Very Nice Machine Rick Wittridge ... and a very good interview too .!! Thank you .
As a Motorcycle Guy you will like this story ..... around 1977 I painted an original Chopper Motorcycle for a fella named Mike Gumowski .... Chrome Forks a mile long ... the only thing I had to paint was the frame , gas tank and rear fender ... and the owner chose a very unusual color .... Jon Kosmoski House of Colors Candy Apple Green over a Silver Basecoat
To my surprise it turned out beautiful ... until then I had never cared much for the color green ... it looked just like the color of your Gyro and now I love that color !!!!
He also wanted an airbrush mural of "Makin Bacon" on the tank .... it turned out pretty good too
The Machine you built is a work of art .
