Thoughts on new colour scheme for the racebike?

Post by PirateJafa »

I made the mistake of mentioning to my friend that I was thinking about a KillBill colour-scheme for the race viffer, with an offset pair of racing stripes.

Unfortunately she then hopped on Photoshop and whipped this up from a old picture of the bike in the pits, and I think that with potential like this I'm now going to be forced to paint it.

Thoughts? The yellow ain't over-the-top is it? ;)

There'll be a few shop stickers on the bike, but don't plan to make them the focus off the bike, like a lot of people do.

Skull has to stay, I'm a pirate after all. But t'will be a simpler design, as it will be an applied vinyl. (No point spending too much money on the bike that could otherwise be spent on tyres and would be lost when I next stack it anyway :cry: ).
