Why do tall or fat people always drive such tiny cars?

because you never notice the talls or the shorts driving their respective cars. It's the irony that makes it stand out, therefore we wonder why they "always" drive ill-fitting cars

Be boo be boo!!!!
Irony police here!!!
Tall people driving small cars is not ironic. It maybe funny to see, or look noticable, but it is not ironic.

why isn't it ironic?
you expect big people to drive big cars
and little people to drive little cars.

joaos, I think to make the wood grain look work better you should ditch the blue and get a more cohesive theme going. A different blue could work, one with more green in it maybe and some more of the blue, green or what ever color somewhere else on the bike. It looks too eclectic right now.
