why is crutchlow not on a factory ride? i feel like he does pretty damn well most races and is up there with the factory bikes on a satellite ride. he is by far the fastest non-factory guy out there.

that is what i was hoping to hear honestly. i think i will swing by there this weekend with a couple images and see what they can do

Also, I looked into all the recommended shops by you guys but found this place very close to me. Has great reviews and the owners portfolio looks amazing! Anyone heard of this place? http://www.empire-ink.com/live/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=93&Itemid=136 Here is the owners portfolio https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150108122297977.275256.172085922976&type=3 there are also some other artists on there that have excellent looking work. the main thing i am looking at is how their black and greys turn out and the blotchyness etc.

Haha people do that? Test tattoos on other people? also, can anyone identify the helmet he is wearing in the picture? i am trying to find higher res actual photos to bring in to supplement the blurry logos and whatnot of the drawing

That's what I'm afraid of most is looking in the mirror after its done and not being happy with it at all. It being distorted or just looking blotchy etc

Thanks jinu! You're the man! And thanks for pointing out the fresh tattoo thing. Didn't think about that, which is probably why some of the work looked so vivid with the blacks.

That's for the help fellas. I'm going to go check out some of the shops posted in here. I saw some that had really good looking black and white with the dark deep blacks and not blotchy. I'll probably go there first.

Ok cool so if I can't find a bigger copy it will still be Ok for the artist to use?

I cant find any form of email on his website, do you know how I can send him some pictures and ask him some questions? I really like his black and white, nice deep solid blacks which is really what I need. The only issue is the picture I posted on my OP is the biggest picture I can find... Does anyone know of a copy of this picture that is larger and higher resolution? Otherwise this is all I have to go off of.

If I were to get it on my shoulder blade area, what size would you think k would be appropriate? I don't want it huge but I don't want it tiny either...

I was thinking shoulder blade area? Not sure how big yet. I just don't want to go to a shitty artist and have it come out like some of those horror portraits I've seen

I am thinking of getting this as a tattoo but my concern is it coming out not looking like shit since it is a detailed image. To those that have gotten tattoos, do you know of anyone that is capable of a tattoo like this? Or maybe I could make a few changes to it so it is easier to tattoo?

i am going to cota motogp this year and could care less about all this drama honestly. all i want to do is watch the race

he never even called me or told me anything yet. i am still officially novice. i hear alot from others, but until i hear it from him i can't say anything is for certain.

this puts a smile on my face. most people think once it gets really competitive that the fun stops, and it makes me very glad to hear you are having a blast out there

T3 can sucked my balls I hate that turn (both ways)

and what time does it typically get dark in early may and they call it a night?

ive never done a friday evening nelson practice before. anyone know what the times are for it when it starts/ends?

I had one of my contacts fly out last season during a race. Went 3/4 of the race near blind in one eye. It sucked. The worst time is braking after a straight when you pop up. That's when all the wind comes under the helmet and pulls your contacts out.

ill bring both of you up so that way i won't be so lonely in the back lol

im gonna convince todd to bump you up too

is a repave at nelson even a remote possibility in any of our lifetimes? lol

i hear the wera grids are shrinking as well, while the ms grids are growing

where did you see this?

I bought my first track bike with no title. In fact it didn't even have a VIN but that was because it had a factory blank frame (much cheaper than a titled frame). I had no issues with it, but looking back I would not risk it again. I'll probably buy titled bikes only now.
