I'm working my ass off again after an extended holiday lazy session. I was getting a case of the blues, but being productive again gets my head straight. I fear that a life of leasure would put me in the ground, so maybe knocking up a dingy hotel heiress isn't all I figure it would be.
I have a new favorite saying which is:
"as happy as a two-pecker dog"
I'm trying to decide on paint for the '75 H2. I want to stick with a factory scheme. I kind of like '74's green best, but I'd have to paint the stripes using the '75 shape which would be a pain. I can get decals that would make the whole process much easier, but only reproductions for each year. In other words, no decals in the '75 shape using '74 colors. The factory paint jobs didn't use decals, all that stuff was painted on. I'm not too confident in doing that, especially since this will be my first attempt at metal-flake also... I'd just hate to have to paint like 4 separate color coats & fuck everything up on the last coat. Here's some pics of choices.
'75 Purple
'75 Red
'74 Green
'74 Brown
I think I'm leaning toward red. That's what color the bike is now, but completely shot.
