I can now say that i have been striping for a couple of years. Not sure if it helps me keep my sanity or if it creates my insanity. I was born and raised near sturgis SD so this shit is in my blood. I build custom bikes through my business Meridian Choppers, Inc since the late 90's. Striping came naturally since i was doing a lot of paint and body work any way. When i used to fuck up with the metal fab i could always say, "the painter will fix it", now that i am also the painter, it helps me be a better fabricator. I love anything custom, mostly cars since i see bikes all day. This site rocks, it is the only website i visit daily for inspiration and to just see all the cool shit eveyone does. I really look up the old timers here, there is no substitute for the knowledge these guys have. I am also impressed by all the new stripers that have been doing this for under a year or so. Seems like this art is making a serious comeback. Keep your brushes wet and keep postin cool shit.
