  7. I sprayed the rims in silver this afternoon to give more brightness tone when I paint them red, but now I’m reconsidering to let them be in silver as I think they looks great!
    What do you think?

  12. One thing that that always fascinated me is just drive my bike at unknown road without any map just discovering places, I have been doing this whole my life at the half of the world, when I build a bike the same happen.
    I let the bike choose the colores and shape as the proyecto rolls on!

  19. Dear Gents & Birdy

    I ended bored of beach time and went home to the holy land at my basement!
    I finished welding the subframe this morning, wheels on (with tyres;-)
    I had also some base coat on the fuel tank.
    Such a great day I had!
