I have been lurking for the last couple of weeks and decided to finally join up.
So, here’s my story……..
Hadn’t ridden a bike in quite a while till last August, when my doctor, why is it always the doctor, told me that riding my Harley was not considered exercise and I needed to lose a couple of “60” pounds. So, I spent about a hundred dollars getting my old Mountain bike back into riding condition only to find out that a 50 year old fat guy shouldn’t be bent over on a bike, little hard on the back. Sold the mountain bike and purchased an Electra Beach cruiser. In the process of looking for stuff to customize it (A Harley guy can’t leave anything alone) I found this forum. Having always been a fan of the Rat Rod concept, thought it would be fun to build something for me and a cruiser for the wife. So the search begins for a project to start on.
