Painting new f6b

[53driver]

Right on my friend, I have 16 Grandkids ranging in age from 20 to 2 and their are all smarter than me with this "high tech" stuff...I guess I am still and "old school" guy and see no need for this fancy, expensive, and generally useless gadgets!!!

I find it kind of funny - I worked my entire life on high tech computer systems and I find most of the gadgets useless as well.

I too have a strong computer background.
Been building them since 1983.
Got a BS in "Computer Science" and an MS in "Information Systems Management."

What I tell people?
These gadgets are merely tools - NOT a lifestyle.
When people treat them as a "got-to-have-or-I'll-die" kinda thing, that is completely out of line with the intent of technology.
IMH(AWI)O.

Cheers,
Steve

Last year, I snapped this PIC of Opas Ride's F6B, hope this will do for now.

Taking this bike apart was crazy.

Hi Jim, how long did it take you to get all of those painted parts off of your bike? I want the blue color, but if it's too much of a hassle getting it apart and back together then forget it! Thanks!

I bet it took 3 days.

Exactly why I bought a bike with a color I was happy with right from the start. So I didn't have to spend the money on a paint job. Just buying something because its a good deal and having to live with a color your not liking doesn't work. When it comes right down too it, if your not happy with the color your not happy with the machine. You always take better care of something that your happy with. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of Chrome! But I fixed thatAttachment 25095

Seadog, with all due respect, I think the matte gray looks HORRIBLE with chrome. You've taken away the stealth factor and tried to turn it into a Harley.

Concur,. Example: I still work in I.T. and have a company issued I-Phone. Use it only for texting and phone calls. Nothing else. Am not interested in all of the other apps available for it. Have no personal cell at all...

It takes the better part of a day to get it all apart.
