(Apologies for its dirty condition in the photos, but as great as it rides, it gets ridden far more than it gets bathed!)

My lord...

...those Land Shark paint jobs.

yeah, i know,...

only problem with it is the paint is so much fun, few people get past it to realize what a great bike it is underneath.

sorta' like a Ninja assassin in a Jesters costume,...? ;-)

YES

YES YES YES...it's like trapper keeper on wheels! So Good.

thanks,

thanks, i think,... ;-)

Beautiful!!!

Beautiful!!!

thanks!

thanks!
when i first saw the jersey that inspired it, the first thing i thought was "wouldn't this make an awesome paint job on that Land Shark i want?".
although John and i had some differences of opinion on how exactly it should look, it wouldn't have been possible without John Slawtas execution of the idea and i'm really very happy with how it turned out.
