Title: Teddy owes me a quarter
Post by: eltristo on June 22, 2008, 09:40:33 PM
I cleaned the bike.  First time ever.  It's not perfect, but I don't think it could go from it's prior level of filth straight to shiny.  The maths would not allow it.

Tank and frame aren't filthy

I'd like my winnings cash money, if you please.  [laugh]

Wow, imageshack sucks!  The first picture is hosted at Tinypic, but the site stopped working properly.  The next three are imageshack.  Crapola.

Looks good man.  But it is a dark, so shouldn't be too shiny...  ;)

I missed more than a few parts, but it is better than before.  Now if I can just bring myself to go over it again, it might actually look good.

When did a Dark come with a gloss black tank?

I suppose that was when the previous owner had the tank repainted.  He asked for it to stay dark, and that's what he got.   :P
