    "Hot Rod Charlie" the return of Bullet ( 1953 schwinn varsity)

    It was 1979 , any small town USA. Our hero in the story , Charlie , was 13. Times were a little tough and Charlie rode his big sisters hand me down bicycle to and from school every day. A little embarrassing but it did the job and he knew his mother couldn't afford a new one like the other kids...

    ELGIN TWIN 9

    Love it. Had a blue flame 235 straight six in a 55 chevy a few years back. Low horsepower but full of torque and sound great with some loud pipes. Love the theme and the look so far !

    PSYCHO '78 finished

    I've had serapes on several hot rod seats over the years. Thought it would be a cool nod. Back in the 50s when you had your hot rod in the shop getting a sweet upholstery job they would give you loaner seats with mexican blankets on em. If you were riding around with serapes on your seats it...

    Psycho 78'

    Cleaned it all up and grabbed a new chain. Too short so I guess I'll need to grab a second chain and get it on and go for a test ride by the weekend.

    Psycho 78'

    I suppose extending till February wouldn't be a bad thing considering the delays some have had. March seems a little excessive to me. I would have gone a more involved route if I knew I had an extra 6 weeks ish.

    Robbed padding from two Wal Mart spare seats and "upholstered " the old junk bratz pan in a cool serape. Tires got delivered today so hopefully finish polishing the rims this weekend, choose a nice crank /sprocket from the pile , then time to take apart and start assembling for good, piece by...

    Once I mount the slick on the back, if I get lucky and she hooks up and doesn't just smoke the tires , I think I can ride the wheelie bar for most of the race ....

    Bar taped the crusty sissy bar. It's red but looks pink. Ordered black. Serape showed up to cover the banana soon and got the razor wheels for the wheelie bar. Time to get to work

    Wife found an old photo of me with my first real bike. Zoomed in and it says es100. No idea what that is, but I know I remember the first open road trip on that bright red freedom machine! Love to find one like it some day
