    Looks great. I'd clone out that reflector in back. Just doesn't belong amidst all that shadow if you ask me.

    Thanks, Sword and Scales. I think that is the cover for the hot rear mufflers. I'll probably tone it down so it won't look too bright. Good suggestion and I thank you for that. :Dthumb.gif

    Nice shot, Jiro. I think what he meant was to clone out the rear red reflector...not the exhaust guard. That little red dot sticking out beyond anything else is a bit distracting....but a small nit to an otherwise very good picture.

    Take care my friend,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Ahh... the small rear turning light signal. OK, I'll make another edit. :Dthumb.gif

    Even though my toys are a little bigger, I can appreciate toys :D

    I see the rear turn signal is bent lol. On all of my maisto toy bikes, I do a "rear fender delete". It's a common mod on actual motorcycles (like my real bike) and easy to do with these small toys. Usually there's one screw to remove to take the fender/signals off. It'll help the bike look "cleaner" :D

    That looks freakin' awesome, Wally! Sorry for the bent rear turn signal. I did not notice it right away. Here's the corrected version:

    Laughing.gif. No need to apologize Jiro (Willie? lol) :P

    I just spend a lot of time around bikes (and commute on one everyday to work) so it's a kind of love for me :D

    The shot from above would be my next experiment. I need to find bigger white reflectors for that one. :Dthumb.gif

    It was the same with me 4 years back. I used to travel 50 miles everyday rain or shine on a 250CC RR bike and I do miss riding one not to mention the everyday thrill of street racing on every stop sign going to a straight narrow road with pedestrian, vendors, and cars involved. :D

    ... and here is the last shot to complete the series. For a change, I decided to use a white background on this one.
