British Motorcycle Owners Club Display 2011

This was the BMOC display at the Vancouver International Motorrcycle Show this year.  I am a member of the club, and it was my job this year to paint the sign used in the recreation of the 1960's era Ace Cafe.  The theme of the display was the cafe racer, and many execellent bikes were included in the display.  These were all BMOC member bikes, with the exception of the 2011 Norton. I was quite happy with the way the sign turned out, as well as the airbrushed brickwork.

Racing Action at the 2011 Vancouver Motorcycle Show!

There was racing again this year at the show.  All sorts of bikes were on hand to tackle the track, from vintage British cafe racers to 1970's Yamaha XT dirtbikes.  Providing the musical backdrop was the local sickle band The Vicious Cycles.

New 2011 Norton at the Motorcycle Show

Here is the brand new 2011 Norton Roadster at the British Motorcycle Owner's Club booth.  Nice bike.  Wish I could afford one!

Do You Ever Get Tired of Looking At Something For Too Long?

I got tired of looking at this green helmet I painted awhile back so I decided to add some 1-Shot Sublime Green stripes to it to liven it up a bit.

This beautiful bike was displayed at the Trev Deeley Museum during their British motorcycle exhibition.

Shop stickers; everyone needs them!

Coca-Cola Vendo 44 Finished.

And this is how the Coca-Cola Vendo 44 pop machine turned out.

Another Coca-Cola Vendo 44 Restoration Project.

This was another Coca-Cola Vendo 44 before I painted and lettered it. These are always fun and rewarding to do, as they turn out quite well when they're finished.

Vintage Coca-Cola Cooler.

This was another vintage Coca-Cola cooler I lettered awhile back. This was a small picnic cooler that needed re-lettering.

Triumph X75 Hurricane

This is the Craig Vetter designed Triumph X75 Hurricane.  This one was at the local Trev Deeley Motorcycle Museum a short while back.  I always liked the looks of the bike.

1982 Honda XR 200

I decided to get back into dirtbiking, and what better bush beater than an old XR?

"El Burro Azul" Custom Honda C70

Here is a set of side panels, fenders, and assorted body pieces for a custom Honda C70 that I painted and pinstriped.

The Original Wild One.

Here my dad is reliving his two-wheeled past on board my old Yamaha YL-1.

1984 Honda C70 Frame.

This is a 1984 Honda C7o frame I recently painted in Nason Ful-Cryl acrylic enamel.  The blue has a mild metalflake finish and is super easy to work with.
