Yeah, I'm a little excited. This is a re-do from last night, because the one in the "can't stop" thread I wasn't happy with. In fact, I was a little upset but I posted it anyhow. To me, it was a waist of my best cab, so this morning I pulled the cab out of the wire, and replaced it with a red jasper cab. Then I started working on the Marra Mamba again. ;D lol, I'm finally 100% happy. In fact, I'm so excited that I feel like getting drunk now. lol (excited over a wire wrap, yep, I'm a true biker) Anyhow, this (IMO) is the best one that I've done so far. I'm not sure if I want to sell it, because if I sell it I'll never see it again. I could give it to my wife, in which case I'll probably never see it again. Hmmmm....oh, the wire wrap......... Here's the ugly "BEFORE" pic...... Here's my new look (I did this, honest) lol....

Your wraps get better and better! It's clear you're in the wrapping fever and I don't want to see you cured. I bet you don't want to be cured either Adrian

I don't know what you were unhappy with; the first one looks great. But then again, the re-do is fantastic!

Randy, You're right, the redo has much more graceful lines, really accentuates the beauty of cab. Maybe you should frame it. Jo

Hey Mr Bikerrandy, I really enjoyed following the tale of those wraps, it's wonderful that you "re-cycled" it in to something even more beautiful than before, the cab alone was fabulous, but your second wrap had such a flow to it - I can see the inspiration rushing through it. You hit the mark there Sir, I can't wait to see what happens when you feel bored again?! ;D And yes - EVERYONE should see that! ;D Thanks for the pictures and the story. Cheers, Sparkles.

That second wrap is just fantastic. The flow of those three wires are just really graceful. Great Job!
