2011 Spyderfest US winning paint job.

[Blue Star]

Why is it all you (old) people don't like skulls...hey maybe it should have been a spider on the rear fender not likely. When it comes to real fire paint jobs I think Skulls are truly the best option. I have over 1000 skulls yes you read that right over 1000 skulls on my rt limited and I love it. If we who customize our Spyder left them alone like all you OLD people they would be pretty boring machines right. Instead of bashing someones great art work just say hey its cool and move on. I have never met Danny Ferris but like Danny im an artist as well and we do what we like. I think this is an amazing paint job the flames blend in perfectly with the color of the bike. Maybe some of you old-timers should get a sense of creativity and live a little it will be good for your blood pressure:roflblack::roflblack: . And this post goes out to those of you who were bashing my bike at the owners event :roflblack::roflblack: don't worry at least I got you talking about the Spyder.

You answered you own question. You like skulls, and some do not. I do not like them simple as that. I don't think age has anything to do with liking something or not, as it comes down to personal tastes. If you look at other Spyders that have been customized you might be surprised at the age of those that did some custom work. I have done some customization to my Spyder, but not as much as some. If everyone liked only skulls on their Spyders then they would all be the same again. By the way, I don't have any spiders on my Spyder either.

:agree: other wise nice looking paint job.

If you read my post (maybe you did not direct your post to me) I did say it is a "nice looking paint job".

You like em, I don't. Just not my cup o tea. Didn't care for them when I was younger either so you slur was uncalled for.

:agree: Is being young an excuse to be rude?

I never liked skulls... they represent something I'd rather not be associated with.

Don't like spiders either. They give me the creeps. :spyder::shocked:

Kinda. They get to be rude and we get to say "damn kids."

WOW, can't wait!

WOW, now I am SUPER excited to see what Danny can do to my Spyder! My wife Lori won the Custom Paint prize at this years Spyderfest (and since she doesn't have her own Spyder....It's a win for me too).
I am in the process of acquiring the few pieces of Tupperware i still am lacking so I will have two complete sets, one so I can ryde while I send the other set to Danny to work his magic!

If anyone has some extra factory glossy black panels please PM me....I have all the other pieces already.

Just no skulls :lecturef_smilie:

Looks like I may have offended a few people, and no I don't need a hug:roflblack:. All I was trying to say is if you don't have anything good to say then don't say it. I'm guessing Danny put a lot of time into that rear paint so just say hey it's cool. and I'm not that young im 46, but maybe I might be the youngest guy to own an rt limited:roflblack::roflblack:. As an artist myself I have pretty thick skin but sometimes I do speak up. You did see at the end of my previous post I did insert a few smiley faces it really was just a little ribbing, I appologize if I offended anyone and remember I DO NOT NEED A HUG:lecturef_smilie:

The winning paint job from the Spyderfest 2011 Farris Customs passport run. He finally brought it to me.

Balderdash! You call yourself an artist. I bet you are a big hit at Halloween with your 1000 skulls. Are all your skulls the same or are you artistic enough to vary them? All the same just makes for a pile of bones. Any have hair? How about worms crawling out of an eye socket. Maybe a sea scene with seaweed wafting in the waves and a crab dining on an eyeball!
Some call what Maplethorpe did was art. Many call it what it is --- crap. Thick skin indeed. No criticism allowed. Bull feathers.

Could do without the skullnojoke

:agree: x2

Love the overall paint job of the flames and colors but personally I could leave the skull off for my ride (but it does look good though) What is it with all the scheme's out there to include skulls? I see it on paint jobs and wraps styles all over the place so obviously people want them.

Easy, Spyderrock. As I read the thread all there was is a comment that he could do without the skulls (that was seconded and my subsequent third) and you seemed to read more into it. Just because someone (like me, too) does not care for a component of the design for our own bike does not mean that the work is not beautiful. I also would not put on those "posed nude lady silhouettes" that you see on peoples trucks on any of my rides. But that is just me. I see tons of spider designs that look great but just are not my cup of tea either. I like looking at other people's unicorns but wont have one of those either. Does not make them bad. Part of why I am still looking at designs and have not already wrapped or painted mine. It will be done this winter - just not sure what yet?

Thank you for all the comments. :thumbup:

Skulls, no skulls? :dontknow:
It was what the customer wanted. He was happy and I was happy
to do it.

I can't wait to do the 2012 winning paint job.

I'm gonna make a skull catapult mod, then I can have skulls and shoot skulls at you if you dont like them to FORCE skulls UPON YOU!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, its on now. I will call it Spyder-skullapult.

Perhaps I can set some of them ablaze for a Flaming Spyder Skullapult.

BEAUTIFUL BIKE!! :2thumbs::2thumbs:

May I PLEASE borrow it when you're done???? I know some folks I'd like to shoot flaming skulls at!!!!

I love the paint job!! And the skull!! I have a small skull tattoo on my leg....with a mowhawk and a blue rose through it's teeth.

 

[Fire Joe]

Danny is great when it comes to skulls!! Can't see them all here but there are a ton of them incorporated into the paint job he did on my Spyder :thumbup:

Like I said. I is a nice paint job, but I am not into skulls. I was thinking of getting my Spyder painted, but just know when I do I will scratch it.

DANG THAT'S HOT!!!!!! That looks a little like my Spyder. Hey, wait, that is my Spyder. I have not yet seen it in person,
but those are the same pictures Danny Farris sent me when he completed the paint job. Right on Danny :2thumbs:. I gottacallCowtown tomorrow and see if they will have repairs done this week. Sure would like to pick it up on Saturday :yes:.
As far as the skull is concerned it is Danny's business logo. When I dropped the bike off at Farris Customs I told Danny
the rear fender was his to do with whatever he wanted. He put his logo and company name there and I'am proud to display it for him. The only thing I wish I would have thought of would be to have Danny paint his signature there also.
Every artist should sign their work and Danny is truly an artist. That is quite evident in the pictures.

Danny, even though I have not yet seen it in person, I think it looks GREAT!!!!!! Thanks for all your time and effort.
I'll try to stop in when Cowtown gets done with it.

P.S. Not only did Danny paint it, he also hauled it to Cowtown for me. That saved me a 5hr round trip just to get it the 15 or 20 miles from Danny's shop (St. James) to Cowtown (Cuba). Thanks Danny, I truly appreciate that.

See ya soon
