Frightliner

Postby tvc15 on Sun Jul 31, 2011 6:08 pm

I'd like to thank my friends, family and everyone that provided feedback and support on this project. I really enjoyed this build although there were more than a few occasions when I thought that I'd never get through it. For those of you wondering what that thing attached to the rear end is... Well, the bike is equipped with a vintage Dynajet pulse jet that actually runs, maybe not the most powerful thing but it is frighteningly loud. A couple of short videos will be added Monday

The aptitude, skill and artistry of the builders at this site is amazing and has really been inspiring (not to mention intimidating at some times). Congratulations and good luck to all the participants in this years build!

There's only one word that can describe this...BEAUTIFUL :mrgreen:
Wake up every morning wondering what new bike I'll find!
If you don't have pics, it probably didn't happen!

Absolutely gorgeous, looks like it belongs on the Bonneville Salt Flats ready to set a land speed record. Really amazing build!!!! Every RRBO6 build I see I think it can't get any better and this is no exception. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!

VIDEO PLEASE!!!!
Rat rods may be known by their flat black, gray paint and rusty parts but there are no set rules as to what makes a rat rod.
