    Total cash outlay $20.

    Gets complements everywhere I go. Everyone from little kids to dudes on chromed out 'busas and full dresser Harleys.

    What I started with.

    Moooo.

    Done

    Not a huge fan of breaking up an already hard-to-see-motorcycle's outline, but it's certainly cool.

    If you like it more power to you. I had my fill of camo. I prefer brighter colors on motorcycles. I want to be seen.

    I think it looks badass. I am with Kia though on wanting to be seen though.

    At first I didn't like it, but it grew on me. I like that its all matte right? Better in person I'm sure. Definitely did not like the Moo version though

    Mmmm chocolate milk

    Got matching leathers?

    I have an Icon jacket that has camo on it, so I rock that with the bike.

    Its somewhat matte. The black is semigloss, the vinyl is as glossy as non-cleared-over vinyl gets. If I get bullish and decide I like it, I will satin clear over the top.

    As far as not being seen, its not like a bike is super visible anyway. I hope my dual 6000K HIDs provide enough visual from the front, and from the sides its tough to miss the 6'2" tall, 290 lb dude with the bright red/green/orange/yellow/blue helmet on the rocket.

    There was a guy running around mid 90's with a black and white spotted KZ 1000 with Cow-a-saki painted on the side...

    Holy E36 M3! Did I see that last night at 2Wheel Tuesday at Culver's in Brookfield? I saw a dude wearing an old GRM T-shirt, too.

    You most certainly did. I was there with some of my friends from Crookfield.

    I live about 5 minutes away from there out on the Menomonee River Parkway. I was wearing my UW-Platteville Hockey shirt.

    Needs a big red number on it like a Russian Mig 29 or a Su-27...
