Getting back on track for a second. I was in a buddy's shop and there was a new bonneville that had some Von dutch style pinstripes in the Gulf light blue and orange. It was a black bike to start with and to me it didn't look as good as I was hoping it would have looked.

In the interem however, I did come up with a neat idea for using those colors on a white base plus some grafitti art style stencils. If my life eve returns to normal and I get a moment I will show y'all what I am talking about.

If/when my RC51 gets tossed down the track I've been thinking about doing a Gulf paintjob on it. Can't say I've seen any bad versions

Yes I would ride a bike with Gulf colors. As you said it resembles a GT40. I would not ride it without the full race stickers though. I personally love the looks of a full decal race bike/car who give a crap what color it is as long as it goes fast.

That 911 is gorgeous!!!! Love that exhaust! I've never seen one like that, it looks like shorties but they look like theyre coming out of a muffler instead of the headers.

I guess I'm not the first to think of painting my bike in the Gulf livery. ;) I saw the second pic of Geetos one time and that sold me on it. I was obsessed with the 917 as a kid. Above is a painting I've been working on for awhile. I'm totally plagurizing another artist but since they never made print of it I decided to do my own on a 5'x4' canvas.
the other photo is obviously my other "project".

Should I paint my gs550 gulf colors when I tear it down, modify and rebuild it?
