Got a couple of motorcycle related things here I wanted to share with y'all.

First, I didn't get to talk with the owner because I work a 11p-7a shift, but a rider on a Honda Valkyrie 1800 had an old fashioned barrel modified to be a box for the trailer. I'm sure it's been done before, but this was the first time I've seen it done.

Second, in early March of this year, I saw where FA user Adjot posted this

"Template for everyone to use! There's no requirements or anything. Just open it up in your program of choice and color it!"

Having no artistic ability of my own, I commissioned FA user Faelis to fill it in with my fursona's details. This was the result

I've always been pleased with the result. An expression like that can be taken many different ways. And it suits me. Even when I was small, my parents would always know when I was up to something because I'd have a $%!# eating grin on my face.

I did have a 10in/25.4cm high sticker of the Misfits Crimson Ghost on my windscreen. I decided I wanted that grin image as a sticker on my windscreen. So I googled "custom vinyl stickers" and found 123stickers.com. I contacted them for a price explaining what I wanted and was assured that a custom printed image would hold up for 2-3 years under the conditions in which I would be putting the sticker. Two 10in/25.4cm high stickers with optional lamination and with shipping cost me $37.41 and they apparently decided to throw in two more at no additional charge.

This is the result

Here's how I applied it. Using a ruler and a pen, I made vertical lines on the backing 1in/2.54cm apart.I peeled the backing off to the center line and halved it with a pair of scissors. I cut it into strips, reapplying each strip as I did so. Repeat for the other half. I removed the Crimson Ghost sticker and gave the area a good cleaning with window cleaner and a paper towel. I peeled off the center strip, placed the sticker where I wanted it and made sure it was stuck evenly. Repeat for the other strips. Then I used window cleaner and a paper towel to give the sticker a good rubbing to make sure it was stuck as good as possible to my windscreen.
