sooooo, some may call me crazy and some may call me stupid.  i say im both.

i got some “extra” money from insurance so i bought my dad some real automotive paint for his moto.  i painted it years ago with flat black paint and a shitload of clear coat.  it turned out good and lasted a long time but it was looking worn so his bike was in need of a fresh paintjob.

we stuck with flat black but i bought the same brand as my flat orange.

this paint is awesome.  it doesnt need a clear coat and resists chemicals and UV rays.  and its cheap.

so the only problem is my dad lives in PA and i live in VA.  well i hoped on the bike friday (7-18) at 3pm and headed north… and west.  i made great time.  it only took me a little over 7 hours.

this was right before i left work.  i had a great trip home.  while i was on 17 i snapped a few pics…

i was bored… what can i say?

i woke up the next day pretty early and started tearing my dads bike down.  i borrowed my buddies spray gun and was pretty excited to try it out.  after i got everything tore down i layed it all out and started

painting.

it was coming a long nicely at that point.  only a few pieces to go on.  i also bought him a hard trunk and an extra seat so he can use it when he rides to and from work.  here is the final product.

so in under 24 hours i drove 400 miles to pa, tore my dads bike apart, painted it and put it back together.  i think i did pretty damn good.

the next day we headed out and my dad road back the whole way with me to va beach.  it was awesome yet again.  amazing… i love these trips.  i will remember them for the rest of my life.

my dads nuts.  he drove the whole way then slept until 6AM then headed another 6 hours back to bedford to his truck.

another successful trip, 850 miles in less then 48 hours.
