There are multiple uses for a Sharpie, but I guess I never pictured someone using it to design their motorcycle! Sharpie is sponsoring Sharpieuncapped.com, a place for folks to go to upload their Sharpie masterpieces. One such Sharpie piece of work is a a Honda Sportbike, which got a full on Sharpie tagging. Friends Jesse Lockhart and Nick Schuman took it upon themselves to to use 4 black Sharpie markers and together ( even with 9 to 5 jobs) into the wee ours of the night, they both marked up their $10,000 Motorbike. So why did they do this? Both Jesse and Nick are opening up their own custom paint shop and wanted to do something that would get them and their business noticed. In the end they named it Shiyonin, meaning “Servant of God,” and they aren’t even done ‘marking’ the bike up, they plan to Sharpie the wheels next. They promise more designs in the future but for now its a a secret – I think these guys might have just stumbled into a whole other type of business.
