WRECK


On September 12, 2002, I was involved in a motorcycle accident. Here are some photos of the damage and the great paint job by my brother, Chuck.

There is quite a bit of damage to the handlebars, controls, tank, front fender, horn, primary cover (not shown), derby cover, and signals. 

This dent is the result of 600+ pounds of bike landing on my left leg. My knee fits in the dent perfectly. The smaller dent is from the handlebar.

A new tank is sanded and prepped.

 

After the base coat, the flames are laid out in chalk.

 

After masking off the flames that will keep the original teal blue color, the silver is shot.

Due to the lights this photo looks darker. The true color is the one above.

Front and rear fenders prepped for painting.

 

Flames are laid out in small tape to view the overall design itself. This is done before it is painted to ensure a good design. It is then ready to mask off and paint.

Here is the rear fender and tank.

Another angle. The front fender is in the background and needs flames and paint.
