Meh, I'm just having a bit of fun. I honestly don't get why anyone would paint their bike with navy insignia, or stars and stripes for that matter, when there's so many great paintjobs out there begging to be done.

Can you imagine scooting down beach road on a bike with the aussie flag on it or the motto of the SAS enblazened accross the top tube? Imagine how many people would laugh at you.

Different world over there fellas. There's a great 'Short History of the United States' cartoon in one of Mike Moores films, done by the South park guys which is pretty cutting I reckon. Granted, you could do one for Australia involving a stolen loaf of bread, a Jumbuck, a winged keel and a jar of Kraft vegemite that would be just as funny.

I doubt however that we'd get all indignant when questioned about it. We'd just go "yeah, it's pretty farked isn't it" and go watch the state of origin.
