varkie2 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Best will probabaly be that i paint it also. As it will be too heavy to just move around to have painted elsewhere. Will a normal white metal paint do the job? Or can spray paint from brights? Then its from here straight to the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy duty enamel type will just last longer, before the bike starts to look weathered. (Remember this bike will sit in the elements 24 hours, 7 days a week). Time goes by quick and if it's done right, the bike wont go anywhere, so it's useful to have it look good for as long as it can, before someone needs to go out and do a touch up!

Allrounder Posted February 2, 2017 Share I got hold of shane. He will get concent from the family. Also arranged for a couple of motorbikes to "marshall" the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varkie2 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Just spoke to the Panel beater next door. He also offered to spray the bike. Let me know. Might look better iif he does it, we dont specialise in painting. Concrete and steel is our game. So that will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubehunter Posted February 2, 2017 Share Just spoke to the Panel beater next door. He also offered to spray the bike. Let me know. Excellent! This will usually be heavy duty stuff! Any chance the bike can be picked up post weld for this colour run and then dropped off for a cement treatment again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted February 2, 2017 Share Jip will return it.Do we have a date in mind for the memorial ride? You need to plan this around the bike being completed and ready to plant. The family still has to go through their formal arrangements. It's useful to do it a little while later and not when it's super fresh still. Step 1 - Get Ghost Bike doneStep 2 - Plant bikeStep 3 - Memorial ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should have a massive ride. The location also makes it possible to have two groups coming from both sides. one from Stellies side and another from Brackenfell.
