Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Oh, and the color is called Cast Iron (inventive isn't it?).  I believe the paint is for engine blocks or something but I'm not sure. I'll ask once he's less grumpy and has had breakfast.

I like the color a lot and the top triple!!!
Enjoy the ride!  [moto]

So last summer I had some very...(can't find the right word) offers to paint my bike

I was highly flattered and appreciated them

but

with the amount of damage to some of the body parts

I just couldn't have somebody do all that work and not get paid appropriately for them

so i learned how to strip paint, sand, and do bondo

First off, the quick dry bondo that you mix yourself is not the ideal stuff to use

it sets up too fast and that causes pitting while spreading

also after i was done the nice folks at the fire house who have body experience explained feathering to me...bastards

So the job is not to be inspected at any range closer than 25 feet and no camera with a higher pixel count than 1.5 is to be used

The color is Cast Iron Grey, I love it, it flatens out nicely and has a teeny bit of metal flake in it

and it is fuel resistant and retouches without any indication of being resprayed

it is the ultimate ratbike paint

Battery charged up?

Looking forward to hearing about a great ride!

I forgot that part

I literally went over to the charger to plug it in and then we left

I think I did it in my brain but forgot to make my limbs move

Hmmmm gauges aren't sweeping, just going to a point and stopping. Gonna let it sit on the charger a while longer.

Just needed a battery so we stole one from my bike. No riding for us this weekend since only one bike can go at a time.
