    Thanks for the great comment. The next bike build will be pure "Rat." Just took a break and made some bucks with a custom order. Next build, I am going to actually weld something for the first time ever.

    Steampunk bike project

    Today, I installed the center panel. Might add one or two, do-dads, it is 99.5% complete, though. A couple of do-dads that I had laying around. An old, 120 camera and an antique flashlight. Took some scrap leather, wrapped it around and laced it up with paracord. May work up a way to attach the...

    The project is almost done. Here is a link to a YT video of a walk around of the Steampunk bike and my Pinterest page. https://s-media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/originals/f2/fa/14/f2fa14facdcb7931f9cf89023cf6ff0d.jpg...

    Pickin's are getting slim here

    It is probably just around the corner, but, Mecum-like auctions for classic bikes, where people with a lot of spare cash, go nuts, bidding on an item.

    And, that is another thing. The managers of some of the thrift stores, scan the net to set a price on an old Schwinn or the likes, and price it in the stratosphere.

    My new/used ride!

    Sold my 50cc scooter a couple of weeks ago to make way for the new ride.

I scrapped together all of my loose change and bought it from him, only, he lives in Tennessee...
