AKRefugee Posted October 9, 2014 #1 Posted October 9, 2014 . . . that Blue was the fastest color and I know that Yammer Dan would NEVER mislead me on something as important as that. I have always wanted to do an Alaska themed bike but didn't want to be like everyone else and airbrush it. Never being one to follow the crowd I took a different approach and using Alaska native art created stencils. I then used the stencils for painting the artwork on. No, I did not shoot the paint myself (although that would have been funny as all get out to see). Oh yeah, the colors? Why BLUE and gold of course, the same as the Alaska state flag. Now I sure hope Yammer Dan was right about that blue thing. What you think?
Flyinfool Posted October 9, 2014 #2 Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. But did you know that a deer walked across the wet paint on your left saddle bag lid......
slowrollwv Posted October 9, 2014 #3 Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. Blue and Gold, I have been seeing those colors since grade school.
Skid Posted October 9, 2014 #4 Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. But did you know that a deer walked across the wet paint on your left saddle bag lid...... Deer? You must have big deer up north, it look more like bear tracks to me.
Flyinfool Posted October 9, 2014 #5 Posted October 9, 2014 Deer? You must have big deer up north, it look more like bear tracks to me. No it was a small bear that walked across the right saddle bag....... The deer are on the left. probably hiding from the bear.....
AKRefugee Posted October 9, 2014 Author #6 Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good. But did you know that a deer walked across the wet paint on your left saddle bag lid...... Remind me not to ask you to go track a moose. You'll set me up to shoot one of them tiny things and I'll get in trouble for shooting a moose calf.
cowpuc Posted October 9, 2014 #7 Posted October 9, 2014 GORGEOUS COLOR!! Very very nice scheme too!! I gotta ask,,, what are those black things attached to the trunk?? Cant possibly be rod holders for trolling for Sockeye Salmon can they?? Also,,, I cant speak for Yammer Dan and wouldnt even attempt to but,,, my money is on his reply when he reads this thread is gonna be something like "the Blue Is Fastest statement only applies to 1st Gens,, if we are talking 2nd Gens the fastest happens to be Silver in color".. :rotf::rotf: VERY VERY NICE JOB AK!!
Holly Posted October 9, 2014 #9 Posted October 9, 2014 Looks good Kevin! Now we just get it out here to see it up close! Daryl
Money Venture Posted October 9, 2014 #11 Posted October 9, 2014 Of course Blue is the fastest, it is the same color as air so it slips through the air easier.
uncledj Posted October 9, 2014 #12 Posted October 9, 2014 My 87 is blue, and it IS the fastest color. Only problem is that I can't ride it at night......the headlight can't stay ahead of Ol' Blue. I do notice that I don't age when I let her kick up her heals....:rotf:
DragonRider Posted October 10, 2014 #13 Posted October 10, 2014 awesome!!!!! looks good. But did you know that a deer walked across the wet paint on your left saddle bag lid......
Yammer Dan Posted October 10, 2014 #15 Posted October 10, 2014 Out standing Kevin!!!! That looks great!! These guys are jealous cause they got all them Slow bikes!! I had Blue & Gold for school colors from Jr High up and they are the State Colors of West by God.
Jayceesfolly Posted October 10, 2014 #16 Posted October 10, 2014 I took this photo when the "blue is fastest rider" was resting between rides. Puc, he's not as fast as he thinks. LOL
cowpuc Posted October 10, 2014 #17 Posted October 10, 2014 Puc, he's not as fast as he thinks. LOL:rotf::rotf: We wont tell em though you guys,,,, as Jaycees pic seems to say - at times its best to just let sleeping dogs "lie" :rotf::cool10::rotf::rotf: poe Dan,,, poe poe Dan:backinmyday: I took this photo when the "blue is fastest rider" was resting between rides. :rotf::rotf::rotf:
Flyinfool Posted October 10, 2014 #19 Posted October 10, 2014 Remind me not to ask you to go track a moose. You'll set me up to shoot one of them tiny things and I'll get in trouble for shooting a moose calf. Moose are a lot bigger than that, that is the size of a medium 180-200lb deer up here...... But I think I might need some deer tracks for my bike......... I like it.
Beau-Kat Posted October 10, 2014 #20 Posted October 10, 2014 Looks good. Blue and Gold, I have been seeing those colors since grade school. Blue and Gold were our school's colors too.

MikeWa Posted October 11, 2014 #22 Posted October 11, 2014 Obviously cannot out run a bear. Mike PS. Very nice color scheme. Well done.
TDunc Posted October 11, 2014 #23 Posted October 11, 2014 I took this photo when the "blue is fastest rider" was resting between rides. OMG I could have gone all night without seeing that pic Dan!
Yammer Dan Posted October 14, 2014 #25 Posted October 14, 2014 I took this photo when the "blue is fastest rider" was resting between rides. I thought this was a G rated site!!! Better keep that pic out of sight!!!
