How about warbird themed motorcycle murals. These are off my 1988 GL1500 Goldwing. I have 2 sets of saddlebag lids. These are for shows.

this one is in honor of my friendCarl Schmieder, and based on a photo I took on Freedom Flight

Sorry Matt...but your mention of your Gold Wing brings to mind the joke that's popular among the H-D crowd.

How many times have you seen a crowd gathered around a Honda....
THAT WASN'T ON FIRE?

Mudge the ex-HOG driver :?

"Just funnin', son. Just funnin' ."

ps...anybody seen "Wild Hogs" yet. A FUNNY movie.

Thats right up there with....

Ask a HD mechanic where your HD is going to leak oil the most....
He is going to ask you where are you going to leave it the longest!


This is brought to you by a VW guy! :wink:

Mudge,
I see it everytime I park my Goldwing, people come over to look at the murals.

Mudge, you should recognize the helmet, it took me this long to get the poor thing to quite shaking after all the vibrations you put it thru on the Harley. I had to promise it a nice quiet, vibration free ride. I do think it goes very well with the new paint on the 1500, thx again.
Image

here are 2 of my Goldwings the red is a 2001 GL1800, the blue is a 1988 GL1500, both are first year of thier body style, I am the 2nd owner of both of them, and both were made in Feb of thier model yr. I did not plan that, it just happened.

Matt...I'm not surprised you had to wait for it to stop vibrating. That hat has a lot of H-D miles on it.

Mudge the ex-biker :oops:

As a kid my dad owned a Harly. My job every day was to change the kitty litter on the garage floor where he parked it. Every day. :roll:

If aircraft designers thought anything like HD's design dept we'd still be flying Wright Flyers....altho with the option of more weight in chrome every year until they became incapable of flight... or taxiing...

& how about this for a Warbird paint scheme....

Nice Murals!

The last paint job looks cool overall, but the dday stripes with early insigna screams "I don't really know anything about WWII aviation history". :lol:

I thought about getting that helmet too, but the art didn't seem to know what era it was trying to be.

It sucks being so picky sometimes. :lol: ;)
