My guess is they:

* had scratches and didn't know how to touch it up or ...
* think it looks way cool (the hand paint job, this is my bet)
* thought/knew it was hot and did not want it recognised.

When I see bikes with the logo painted over, or neatly wrapped over with electrical tape ... I wonder.

But if they knew what they had, they'd have fixed it up so my guess is did not know better.

R'dog, what's this babies history? It's in good hands now.

It's steel, she needs a good paint job is my vote.
