HOG Column #3: Top Ten Reasons to Get Some Custom Paint on Your Motorcycle

Thundering Artwork
Ask Letterfly column #3

Sure, the delicate pinline designs, airbrushed depictions of surreal landscapes, tempting seductresses, frightening demons, flames of all kinds, intricate designs, the small cartoon images that hint about the personality of the owner and the lettered messages all add to the motorcycle experience but have you ever wondered why? Why get some personalized custom paint? I often ask such questions while I am painting at a motorcycle rally for one of my biker clients. I want to know about the aspect of my customer that wants to stand out and be noticed. The result of my inquiry has been hundreds of answers of which were entered into a special computer program that sorted them out and arranged them into a logical sequence on this list. For anyone considering custom paint for their bike, please enjoy.

TOP TEN REASONS
to get some custom paint on your motorcycle:

10) Passing truckers suddenly display their more feminine side.

9) Friendly waves from four wheelers now involve more than one finger.

8) State Troopers stare at your custom paint and not their radar.

7) Visits to the Harley dealer no longer result in you driving off with the wrong bike.

6) Wal-Mart gives you a percentage from the concessions they sell to the crowd gathered in the parking lot admiring your highly decorated motorcycle.

5) Your children no longer look at you as old fogey but dream of the day when they will inherit your scoot.

4) You hear words from the motorists containing more than four letters.

3) You don’t worry about losing weight for your high school reunion … You just show up with your motorcycle.

2) People actually fight to get behind you in the Granny lane.


... and the number one reason to get some custom paint on your motorcycle ...


1) You might get invited to appear on David Letterman!
