay and benefits my insurance adjuster job affords me. Painting is a nice side deal though.
Thanks!
Awesome work!
I think I'll just stick to my rattle-can.
Yea you are an artist. I can relate to the job thing too. great job.
I leave all artist work to the guys and gals who know and understand such things. I don't care how easy you make it look.
If you watched me tape and finish a room with my mechanical tools, I'm sure you it would pass your mind that you could do it as easily as me...then reality will set in...
That's why they pay us the big bucks, to make hard things look easy, look good, and be right the first time!
You go painter guy! I'd pay you to paint my stuff...yes I would!
Dean D-Day,
I painted my Harley Fridge with rattle cans!

Webster,
Thanks much!
Chessie,
Thank you! And I agree totally. That's one of the reason's I pay a mechanic to fix my bike. It's not my profession. even though I'm mechanically inclined.
You R very talented..hope you make lots of money
Baron,
The money is nice, but it's a labor of love as well. I'm very inexpensive compared to most places because I work out of my home, and have no overhead, except materials, electricity, and gas to heat the garage. The tools were all paid for many years ago, and I'd pay my mortgage anyway.
Thank you for the compliment!
