Nice airbrush work, your own? The TDM is much underrated I think.

[daveb]

yep the airbrushing is my own work, I only spray stuff for a hobby. A lot of my work is on my photos in Facebook.

The TDM is Yamaha's best kept secrect, 5 valves per cylinder loads of torque.

The only reason I changed was I wanted something newer, found a few TDM9 but thery were too far to travel in the uk.

The Tiger came into my dealer on Wednesday I rode home on it on the Friday. too much of an opertunity to leave there. 3 yr old machine with less milage than I cover in 1 yr commuting.

The Tiger handles alot better than my old machine due to it being newish

ah ha, I see, it prowls the tar mac.

you should see my kids skateboards I also painted... Nothing is safe now.



I bought new grip tape

Ditto on the airbrushing, real nice!

Let me ask though, the grey frame colour on your Tiger is that standard colour?  The reason I ask is because I also have a Black Tiger and my frame is Black, mines a 2000 885i, does that make the difference?

I think I prefer the gray myself

I believe mine is a 2006 model 955i registered in March 2007,
As I working in automotive traditionally, vehiclwe manufactures make subtle changes every 2 to 3 years.
The only thing is wish the case wheels were black as they are a pain to keep clean.

Thanks guys for the appreciation of my hobby

The grim reaper is a hero of mine, it is a happy airbrush topic, one of the guys I know asks the same question when am I going to paint flowers, it did suggest I could paint flowers with a tombstone behind them.

I havn't painted for a while its been too hot in my studio (loft) to paint, been down the beach most evenings instead.

To be serious Monk I need an idea to paint,....... how about a monk, I could paint a monk, couldn't I....wait just getting an idea....a monks rode with no face just a skull.....

Just a thought,,,, can you do "Clangers"?  you know, whistling knitted puppets....

My wife has wanted a Clangers design on her helmet for years.

and sorry for the hijack....

[Sin_Tiger]

Tiny Clanger on the back of your bike  :lol:  that would be brilliant.

Just thought you could get your own lid done with a Soup Dragon design

I will have to google 'clangers' they were out in the early 70's.

I will see what I can find,
