Time for a new paint job

#1 Post by paddyz1 » Thu Apr 23, 2009 8:17 pm

After seeing everyones bikes at the castlbarge meet i was a bit embarrased to have the rat of the pack (i should have covered it last winter)
Well I have been thinking of a respray for a while and was toying with the idea of black with an anodised frame. I dont think it is feasible and i do not want a black bike with a black frame (too much black).

So I have had other thoughts in my head for a while and they keep coming back. You will all shout at me except one person and his name is Yellowduck.

So you have guessed it by the obvious clue.

Yes I want to paint the falco in yellow, or more precise 'Scorched yellow' as in the same colour of the Triumph 675.
I want a full fairing and i want the lettering to be exactly like the 675 style which is white lettering and a black border. I want to have the aprilia lettering as exact as possible but in these colours. There is also going to be more carbon fibre, some decent levers and some new anodized bolts that won't bloody rust. All the go faster handle better goodies have been done so now it is time for cosmetics.



I will now run and duck for cover

Yellowduck.....Is there a ceremony that I have to go through to join the YFFF and do I have to prospect

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

I think you'll find the technical term for this colour is PUSS .........



..... Pete, through your contacts, can you find a good counselling service in the Liverpool area - one of our friends needs help.

i assume that in his dotage mr d-rider means pus but if he has a thing about cats... well

(And be very glad those of you who were not there when he showed us how to lick a pussy out - that poor tabby has never been the same since....)

:smt090

Spelling has never been my strongest point .... when faced with double letter uncertainty I tend to err on the side of generosity (that's the type of guy I am :smt047). ......... it doesn't always pay off .......

I guess your slightly disturbing cat fantasies that seem to be creeping through here are a sure sign that your mrs hasn't let you back into the house yet. :smt036
