Necroposting, I know... I haven't been painting for 3 years because I got my dream job and relocated. Now Im in a barndominium and will be slowly getting my studio set up. I paint just for fun. Heres some pics of the last one I did in 2023.

Just posting a few pics of my most recent helmet... Its number 19,and sadly the current one, number 20,will be my last for at least 18 months. Im moving to an apartment and wont be able to paint until I build a house. On the plus side, Ill be able to practice my striping and airbrush work.

I remember watching some old supercross from the early 80s,and the track went up to the top of the stadium, rode along the top wall behind the crowd, then back down. It wasn't the Coliseum or Silverdome. Anyone remember?

Hey guys, Im painting a Bradshaw replica from 1989 and I need to buy the proper Troy Lee Designs visor decals, or have them made if someone on here with a graphics company will do a small batch. The ones I need are the Script style TLD visor decals that are pink and blue with black outline. I'd also accept...

Where are the 10,000 graphics company owners when you need them!? Id gladly make a minimum order for the two designs if it were reasonable and good quality.

That'd be great as long as you didn't have to spend too much effort locating it.

Here are the decals I need... Preferably the ones that say Aero2, as those are period correct, but the Intrepid style would be great too.

This is not a fact. You are taxed based on where you earn that income. A Chicago based company does not clip their employees based in Texas for state income tax. If that Texas based employee was assigned a project in California, they are then assessed the California Tax. This is a fact. Real life.

Wrong. Im an airline pilot living in Oklahoma, working in Atlanta for a Minnesota company. I pay Oklahoma taxes. Although Ny state routinely tries to shake us down it never succeeds.

I'm not sure what to think about the stuff just from the eyeball test... I have massive respect for Pete, but not really grasping what Im seeing. If I want high tech gear, Id buy SEVEN. If I want badass clean gear, Id buy FASTHOUSE. Id just like to hear what the mission statement behind the designs is... For the...
