I think those flames are really hot with the 16-year olds who dress in
flourescent Dainese leathers, white boots with pastelle colour "splashes"
and wear helmets painted by some Hip-Hop inspired designer high on ecstacy.

Any way you do it, the result has got to be an improvement.

There are some different kinds of glue solvents in the paint shops. Those
solvents, together with a dull (not sharp) knife, some finger nail work,
and a lot of patience will get off those hideous adolescence attributes.
IMHO, any colour scheme that hasn't been used in desert rallies proves that
the designer has missed the point.
Keep sliding - without flames
