Default Painting our Hurricane *Pictures*

First of all, I'd like to say that I finally got to drive it the other night! My husband and I went for a ride and he pulled into a parking lot to teach me how to ride it. I went as far as getting it into second and giving it a little throttle.. (btw that was the first time I drove a motorcycle in my life) Ok onto the painting...

This is unfinished, I'll finish this side tonight. I want some opinions, leave it dark blue, or add more white to it?

Wow! Will you come to my house next? DD (my wife) and I'll wine and dine you. Pretty please?

Oh, and grats on your first ride, too!

Thanks and thanks. Do you like it dark blue or do you think I should leave some white on there?

Awesome ... My main go to jacket is a Joe Rocket "Atomic" ....it's been fantastic

latest jacket I bought for winter up here, is a FirstGear Kathmandu ($199)..... also a great one.

I found MotorcycleGear.com (formerly newenough) to be great for closeout deals




So : ? which Joe Rocket jackets ya get ??

i reckon a tad more white would make it stand out more given the black background.
looks great so far

After getting over my original lust at the sheer awesomeness of it, I agree with Voxtrox. The extra white makes the whole pattern 'pop' out better.

Thanks for the input guys

Sprock- I got my husband the Atomic jacket also I got myself the Lotus. And, i got both for 255 shipped. Awesome deal! i even went to the "Chat now" box and asked for a free shipping code and the woman gave me another 5% off both jackets.
