Finally got my tank and mudguard back from the painters after my wife reversed into the bike. I miss the old burgundy and white colours as I had a T140 in 1979 the same colour, but I'm really pleased with the new look. Paint was done by Terry Potter at Precision Mcycle Paint in Nth Crawley, near Newport Pagnall, I recommend him. Terry also chopped down the mudguard a bit, not enough to make it useless, but so it gives a cleaner line. Haven't ridden it in 2 months. Happy days.
Life was fraught for a day or 2 afterwards, but you have to have a sense of humour! No idea what blue it is, just picked it out from paint pots available, but you are right, it is like that Tahiti blue colour. I agree about the chrome. The original paintwork was an 8 ball custom one which I really liked but the plainer blue is better with the chrome cases. Cheers all.
Tony G Looks great. And that's life sometimes we all have accidents. Your poor wife must have felt really bad. Regards Joe.
Thanks. Simply because it took almost 2 months to get the tank painted after the wife knocked the bike over. The guy I took it to was snowed under with work, but I'm glad I waited as I do really like the job he did.
