That's fantastic.

It's true value could be summed up by asking, how many BadWeBers could build it?

10 out of 10

My favorite part is the oil filter/kickstand. That's a true "custom" bike.

I've never ridden a bike I built myself. That's probably a good thing.

When I was 11, I did pilot a gravity powered vehicle I made out of a wheelbarrow and my sister's rollerskates (shoestring steering), and that was a very (very) bad thing.

I think that's the one I used to see in Walneck's all the time. They had a pet name for it, but I'm too lazy to go to the basement to take a look right now.

Couldn't think of a better way to spend a Saturday in the scrap yard. A bunch of friends, a welding machine and a case of something cold to drink. Use a little imagination and there you go! Something that goes VROOOOOOOOOM in the night.

I've consulted the owner. Said he'd do a straight swop for my S1W. We're sorting out shipping tomorrow. I'm stoked.

A quick coat of custom paint a couple of crome dodads and it will disapear in the crowd and be just another custom bike.

"More rat-alicous bits..."

Wow! Those are stunning! Looks to me like Tramp is about 5 years away from being eligible for entry there. Might be a long wait for the first Buell entry.

Speaking of galvanized Bake, I had a galvanized fender on the back of my hardtail for about a year. ($12.99 tractor supply vs $30something JPCycles)
