Now it matches my yellow '04F and my helmet - think people will be able to tell I'm a girl now?

I can't come up with an appropriately funny comment at the time, but I'm sure there is one out there for you.





However, it does look good.

I would love it to be, but alas, I stole it from a cartoon book...

But they're my own colors! :)

thank you.  

Can I ask you what brand Jacket that is?  and what kind of paint did you use?

I like the idea and it would make a great present for my wife..  I just bought her a bike, but she still don't know how to ride yet.
she dumped my bike last week :o

Sure - it's an Icon motorhead jacket (a men's one actually because my arms and torso are loooong)

The paint is industrial paint markers that draw on any surface and are guaranteed not to fade, run, etc. etc. they are really cheap to about $2 a stick! And I LOVE the smell of ethanol : )

That SUCKS about your bike - sorry :( It's good that she's learning to ride though - chicks on bikes are COOL! I have all sorts of info on drawing on things - that's what I do for fun :)

the bike is fine, its her I'm worried about.
Shes the type that didn't get a drivers licensce until 18yrs.
she doesn't ride roller coasters and can't watch a scary movie in the dark.

she can ride the bike, she's just scared of it.   I taught her how to dump the bike cause she kept trying to save it from hitting the ground. I'd rather the bike get scratched than her have a broken leg.

Thanks for the link,   :thumb: I will look into getting her a jacket and doing a custom design. she'll like that.

First time I got arrested was 11...  But, it had nothing to do with driving.   :laugh:

I rode a stolen scooter when I was 10 and I drove a few times when I was 14 and 15.  I moved out of my mom's house when I was 16 and didn't have any hopes of owning a car, so I didn't see the point of trying to get my license...  I bought a beater off a friend for $100 when I was 20 and taught myself to drive by driving around without a license for 6 months.  I passed the driving test by 1 point.  :laugh:
