He was the one who said "if you aint American you aint s**t".
To be honest I was more insulted by his butchery of the English language, the double negative shows he's a bit dim, but coupled with his arrogance and dislike of anyone not American, it just turned me right off.
He also called his European competition "a bunch of pussies".
I could live with Kenny Roberts colours, they're Yamaha speed blocks and Sheene used the same design, but even though the artwork on Kocinski's bike was good I wouldn't use his colours.

You could get a designer to do a British equivalent. the colours are the same, but you'd have the Union flag instead of the Stars, and a Lion's head instead of the Eagle.
Fun and British too!

That’s not a bad shout. You could replace the eagle with a lion. Nice to hear someone refer to the union flag properly when not in naval use. Jon |

Like that, uK jack version, inspired by, not just copy... wasn’t aware of Kosinskis attitude to us brits so it would be a bit a bit of a two fingers too that. or a version more in line with what Bare was alluding too , just with a confederate flag.....might get your bike torched though! |

My first idea was The British Union flag like what they have on a triumph but in a crinkly finish and dark red white and blue like aged But then i had to think how to do it and draw it all up and the painter wanted a fortune to do it all this is a straight copy and was bright and fun looking but now im having second thoughts dam you lot LOL

Love the idea of a cartoon like lions head to. Failing that just type ‘union flag fluttering drawing’ into google for some inspiration. Jon |

A proper Marlboro paint job in bright orange/red is hard to beat in my opinion, if I was going to have non-standard paintwork I'd go for that.
It looks better on a fully faired bike but an LC in full Marlboro is still hard to beat.
Those Kocinski colours are nice, I always wanted his replica helmet, but once he started slagging all the Brits off it put me right off him.

Yea, kocinski. There was a lad in Mechanics mag years ago who had an lc done in a Kocinski scheme. Looked great Dusty😉 Yep, Dale Ruston if I remember correct. I guess the paint job is of it's time but does look a bit dated now. The 125 owner should have spent some cash on a new front disc before splashing out on new paint! |
