Roland Sands Sharpie 696 at Indy

[arai_speed]

if you ask me that looks stupid, but to each their own
same goes for a ruined lambo

I would take it a step further and say that it looks like crap.

Crap I tell ya!

That Lambo has clear vinyl over the sharpie so that it won't come off. They couldn't clear coat it because the paint would obviously ruin (clean the car), the Sharpie work.

I think it's cool.

Jeebus.  You can't win around here.      People get on your case if you do bolt-on mods, saying that there's no creativity and then someone does something like that and everyone rips it.

I think it's a great idea.  It's a reminder that you can customize your bike for next to no $ and make it something individual and something your own.  Do I care that it's Roland Sands?  Nope.  But he succeeded in mkaing an otherwise boring 696 a whole lot more interesting.

i think its cool,  to do all that shite freehand impresses the hell outta me, i know if i tried to do something similar it'd look like balls.  to me the rearsets look kinda like Satos...

I'm all for cheap mods, rattle can stuff, parts from other manufactures, etc.  This is just simply dumb in my opinion.  I'll ask it this way, would any of YOU do this to your bike if you had the "skills" this guy has?

Hell-it looks better than mine. I just throw dirt on mine and set it on fire.

Actually agree.  Sands doesn't do a whole lot that I like..not that I like the 696 or this design either..but he's going in a totally differnet direction here and still getting ripped on.

Hmmm..the design kind of reminds me of the Jordan Suzuki bike from a few years back.

I like it, it's all tatt'd up.

[Dareduc]

Probably got the idea from this car.....

I know that lambo... want to know that scary thing... that fool has his house (interior, little exterior) done up like that!
as for the bike... not something i would pay for... but i appreciate it.

I can't imagine Roland Sands being a sharpie artist, but I bet some of you might like it if someone with some real talent did it... but they didn't.  My bud is an incredible artist and he only uses sharpies... If they got someone who was really talented with a sharpie to do some artwork... now that is something I would like to see.  Ducati really likes Sands apparently...

Yup.

I would have been one of the detractors saying how stupid this was if I hadn't seen it in person. It does look pretty cool. I'd never do it to my bike, but it took a lot of effort and artistry to pull it off.

[TiNi]

i liked it too 

it was well done, and not a scribble job. i give it an A+

+1 what a joke. Looks like something a 2 year old did
