To sticker or not. That is the Q.

I know there is a lot of disagreement on this. What is your opinion. Do you keep a Italian classic clean or sticker it to 'personilize' it?

I've stickered the eff out of my helmet. I'm going to get some 'leather' paint at the hobby store this weekend and gonna do some 'heavy metal' type artwork along with some 'factory' bike shit type artwork on my 'all black' leathers.

This fall, I'm gonna start collecting various stickers and sticking them on my bike 'ala' endorsement style.
I could care less if someone mocks me for doing it. I like art. I like making my stuff look different. Couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. ALTHOUGH....I'm not going to be doing it to be 'in your face'. I don't like having an attitude. I just want to do it to be different.


Art is art. 'Beauty'...is in the eye of the beholder.



Be different.

Aww Geez , hope we don't get all artsy fartsy round here , and start the disscussions about black or white being , a colour or being the lack of colour....

Or if a design brings out a certain emotion or is primitive....

If you have to ask if it looks alright ..and it is a deciding factor if you do it or not , well then just copy something ...

I have trouble making a complete circle , and am colour blind under certain lighting , so what do I know???

its totally a personal thing, like color, certain bling - whatever - i'd have 1 of each type of everything if i could. i bought mine already stickered and i like it cause its nicely done and totally one of a kind. I'd also love her if she were clean as a new bananna.... because u asked, you probably want to add stickers but don't want to be bashed for it - don't stress it - pick a nice kit and have fun.... its your baby....

I am in the middle of repainting. All of those stickers that the previous owner put on were less than pleasant to remove. Most chemicals just smear the adhesive. I say keep it clean or make a replica race bike, but your personal sticker collection belongs elsewhere. On my other bike I put the stickers inside the aluminum panniers.

it depends on how quirky you want your bike to look. Keep the stock stickers and forget any others.
