So Ducpainter did both the helmet and bike? He told me he retired.
Also if you hadn't posted that was Australia I would have mistaken it for England.
I didn't do the helmet.
What Steve didn't mention is how long ago that project started. I'm not exactly sure, but it was well over ten years ago. I got all the color done, and the white panels on the tank covers, set it aside, and finished up other things in the shop. Then I started building my house. That took four years, and we've been living in it for seven, or eight, years.
Sometime last year he asked me when I was going to finish it. He hadn't said a word up until then. I told him it was on the list. It was the only job left in my shop, and I owed it to him to finish. As much as I was done painting, and as much as I struggled with my eyesight...finish it I did.
So when I told you I was retired, I wasn't lying, or blowing you off. I just had to fulfill an obligation that I'd neglected for far too long.
I'm perfectly content working part time seasonal at the race track building stuff, fixing stuff, and mowing.
