So I've been wanting to change up the look of my bike for a bit. After going back and forth with some ideas I settled on a military tribute theme.

I never got to serve in the military because of knee/ankle hardware, but I do have a big appreciation for them. I have many friends that are veterans since I work in the fire service.

I went to my buddy who owns Squid Decals and this is what he came up with...I'm pretty pumped with how it came out!

Enjoy!

Shane

Thanks for putting this up ! My brother was in the national guard until this year glad he is out but also proud that he served! Also SWEET bike. If you don't have a bike check get one for sure and also you should put those pics in the kick ass 2 stroke thread!

I like it! It's different, clean and done with a purpose. And holy hell those ohlins forks and the FMF pipe are absolute eye candy.

Nobody is making you look at it. And when it's posted, it's usually because something has changed about the bike. I'll try not to clog up your vital feed any more though...

Good luck to you, sir.

Personally think it would look better with those graphics if it had a Black frame. That frame just doesn't seem to go with the camo orange, but I like how the graphics came out.

You should run the flag backgrounds for your numbers too that I have on mine. They look sweet.

The graphics look great, the wheels and triple clamps definitely look nice too!
Were those pics taken at Rocky Hill?

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoy it. And most of all, thanks for your service!

And yes, the pics were taken at Rocky Hill today. Track was muddy in spots and super rutted. Not great riding by any means unfortunately.

It's a MOTO site. We don't need "Easton's" to show off our stuff.

Nicely done, Shane! hell, I'd be afraid to get that dirty, or worse yet...bent.Laughing

Looks great dude!

Nice to see something other than a Red Bull KTM that looks great too... They're few and far between! I do love the team look but if you want to do something else i've not seen tons turn out great.

Good job!

Also. Damn you, Rocket and Digger on your Ohlins. Much jealous. Ok to admit it tho haha

It's just been redone, and also, there is always the option of not clicking, not commenting or not worrying about it. Seems a bunch of others are pretty happy to look at it!

Just STFU if you don't like it, no need to comment.

Beautiful bike, Shane! Thank you for your tribute, and this ole vet really appreciates it.

That's not a reason to be a dick about it.

Don't like his bike, don't like that it's been posted a lot, great... You're right, it's a forum, based on comments, from many people, who as you can see above, have obviously been happy to look and comment–positively. Some of them Vets no less!

If you don't fit in, don't feel the need to keep going. No one will mind if all you've got to add is crying about someone posting a badass bike!

So your last half dozen posts are contributing a point of view that clearly no one else agrees with.

I'd make an argument you're being a little much.
