Great job, guys! The visual effect is awesome.

Wow. Bitchin' job. Seriously.

Did you paint the bikes?

awesome idea and job, guys

Not exactly Christo wrapping the Reichstag in silver cloth, but still a neat installation. Looks like you guys had fun. The images certainly do convey a sense of motion and dynamism.

We wrapped 'em in vinyl.

Ah; hence the scissors. I see now.

I really with I could have seen this in real life.

I really enjoyed the photos. Why were the bikes so dusty?

They were shipped up from Aprilia's storage warehouse in Dallas which is apparently a filthy, filthy place.
