Just got back from a bike show in the country and saw this 14.
No matter what your opinion, it is an amazing amount of work.
Even the rims have not been neglected...

Taste is a matter of taste. I recently saw a green Harley with all the characters from "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" painted on it's bodywork. Licence plate read "GRNCH" It was very well done. Looked like hell to me.

I could appreciate the art work if it were on a wall, but no vehicle looks good over done in my opinion. Even Kawasaki puts too much on some of their bikes right from the factory. I started removing decals from my 2013 SE as soon as I got it home.

There's a place just outside of Milwaukee called Seven Mile Fair. It's like a huge flee market and people are allowed to sell whatever they want there (as long as it is not TOO illegal). There's a guy there who makes a lot of money airbrushing bikes. ride up and he'll paint your bike while you watch. Pretty cool to see but after he's done, you're stuck with a bike that has bad artwork that was done technically perfect...for about $50. I'm sure this guy did t-shirts and jackets and just discovered for a little more work he could get a lot more money if he painted bikes. More power to him! He's definitely knows his technique and people love it. Just don't park next to a bike that was painted by a highly reputed airbrush artist.

Too many elements.
None the less kudos to person that puts in the hours to get his bike looking different and the way they like it.

I like your white whale;)That's the color I originally wanted...but they didn't have ABS on the first ones.Great choice with white there.
"I think the problem is that I had to look at it for a while to even understand what is was trying to say"...LOL..I STILL have no idea really what it IS trying to 'say'.Agree it probably looks MUCH different in person.
I'm guessing some sort of 'alien ship'?Helluva lot of work and skill however...the guy's good.

Hi guys how are ya . Well im nath the artist of this bike and dont worry i agree with most its way to busy and overboard but sorry to say this is what the customer wanted on his bike and yep its a reetering spaceship . There was no references used at all this is all strait out of my mind . There was few weeks of work involved in the whole bike and of course no i didnt see good money from it or the trophy i was promised if it won at a show like it has . Your coments are awsome love to here what ppl think of my work but yes i agree it way to much and to busy .but thats what the customer wanted so thats what he got . . Cheers hope this helps u guys out a bit lol

morgstang - 2 ways:
1) Externally: Post your pics to a pic hosting service like photobucket.com, get the link they give you and come here and post that link using the green button that says "Link to Photo Image"
2) Internally: Click the green button that says "Upload Photo". If I recall correctly, that adds the pic to your album here on this site. And then when you want to post it in one of your postings, click the brown briefcase icon that says "Browse", find the pic and click it.
I put externally first because I think it's easier. Not way easier, just a little easier. And once you add a lot of pics to your album on this site, it's cumbersome to try to find specific pics you're looking for.
