Re: █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ TwinFlex 8/2 Screamer Shifter WhiskyAGoGo

I don't know if anyone noticed that I used the shot glass jigger from the same cocktail shaker that I used for the TwinFlex rear spring cover.

I saw that it was there, figured it was just a curious bit of ornamentation...

Like so many of my doodads, it is a curious bit of ornamentation. I have really thought of any functional use for this, but I thought it went well with the flask and the cocktail shaker. I am just decorating a little. Maybe if I noodle on it more, I will think of a funtional purpose for it as well.

guess it would be a little hard to tip the bike for a shot but boy that would be epic! love the shifter and like the old non index shifters better anyway they take more skill but have less problems

Glad you like the shifter man. Nothing like old school muscle! It shifts as smooth as Barry White on Satin Sheets.

Now that I changed the scale on my shifter, it means I have an 11 speed instead of a 7.

That would be cool seeing someone do a shot from their build.

Maybe I can just use a giant straw.

King, please stop being creative. You are making my life miserable. LOL. Dude, love the flask and shot glass.

Thats not a flask, it's a Whisky-A-Go-Go Power Pack, and the shot glass, well it's still a shot glass (for now).

Thanks Skipton. I like the chrome and red too.
It just seems natural for a Spaceliner.

But at least they have been an entertaining 104 pages, or have I just been amusing myself?

Re: █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ TwinFlex 8/3 Dedicated to "MA" R.I.P.

Hello all of my build brothers. Flex-Liner 7 is being dedicated to my sweetheart of a grandmother "MA". She passed away just a few hours ago just a couple of months shy of 94 years old. We have been expecting the news (only just recently), but that doesn't make you any more ready for it. MA was one of those rare people that had the purest of hearts and was as close to an angel walking this earth as anyone ever knew. My brother and I were blessed to have gotten to spend most of our childhood summers with her in Carlisle, PA (before there was any car show). Peatbog and I may have even crossed bike paths back in those days. I was blessed to grow up knowing both sets of grandparents and three of my great-grandparents. That era came to an end tonight, but that ain't bad for a man of 51.

During the short time of our build off, I have followed every build that was started and I have been saddened by the amount of "real life" pain that we have shared with our brethren. I didn't expect it to hit so close to home so soon until a week and a half ago when we heard that MA's body was shutting down. But on that very same day she was having a good day and as I spoke to her on the phone, she sounded as strong as ever, and just as loving as ever as she reminded me how she passed her newborn first grandson (me) around the living room for all of her friends to share.

Just as my other build brothers have done, I will use my build for a little grief therapy and finish it off and take photos this weekend.

Cue up Will the Circle be Unbroken and raise your glasses to Mary B!
An angel that walked this earth and finally got her wings tonight! So don't be too sad, Heaven is a much brighter place now!!!

GOD BLESS YOU MA!!!

Also if you want to remember loved ones in a somber, but sometimes humorous vein, cue up Lyle Lovett's "Family Reserve".

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. You and your family have my sympathy. All those summers together are something to hold onto.

Thank you peat, no doubt about that. My brother and I were reliving some of those tonight.

Steve, thanks for your support. She was a pure heart. She was also an artist that didn't start painting until she was my age after rheumatoid arthritis went into remission. She would have loved this bike and the fact that I hand painted the guard and seat.
