You going to tuck it into bed and cuddle with it like Steding? I swear I saw a picture of their first night together where the scooter had a cigarette hanging out of its mouth. I thought this was a family-friendly website!

So imagine this, You're cruising along with your buddies when you notice two HID's off to your right. Then suddenly as if from out of nowhere, there's Bob and Doug cruising straight at us with their scooters! Doug buzzes by and I wave. :hello2: Then here he comes again.....on his side looking at me as if to say "Wheeeee! Look at me! Doesn't this look like fun? You know you want one!!" It was hard to tell but I think Bob had Perma Grin! I signalled to Joe to get some pics but alas they were gone as quickly as they appeared.

Since these are powder coated, you can get them redone in whatever color you like-and a powder coater might have fun putting the flames down.
My buddy has one in red, which looks wicked cool.

Good.

That is pretty far-out. Could you do it with the bubbles streaming down the sides, getting smaller as they go back to the prop? Something like the flames, but bubbles instead.spatman wrote:and i can't help but to fire up ye olde photoshop again:Fishstiq wrote:I can't help but wonder what it would look like "bubbled" instead of flamed?
Awesome.
thanks. that's pretty much what i originally had in mind, but since i'm not an illustrator, i can't make my own bubble image. so i had to make do with what i could find online. if you know of a good bubble image that matches that description, i might be able to make it work.dsteding wrote:That is pretty far-out.
