Had a spare set of fairings including tank kicking around and figured it,s time to paint them. Fancied something a bit retro, and altough it is completely un - Ducati or bike related i have started to lean towards this design. ( possibly swayed by my surname being Yardley) any of our older members remember these Mcclarens in the early 70,s ? so what do you think,.... neat or naff?
Yardley scheme works for me, depends how its applied though Blue n orange spotted at Assen - depends how its applied.... better on the Ford
I like the idea: sort of retro advertising for brands that have bitten the dust - excellent! I bet you could do a great Cornflakes bike with that chicken's head on it and "The best to you each morning" in script. I may have to look into that...
talking about retro advertising, here is todays useless piece of info,... Did you know that Salman Rushdie was the man responsible for the " A finger of fudge is just enough " jingle in the late 70s. (should have got a Fatwa for that one too!):biggrin:
A lot more accessible than his novels. I will admit to having The Satanic Verses since about 1989 and still not having read it.
I tried reading The Satanic Verses. Couldn't get past page 20. Boring. Back to the colour scheme.........I like the retro styling.
I remember those well and his fatal at Kyalami, sadly one of many at that time. I think it's a bit close to Repsol for my liking, but depends on the execution.
