That growth thing? Lol. I totally agree!
Nothing gets past this crew.
And yes, that gap is for the keyhole Don.
I'm not sure what the paint job is going to look like either. I gave a healthy dose of license to Jaxon.
If you have ever seen his Custom Chopper work, he has access to some world class artists. However, this will NOT be a dragon or skull or pirate theme. Lol
Honestly, this all started when I ordered a new helmet and when it came in and I took it out of the box, I went gaga over it. It's an Italian paint scheme that struck my fancy.
I made the mistake of sharing my passion for the helmet with Jaxon. One thing led to another.........
I dropped my bike off with instructions to "Don't paint it to match the helmet, but instead, paint the bike to make it look like the helmet was painted to match it"
I know that sounds like the same thing.......but it's not. And I think the painter understood.
While the bike was there at Jaxon's, I requested to have my Ohlins sent off for a refresh. Front and rear.
Again....one thing led........
It's been a few MONTHS. Jaxon has been let loose. I told him I wanted my Super Tenere to be his interpretation of what I would consider the completed version of the RTW bike those 2 funny guys SHOULD have done their documentary with.
I would elaborate what MY vision of that was and what I would address to accomplish that.
Then he would go TIG on it.
The Romney trip will be my first chance to ride my bike. I really miss it. I want it back! I've had some fun riding other bikes while I wait. (and yes, some Orange stuff)
But my Tenere is my ultimate bike. Has been since day 1 of having it. I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it even more.
My only concern is Jaxon is gonna expect me to keep it clean. The crud and corrosion on it just drove him nuts. He addressed 99% of it. (He keeps his stuff immaculate)
I make no promises, except to get it good and filthy. And provide it a few opportunities to test its crashworthiness.
