I still haven`t found anyone locally that can do the paint, though. And I`m not sure what colour to get the 'Triumph' and 'speed triple' decals in. Blue, possibly?

I'm not sure I'd take the camo theme right to the point it would be on a military vehicle, ie no chrome at all. That sounds like a great idea and all, but in reality I think it's a bit much. I'd do the paint first, and then go from there if you don't have the effect you want.
The logos will need to be in a pretty bright color if you want them visible at all. Bright blue sounds good. Fire-engine red is worth considering also. I think anything at all subtle would simply disappear.
Oh yeah, an old mate of mine once sprayed his Land Rover in what he called 'Infrared camo', matt black with dark red areas. It was pretty neat. It'd be pretty easy to end up with another junkyard look, 'survival' themed ratbike though... and there's already enough of those around. That's kinda why I say to leave some chrome or shiny alloy bits on...
