Could be any number of paint/powder coatings.  Silver is not an unusual color for engine paint.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That is a great looking engine.  Shames my paint from the Ducati batch that couldn't take the exhaust port heat.

1) Wad bike
2) Fight with wife during recovery about continuing to ride
3) Get divorced and move out, ending up with remains of wadded bike and studio apartment in shitty side of town. She burns your clothes.
4) Become a misogynist and spend all time polishing parts of bike that are still usable, for years.
5) Save enough money for missing pieces, like a new tank and frame
6) Reassemble
7) Worry obsessively about someone stealing shiny bike
8) Worry obsessively about someone stealing shiny bike
9) Worry obsessively about someone stealing shiny bike
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

LOL

Anything that begins with "wad bike" gets my funny bone

FYI, most don't appreciate the offer to buy 'em new cans.
