And flames!! Ok, I get it on a hot rod. They paint the flames behind the wheel wells to make it look like the car is burning out so hot flames come off the wheels. That I understand. I don't get painting your gas tank with flames. To me a burning gas tank can only be a bad thing, get a fire extinguisher.
zeus, you really need to think outside the box.

....... because the flame coming out of my fairing makes the general public think my motorcycle is much faster than it really is


..... this, however, is the real answer.

I prefer skulls with roses, but I'm a dirty hippie and like my women to smell like patchouli and onions.

If only I could afford one of Bad&G's custom engravings...

No, its skulls.

Also to answer your question with another question, why do people name their bikes? Because it's evil and/or cool?

'Art' doesnt usually come in plastic and from a Chinamart shelf.

And to answer...because it doesnt cost money to change or give it a name:P

If you have to decorate it with something, it's skulls and flames, or something like this --
