It's a common fashion around Indy. From blinged out bikes to,to rider clubs,to Harley riders,to Squid patrol. It's quite common around Indy. I'm looking for the lime green marker to do my Road Attacks in lime green.

I've seen the lime green markers out there. One of the buds I ride with every now and then did his pilots up on his zx-6 that way they are out there.Let me look around.

Save yourself some money... buy these paint pens at a local art store. In my area, there's a chain of art supply/hobby/scrapbooking stores called 'Michaels' and they sell the same kind of thing for $1.99 each in different colors. I bought a Lockhart-Phillips paint pen once for about the same price as what you have listed, and it didn't last any longer than what I bought at Michaels. All these paint pens have ink that looks great when fresh, but degrades rather quickly... Problem is, when the sidewall flexes due to use at full lean, it tends to crack the paint, and break it down with time. That's why Pirelli has resorted to a sticker format for customizing the sidewall on the Diablo Rosso tires..

I got my pens from Wally World, but any craft store/ major chain store should have them. Almost any color you want. The problem I ran into was that you have to keep putting it on after a few days and that became tedious and not worth the effort spent time wise.
