TY Hot Rod

Post by Starky »

The latest in the long line of restorations from the Maryborough Community. Here is a sneek preview of my TY175 tank back from the Paint Doctor today. Just need to put the rest of the bike under it now.

Scorps - look and drool. :P

Starky who is that naked blonde woman reflected in the TY tank in front of your reflection (and more importantly, what is she doing on your veranda?)

That is my beautiful body reflected in the tank just over the naked girl - do you like how I have described that. But my big question, 'how do you know that I took that picture on my veranda???' :shock: You have not been to my house or have you? :P

Not sure if I answered your question but the girl is from my own imagination. I drew her the Paint Doctor put her on the tank then I had to go there and help him make her as pretty as we could. I deliberately made her not as pretty as my wife. :wink:

#-o on second inspection I can see enough of the veranda in the reflection to give you that info. And I was beginning to think you and Helen have been up to something. :?

Hey PA,
Having carried the handle of 'Starky' for fifty five years - I have heard them all before, but I will pay that one - I haven't heard it for a few years now.

I wouldn't be putting fuel in that tank Starky-boy. I can see a "crack" in it!

When it comes to the "fairer sex" Starkster, I've always been a bit of an ass-man. I bet you sit there for hours looking at that tank and giving it a "polish".......
I'm looking forward to some "titilating" performances from you on this new machine. I't should keep you "abreast" of the competition. Nice to see a bike with its' own "rack".
Did you call it a "hot rod" because that's the emotion you experience when you look at that tank?
