Finally!! I have been working on my shadow from the moment I brought it home in Jan. I converted my front entry way and storage room into a very cramped auto body and mechanics shop. After adding all the aftermarket parts I figured it was time to rid the bike of it's stock pearl white and transform it to a Gun Metal Black!! I did it all with spray bomb which was kinda stressfull as I had now idea of how it would turn out but I couldn't be happier. I think the entire paint job cost me less then $75.00. I had trouble uploading my pics so here is a link!!

Thanks Boss! I actually used a paint stripper and a razor blade instead of sanding the sticker off. Saved myself a ton of time!

Ya that's me! How'd you manage to get to that? That's a web site that I have been working on for years. Really outta date.

Anyways looks like I won't be bringing the bike out to Vic as my bro is already using his trailor but I might borrow my buds Screaming eagle so we can go for a ride. How's the weather been?

Simple, just take off the last part of your link. I always do that, you never know where it'll lead you.
Weather's been good to date. About 12*C today so not the warmest it's been. Supposed to start raining this weekend and then mix sun and cloud for all of next week, but temps from 10-15*C.
Fill up before you get here though, gas is at 94.9 cents a litre now out here. Let me know when you'll be out here and we can try and hook up for a drink at least.
