As you may recall from Crook 1.0, prepared for Aids Lifecycle 9, I finished off the build with a custom vinyl pin-up girl nose art, as is my style, with the help of the gang at Buzzy’s. They donated these, and much of our Team Lope vinyl graphics, in advance of the ride, and also did Ghostal’s custom skull stickers too.
When I built up Crook Type 3, after the ride, I knew I needed another pin-up girl, so i did a variant color scheme on Three-Pin Maria, which had been one of the two choices for the original application. I think with the color tweaks it worked out very well, despite what wifebot(tm) calls gacho-boots. She feels very strongly about footwear.
This time, to ease the labor burden on Buzzy’s I did the sticker trimming myself. It took awhile, but as an architect, i’m good with an XACTO so it got done. This is white background not clear applique so I had to be pretty precise.
One difference this time around is that I had the image done in mirror-images to better fit the bike, and I think it looks better than it did on Crook 1.0.
Gorgeous I says!
Thanks again to MJ at Buzzy’s Surf Shop!
