Helmets of the Dixie Roundup! (Part 1 of a bunch...)

Our helmets show people a little bit of what we're into. We all try to do something unique with our lid. We'd rather not wear them, but around here that's not an option. I was digging through the bike pics and realized that I had some decent views of people's helmets. I decided that it might be interesting to crop in on the helmets and feature a bunch of them on here. I have about 15 or so good shots, so I'll spread them out over a few days. Here is the first installment....

A variation of the classic American Flag helmet.

2 for one in this shot.

Nice clean blue metalflake with some cool pinstripes thrown in for fun.

Plain brown helmet with some stickers thrown on to get the message across.

White stripes on a flat black helmet. No frills, just cool.

Spenser's Tank Is DONE!

Once again Shane has outdone himself! He says this is the most intricate tank he has painted and I believe him. It's certainly the best one Ive seen from him. Each blue panel has a different design/effect done inside of it and the colors really pop in person. The masking and layers are really smooth and slick and it still amazes me that he just recently started painting. Shane is a consummate artist and it shows in everything I've seen from him so far from tattoo's to leather to metalflake paint, he is an artist.

Top. I like the airbrushed lens flares, they give it an old style look like what I used to see on the custom cars and bikes I saw when I was a kid.

The front shows more of that detail.

This side is amazing to me, to get all those lines to repeat evenly across the entire panel is mind blowing to me.

Love the pattern on this side as well. MANY hours were spent just on the masking alone of this project.

And just to make it even more unique this little scene is hidden on the bottom of the tank. Gotta love it when an artist goes to the extra effort for something like this that will not be seen by 98% of the people who see this bike.

I'll post some more pics of the finished bike later this week so come back to see the rest of the story....
