Build thread here. Simple quick build. Just how I like em.

My 2 inspirations for this bike were my late Great-Uncle Touchy a lifelong Kansas farmer and what I'll call the "Kansas farm truck".

Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

Dig the Bike and that's one cool video ! I really like how you captured thee Essence of that old farm truck, Glad to see that old Chevy still goes down the road !
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

Nice tribute. One of the best 'theme' bikes I've seen. Nailed it!

Best of luck!

Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

Randy, this is a great build, you got my vote! Really reminds me of the old 50 Chevy I once had. Something about a truck in a framer's field. That makes me want to buy another old truck, maybe I'll have to steal your idea and build my own version off it.(if you don't mind) Some times it's hard to get a good idea like this living in the city.
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

You captured the essence of that truck perfectly. Hat is off to you. Nice job.
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

You nailed it! Great bike, will work well with all your other bikes.
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

NICE!...Get the truck running!...Those two should never, ever, be separated. Put a bike rack on the back, and off ya go.
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

Awesome bike Randy! :D Great job on getting that perfect patina 8) Nice video as well :wink: Looks like a cool path to ride on :mrgreen:
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

You have it all right here!!I love those stovebolt Chevy trucks and what a great rat looks like you pulled them out of the barn side by side... 8)
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

One of the better matchups to the inspiration that I think I've seen here. Great looking bike.
 
Re: Uncle Touchy's Back Roads Bomber

I like the way you were able to copy elements of the old truck into the bike. Think I agree that you need obtain the truck and get it running, what a great bike hauler it would make. Really nice result in a short amount of time.
