I decided that I needed to hang a little something on the living room wall to brighten things up a bit. Something simple, understated and elegant... I think I nailed it. :biglaugh:

Whatcha think? Bad ASS or too much? :punk:

Poster is ok, quite entertaining but hanging above a flag...not necessary my taste.

I understand. :biglaugh:

Actually it's a vinyl dealership banner that I purchased earlier this week, not a poster... and the "flag" is throw-blanket that I received as a "bonus" from work a few years ago.

Nothing to apologize for... I noticed that you were not from the U.S. and my original post was meant to be amusing. Just entertaining myself because it's after 4am here and I'm a little bored. :biglaugh:

I'm not big on flags being used as things other than flags, but not my digs so not my issue. But, I like the poster, great placement. :punk: You can never have too much bad ass

A friend of mine had a banner made of his bike, similar to mine in my garage, he about shit when he got a price to frame it. What he ended up doing was getting some trim, that goes around doors/windows and such, painted it. cut it, and made a faux-frame. It finished the poster nicely.

It's not an actual flag. It's a blanket that I received as a gift/bonus from work.

That's a damn good idea - I just might do that. I can't even imagine how much a 4' X 8' frame would cost?

It was intended to be amusing because it's NOT simple, understated or elegant... it's a bit ridiculous to have a giant, almost life-sized picture of a motorcycle hanging on your living room wall. The silly kind of thing that only a single guy living alone could get away with. :biglaugh:

Use some 1" x 3" white pine or fir in a good grade & place 45 degree reinforcements in the corners & because of it's length a couple of vertical stringers. Use pocket screws like Kreg's and some good carpenter's glue or resorcinol glue w/the screws. Then just stretch & tack the poster using a stapler w1/4 or 3/8" staples. Plenty-strong, light, & does a great job of displaying the artwork. It will look just-like a gallery hanging except for the Festivus Pole of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans next to it. http://www.trbimg.com/img-50c2698f/turbine/sfl-city-hall-nativity-scene-shares-space-with-001/600

Where would one go to have a poster made of my actual bike? I'm sure that photo places (if they still exist) but that would be a super cool idea! I want one but I don't wanna spend a whole lot on it. Maybe I'll throw that as a hint for Christmas !!

Here is what I used for mine. They can do banners, cards, T-shirts, mugs, just about anything. Awesome quality and the price was sweet. If I remember right is was under $40 for outdoor vinyl, about 4'x2' (trimmed to 47"x21")
All I did, was make the graphics, then upload it to their site. About a week and a half, I had it up on my wall.

"Vistaprint" can do this also, as long as you provide a good digital photo of what you want reproduced. I bought a mousepad, coffee cup, wall poster and T-shirt of my bike going through the dragon, same pic that's in my signature! Total cost was around 50 bucks for everything shipped! :punk:

Go to your local sign shop that does vinyl signs. Now days they mostly print on vinyl and also can print on paper. Some have printers up to 72" wide.

Chuck that vinyl would looks great on the wall when you walk in, don't you have a hutch with figurines? It would blend right in and the wife might not even notice lol
