New Motorcycle

A friend bought me this wooden motorcycle at a local auction. I quite like it. The artist spent a lot of time on the little details like wheels that roll and a working sidestand. There are even little wooden spark plug wires. It appears to be made entirely of wood except the metal axels, steering head, and pivot for the sidestand. I put it in the living room, so I can see it more often.

Stickers!

What to do with all those stickers? Nearly every time I buy something motorcycle related, it comes with at least one sticker. As I was cleaning my office over this past rainy weekend, I found a massive pile of them.

I decided I want to do something with them. I don’t like putting stickers on my vehicles, and I didn’t want to toss them into the trash.

I found this 24”x36” poster frame in the back of my closet.

The combination seems pretty promising. With some help from my wife we put the stickers on the paper and came out with this:

We are both pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a great rainy day project. I was originally going to put it in the garage, but I’m liking it too much. It will go in my office instead.

We had too many Sidi stickers, so I didn’t use all of them. Each pair of my Sidi boots came with a full sheet of stickers. I find it interesting that nearly everything I have purchased has come with a sticker. Even my $8 grips did, but my $1000 road race leathers and the accompanying gloves didn’t. Strange.

There is a bit of white space left, so I guess I need to go buy more gear and farkles to fill it up!! :) :)
