    Motorcycle Art, Celtic Midnight

    I have black Triumph Bonneville with the registration including 2359. I'm thinking that some sort of celtic midnight themed artwork might look good. On the tank or on the side panels or even the mud guards.

    No idea how to go about the technicalities if I do come up with anything.

    I am thinking that some Celtic designed pattern, done in the form of like ghost flames would be sweet... Subtle but yet a stand out....

    I am guessing this is an early, Lucas ignition (why the British drink warm beer, no irreverence intended) Triumph Bonneville. What year, is the bike stock, restored, got pictures?
    To suggest a venue for designs, you might check out some tatoo sites. Also Dover pub. has a number of Celtic design books with the designs on CD for printing.

    I own two Triumphs, all be it modern, a 95 thunderbird and a 96 trophy 900.

    I'm afraid to disappoint you, it's 2003 Bonneville 790 that has been up gunned to 900cc. Life is too short to spend hours monkeying around with old machinery that I don't understand - at least mine is.jith:
