Well, I'm not sure I will be much help but.....THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!

Since you're motorcycle is mostly light yellow and black, I think you could use a lot of bold/bright colors and it will look really nice. I wouldn't use too much brown, it will be muddy. If you can, try to put accents of the same color yellow as your bike, but keep your colors bright. I say this because the yellow/black you have on your bike is a sharp contrast, looking pretty retro. As long as your colors sink up with the retro feel of your bike, it will really POP.

The interesting thing is, I would normally think that the subject matter would demand a lot of naturals and browns. But your bike looks very modern (kind of the opposite of a horse and buggy type thing) BUT....that is what's so cool about it. If you keep you're colors bright, it could end up looking pretty pop-culture, which I think is a very cool concept.

However, I am super opinionated artistically, so if what I'm saying makes you want to gag (hehe) no worries!!! You could totally go with shades of gray and ivory with little touches of color, and that would still be amazing! I would just avoid brown, personally :-)

I just noticed you posted this Dec. 6th? Have you already painted it? I'd love to see it if you're done!
