Hi Bill.

yes, Billy Jay has been painting and hand striping BMW's in this area since before I bought my R65!

He repaired my leg shields and repainted them, as well.  Freaking gorgeous!  He now has my Honda CB200 tank.  It has a large, shallow dent in it.  I am just having him remove the dent, for now.  When that project is complete I will have him do the paint, if I am still gainfully employed.

I have started tearing into the Honda a little bit.  I guess this will just be a summer in the garage.


I wonder, if I got my replacement frame painted, if that would inspire me?

Yes.  Or maybe a ride on another R65, to get you hungry for that again.

I have actually ridden the current incarnation around the park a few times, trying to sort out the tuning, but I had to quit because I knew that clutch arm was not happy hitting the frame.

Actually I am feeling very vulnerable.  I hope to find some nice armored gloves for the future.
