I decided to take the advice of those members who said I might have got first place for best paint at last years Ireland Bikefest if there was more "nipple action" going on with the bike.

I think I would struggle to come up with an idea for custom paint like that...
The 'babe' is fabulous....

Well I went thought the usual thought processes - should I go for flames, or skulls? or maybe dragons? ...or a dragon spitting flames at some skulls?
The problem with all those is that it would be just another bike like many other custom bikes - that look nice, but are forgettable.
So it finally clicked that having a "theme" was the most important part - and then having pussy in the theme was next on the list.
Taking it up a level to having pussy that was armed and dangerous, kinda takes the edge off the "gratuitous portrayal of women as sex objects" comments. 
I then remembered a T-Shirt I had many years back with the Cry For Dawn cult-comic character - done by the artist Joe Linsner - which was Dawn with a flick-knife being all hot and dangerous. If you do a Google search for Cry For Dawn, you will find lots of images from the comics.
It was then just a case of using some of that material and getting together with a airbrush artist - in this case Colin McKay (www.airbrush-art.co.uk), thrashing out some design ideas and then letting him free-style the last 20%.
If you get to see Thunderbert's bike, his theme was the Thunderbirds characters (puppets, rockets, Tracy Island, etc) and Colin did his whole bike end to end. Having the Theme really ties all the art-work together on the bike.

Can I be cheeky and ask what a paintjob like that cost?

Well any air-brush artist would say the price is down the time they spend doing the work - the more detailed the design and work is, the more time it takes and therefore the more it costs. A typical tank is around 800 pounds. Less if its a simpler design.
