Artmageddon

Within Temptation and The Gathering.  both awesome female fronted bands.

Cool. I worked in the sign industry for 12 years and this was one of my tasks(I used to be the OR decal guy).

Just a heads up though. If you are planning are planning on selling logos like the Kawi and Duc, etc, just be aware that you are breaking numerous copyright and licensing laws. If you are doing stuff for yourself I don't think it is a big deal, but you need authorized permission to reproduce and sell stickers of logos. I see you are in Columbus, OSU is notorious for tracking down people for unauthorized reproductions. These companies are not going to spend millions on branding so anyone can use it, they also spend millions on lawyers to protect it.

So I guess be cautious about selling to people you may not know or anyone at all.

Buy borrow or steal two flat mover's dollies. They really come in handy more often than you think. I use mine quite often. Even just moving a couch around to rearrange can be an easy one person job with them.

here are some cheapies....

70 through the mountains in Colorado west of Denver is not a typical highway. It is actually a great ride. There is so much to see around you, it is actually nice to not have to always have complete concentration on a twisty road. As far as getting there, Nebraska and Iowa are a better ride than Kansas, but if you really want to swing south I suggest taking 40 to Albuquerque and then heading north on 25.

I have never taken that direct route, but 25 is one of the best highway rides I've ever been on south of Albuquerque along the Rio Grande. I would imagine north would be a decent ride as well. You would also get to see some Route 66 stuff that way.

You could even ride to Flagstaff and head north from there and then take 70 east through the Rockies. I rode 70 and 15 from Vegas and enjoyed it quite a bit.

i wish i could i love dc!!!! the only reason i posted is to say Artmageddon i love your bike!!!!

Thanks! I like it too.

I just moved to the DC area and was excited about it...until I learned I have to go back to Ohio for the weekend. I've heard it is pretty cool, I'm hoping next year.

Sweet, glad you guys are using this one. Did I give you the 5 cent ride artwork? That might be a cool one too down the road. Gray with black for sure.

my dad is looking for these, if bacchus doesn't buy let me know and i will tell him to get in touch with you.

Im not really a gun guy but support the right to carry, but also believe in leo safety. You did the right thing informing the officer you were carrying, perhaps it is Missouri procedure to hold the firearm until the stop is completed. no harm no foul, it wasnt like you needed it while pulled over anyway.

Im sure it is a safety rule for the officer, but what is fucked up is that the people with a ccw are generally law abiding citizens and quick to let an officer know they are armed for the leo's safety. it is the thugs carrying illegally that might be a danger to an leo, but of course they would never tell the officer and be armed for the entire stop. I assume you are a law abiding citizen; so don't stress about giving an officer a few minutes of stress free time when making a traffic stop. sucks you got a ticket, but don't speed and it wont be an issue.

It's too bad that spider didnt get Art front and center.

He'd be a Spartacus looking MoFugga for sure.

It's almost healed already, looks like a scrape that will barely be a scar. Must have given me super healing powers in addition to the power to shoot large wads of white goo.

Hey! did you pay the commercial rights to those photos?

I feel like we belong outside the city walls with the dogs to lick our wounds.

Nice. We should start the Blood and Pus show and go on tour.

But, yeah, you probably should see a doctor.

Wow, this is pretty tempting. I've done 5000 in 10 days easily twice now, and I was sight seeing. If I could find a sponsor to help defray some of the costs, I would consider this.

Look at some of the Kuryakyn ISO series items. I had the pegs and stirrups on my Shadow and they added quite a bit of comfort. They may make an engine guard as well.

Nothing beats floorboards for longs rides though.

Dremel for removal and screw-type master link. Worked great when I had my Honda, and cheap.

Good review of the screw type-

Looks pretty good. After a quick search appears to be priced about right as well in comparison with the Shadows.

It is fairly hard to go wrong with a Honda cruiser, they are pretty rock solid bikes.

I have PNC and I have never paid a fee for any of my several accounts with them. These are carryover accounts from National City, but I don't think they have fees on new accounts either. I don't think Chase has any fees as well.

A designer's opinion:

The orange and red one is the most unique and probably will have the most impact on memory retention for potential customers except for the colors. Orange and red are analogous colors(next to each other on the color wheel) and offer little contrast for legibility. Try some different color combinations and remember that color sets moods. Here is a quick primer for color moods: http://sbinformation.about.com/cs/advertising/a/colors.htm

My suggestion is crimson red on a white background with perhaps a hint of a navy blue for accents.

The tire is a little hard to make out, maybe because it appears to only be a rim and resembles a steering wheel. Perhaps redraw the tire or use something different in the mouth. The empty mouth looks off.

Overall, good job. The designer is good at drawing animals, much better than I would have done with the character. Glad you found someone.

As a former Shadow owner, you won't have any problems puttering around town on it.

I'm 5'10", #190 and the bike never felt small or lacked power for everyday riding.

2-Up or loaded with gear on the highway is the only time you will be lacking. I rode mine out west where there were higher speed limits and I would push the bike to its limits just to keep up.

Other than that, the Shadows are awesome bikes with a rock solid motor and very few mechanical issues, hard to go wrong with one. You may be able to find a cheaper VTX 1300 for not much more as well. These are also great bikes.

wow, that's a pretty sweet deal. I just sent the link to my niece who is graduating this spring.

This just might drag me out of hiding.

Good to know. The issue was with scratches, like from zippers and whatnot.

I don't hump the tank, so my zippers tend not to touch it.

I've been told by some Victory sales reps that that flat black finish is very sensitive and difficult to maintain. Looks cool as hell though. How is MSRP looking compared to the $18K Road King?

Unless Victory uses terrible paint, they told you wrong. My flat black Harley is super easy to maintain, and tends to stay fairly clean even in all the shit weather I ride in.

Ryan, I like, but that does that mean you have to re-do the garage?

DiCarlos on Main St in Hilliard. I bet it is different from most everything you have have had before.

You must have been on Cracked, I looked up these exact toys as well today.
