Snaggletooth Posted April 25, 2011 #1 Posted April 25, 2011 I had bought a new helmet last fall and had it sitting on the bucket rack all winter. A friend and co-worker had seen it and asked me if I wanted my name on it. Sure, why not. Go for it. I knew he had done some pin stripeing and figured how much harm could he do. Oh, scratch that......dumb question. Dark thoughts there. But he came wandering in to work today carrying my helmet bag and grinning ear to ear. That was good to see 'cause I figured if he screwed it up he would be hiding from me. LOL! But I was more than a little surprised when I unzipped the bag and saw what he had done. Dang! Way past putting my name on it!!! Damn nice job in my eyes and he wouldn't take a dime for it. Pretty decent guy for all the razzing I give him about his bike. A Harley. Seems his hands quit shaking once he turns the bike off. Maybe I need to cut him some slack about his bike. Nah... no fun in that. I guess I'll have to force feed him a big ol' steak next time we ride out. A salute to "The Piper". Thanks my friend. The light in here wasn't the best today so the pics suffered a bit. Mike
Reddog170 Posted April 25, 2011 #2 Posted April 25, 2011 That is some very nice work. Great looking helmet. Shaun
Black Owl Posted April 25, 2011 #3 Posted April 25, 2011 Now that is a really nice job. My opinion. You definately owe him dinner at the very least.
bendtdj Posted April 25, 2011 #4 Posted April 25, 2011 WOW! That looks great! I wish I had some sort of talent. I need a ruler to draw a straight line. Even then it may not turn out how I want it. You do indeed owe him a steak. Dave
Hulign Posted April 25, 2011 #5 Posted April 25, 2011 That looks great....wish I had co-workers like that. Hell I wish I had co-workers Frank
bongobobny Posted April 25, 2011 #6 Posted April 25, 2011 Fantastic!!! Now if he had done it in the colors of your bike...
Marcarl Posted April 25, 2011 #7 Posted April 25, 2011 Glad my helmet don't look like that,,,,,,,,,, it would make 2 the same and yours wouldn't be unique,,,,, and it's nice,,, real nice, and he got a chance to get his name out,,, good job!
RedRider Posted April 25, 2011 #8 Posted April 25, 2011 You should ask him if he wants to make some $$ and have him come to Freebirds MD (with permission from Don, of course). Looks great. RR
Freebird Posted April 26, 2011 #9 Posted April 26, 2011 Probably not. First of all, it is a LONG way if he lives in Nebraska. Secondly, we already have a pinstriper did a great job last year and is coming again this year. I think one is enough. It does look great though.

I need some touch-up work done on mine.
bryan52577 Posted April 26, 2011 #11 Posted April 26, 2011 Darn, real good job! Does he do bikes too? Does he have a shop? Bryan
Hulign Posted April 26, 2011 #12 Posted April 26, 2011 Funny cause Omaha isn't far and I have a brand new untouched helmet on the way
Snaggletooth Posted April 26, 2011 Author #14 Posted April 26, 2011 I saw some pics of different bikes and helmets he has done. Pretty nice looking stuff. Da old boy has talent for sure. He's been doing it for quite a few years. He works at his home but does not have a shop. Bryan and Hulign....if you guys want his number PM me and I'll shoot it over to ya and you can touch base with him if you're interested in getting something done. Mike
