Actually, I call it Mardy.  5 years ago, this 6,000 mile bike was in my shop when a fire broke out.  It was sooty, rusty, and just plain nasty.  I nearly put it on the curb for the garbage man.  Fortunately, what little bit of conscience I have wouldn't let me do it.

I documented most of the build here in another thread.  Many, many, many thanks to all those who answered my questions and gave advice.  Even more credit to Mark for reviving 2 Stroke World so we all have a place to keep these old zingers running.

The paint is Krylon rattle can with 2K clear.  Turned out as well as I could have hoped.  It could use a wet sand and polish (a tiny bit of orange peel) but from 5 feet away it's shiny and gorgeous.

Top color and decal choice and I really dig the oil drool down the head pipes.  Might as well show that off as far as I'm concerned. So good coating choice on the pipes too  :thumbs:
