OK, we had the Tiki Car thread, hows about the Tiki Bike thread?

Now that we're back in San Diego County, my wife's buggin' me to buy myself a bike ("Have you been looking at motorcycles again? Well, why not?" Awww, don't you wish you had my problems?), and I was mentally debating Tiki-fying it.

Has anyone here done this, or know of good examples?

I'm debating such atrocities as a Tiki mask fairing with headlamps for eyes & colored lights behind the mouth; bamboo covering the gastank; tromp l'oil bamboo painting the pipes; small painted images of Disney characters in the Enchanted Tiki Room and/or wearing Tiki masks; miniature glass-eyed tikis hanging from the ends of the handlebars like fringe; fake glass fishing floats as taillights; painting the gastank as a hawaiian state flag; painting the gastank as an american flag with Hibiscus flowers for stars; imitation tapas cloth saddles...

I'm open to suggestions, pro & con, and would love to see photos of anyone's Tiki projects that'd relate to this.
