My bike has a predator, but I'll probably run the 13hp+ class. She's not too stock anymore. I run a torque converter too, so that's the class I fit into.

thats the nice thing about the symco location if you are into seeing old miltitary equipment. iola is only 10-15mins away. you can see two differnet shows in one weekend and still have time to race your bikes on saturday......:thumbsup:

Nope, He asked me once and I replied saying I would get back to him but I guess I wasn't quick enough so he got someone else to draw it. I was planning on doing it but I guess my fibromyalgia has been getting the best of me lately. Working in HVAC during the winter is pretty busy time of the year and when I get home I sit with a tens machine hooked up to my back and heating pad on it. I don't feel like doing much or even talking on the phone. Looks like they couldn't come up with their own idea. Cracked helmet, long toe nails, tongue hanging out, pretty much the whole guy resembles my drawings.

Hey Chris,
I'll give you a call later this week to talk about the stickers for the drags.

Tom


That was 2 weeks ago. I figured there was plenty of time to discuss the drawing since the show isn't until August.

you don't sound so good tom. . i hope your feeling better. chris likes to work fast. wasn't sure if you did it or not. because it does look different. you have to admit that other people have drawn that character in there own ways.
i hope your getting better tom. maybe see you at windber .........:scooter:

I would have thought there would have been a pair of bikes racing on it being minibike drag racing. Just my thought on it. It does resemble Tom's drawings in away

I understand but he didn't even try contacting me to see why I hadn't called.

I know but is just too close. Especially since he wanted me to draw one and probably told the other artist to draw something like mine. I am planning on being at Symco. Maybe I'll make my own drawing on stickers and sell them there.
