The paint is mind-boggling!

duneseven · 01-17-2010, 11:20 AM

Nice! but not my style

cactusjack · 01-17-2010, 11:34 AM

Phenomenal paint job! Too bad it never really got ridden. Motorcycles are meant to be ridden!

mikey911s · 01-17-2010, 12:52 PM

Very nice paint! Since I airbrush some, I know the whole bike's paint job reads like an Ed Hubbs tutorial of techniques. Either this guy or the actual airbrush artist did a fantastic job of blending a myriad of Hubbs's styles into this one project. It's really amazing.

Looks are nice but miles are better. I take dang good care of my steed but she belongs out on the road and not in the barn.

tazfl · 01-17-2010, 02:32 PM

thats a pretty sweet nomad, definitly low miles. maybe i overlooked it but i didn't see a price listed?

rickyboy · 01-17-2010, 03:29 PM

very nice but like Duneseven said "not my style". I wouldn't mind adding some paint to "Nan" one day, but nothing of that caliber.

**ringadingh** · 01-17-2010, 03:41 PM

Its not my style either, but somebody will appreciate for sure.

**Jared** · 01-17-2010, 09:35 PM

Some one put a lot of money into that bike to only ride it 2-3 tank fulls a year.

Although I can appreciate the work that's been done to it, I wouldn't want it. I'd rather have a newer bike with more mile than an older bike with next to no miles. jmho

I re-read the info and it sounded familiar. If it's who I think it is, I met the owner at a VROC bike night a year or so ago. I have seen this bike in person. I think the guy told me he bought the bike from a guy who bought it and became really sick (cancer) and couldn't ride it. So he sold it when it was like 6 years old with something like 100 miles on it. All the seals in the thing were shot from sitting in the desert heat for that long, so the new owner paid $$ to have the bike gone through and then a bundle more getting it painted.

**glwilson** · 01-18-2010, 04:11 PM

While I agree with some... it isn't my style... but the skill on paint job is quite impressive.

For $7,500; it could be a good ride for the right person.

However... all I can think of is all the bugs in my area that would get swallowed-up in that breather.

Sometimes less is better. This custom in my opinion is to busy, to much to comprehend . A lot of talent in that paint job, but I'd be afraid to ride it. You could never fix it if something ever happed to it. Personally , I like Utah's bike better. Keep up the good work Utah. Sometimes less is better. Don't let it become messy....
My opinion , maybe my opinion only, maybe?
