For the first time EVER my bike is clean and SHINY :-0

[RatbikerNate]

But it's only shiny because I've just painted it with this crap.

And it's only clean 'cos I painted over all the dirt.

And no, I did'nt spend £14.99 on paint, I just found half a tin of it in the shed that came with the house.

Why did you do that? thats like gutter paint ha!

get some BMW black or something from halfords, its not expensive.

Plus its gonna look a bastard when that exhaust heats up and it starts peeling off.

Oh well lol

You used bitumen based paint on something you sit on. Better buy some more matt black.

[Madmanx]

If you were going down that paint application road you could of used hammerite smooth

personal preference. almost every bike i have owned has been sprayed with barbecue paint all over, because i like that look. The only reason the rs hasn't been sprayed is because ive ran out of paint and im trying to keep it clean and relatively stock to keep the resale value because its not planned to be a 'lifer' yet like the CG.


Cheers
John

It was a honda bros ffs. Worst. name. ever. and painted right across the side of the tank. That alone is a good enough reason to paint over it with anything available to hand.

Besides which. A standard Bros is hardly awe-inspiring in cosmetic terms. I'd rather have something individualist and different than a slightly faded universal Japanese bike.

Besides. It's bitumen paint so it's really very dark brown. It will do a very good job of stopping the thing from rusting which after all, is what paint is for.

Nath likes bikes with their arse chopped off. I've done it myself before, I like the look of the exposed back wheel but the handiness of having somewhere to put my panniers has got the better of me these days.

If you think about it, even the sports bike manufacturers are going down a similar route. Sportsbike rear ends are getting more and more minimalist and further away from the back wheel. I suspect it's probably ony some European countries insistance that the bodywork on a motorcycle must extend beyond the rear wheel that is preventing them doing a fully truncated, single seat jobbie.

Can you tell a rider's age when they are in full leathers and lid and riding past? 'cos I can't.

I'd rather own a bike that I've modified to be uniquely mine than one that looks just the same as everyone else's and is just a tarty posing tool most the time. A ratbike is also just a posing tool, but approaching it from the opposite end, and at least it suggests the owner has an imagination and not just a glitzy parts catalogue full of race cans and shiny bits and a cheque book.
