I'm getting there. I just to make all of my photos ready first rather than do it piecemeal.

Here is a photo in front of the new Great Savannah Races Museum that covers the Gand Prix races that were held here back in 1908-1911.

Hey, be careful of that rat. He is small and can get in small places and take pictures of things you don't want pictures taken of. Then comes the blackmail. Then you lose your home. Then they take your bikes. It gets ugly after that. And all the while, the rat is living in luxury. And you can't catch the little critter because he hides in one of those little mazes that he knows how to get through but you don't. And you're too big and would get stuck anyway. And even if you did get through, all you get is a piece of freakin' cheese--small consolation for losing your home. And the rat will just sit there, laughing at you and your little piece of cheese. Rats are like that. Beware.

wait he will take my bikes? no no way NOT THE BIKES!!!!!

Thanks man. I did that a couple of nights ago as part of my griefing therapy.

I think our city founder General James Oglethorpe would have looked much cooler if he was wearing my helmet!!!

Now that Flexy is finished, I need to find time to clean up my shop!!!

Dr. Tankenstein saw it about a month ago and it was about the same. This proves you don't need a lot of room to build a bike!!!

PLEASE VOTE FOR █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ THE TWINFLEX SPACELINER!!!!!!!

Anyone that followed my build knows that it is PIC HEAVY, well this thread is gonna be the same. I tried to take photos that not only show off the bike, but also show off my beautiful hometown, Savannah, GA.

Here is my BO7 Flex-Liner 7 build thread by the way – (viewtopic.php?f=67&t=56671&st=0&sk=t&sd=a)

This build is dedicated to my loving Grandmother “MA” who passed away Friday August 3rd just a couple of months shy of the grand age of 94.
She popped a wheelie and rode that sucker all the way to heaven!!

Some of you guys may remember my wacky BO6 bike BEER RUN and my silly monster bike FUGSLEY. This year I started to go that route, but decided instead to build a cool city rider for me.

The rare 1939 Huffman TwinFlex has such a cool rear suspension design, I decided to build a TwinFlex inspired full suspension Spaceliner.
I started with this 1960s Sears Spaceliner frame which now has the following features
- TwinFlex Rear Suspension
- Beehive Springer Fork
- Flying Freaky Bunny Tiger teeth hand painted on Chainguard, Seat, and Helmet
- Star Chainring with Dogleg Crank
- Nexus 7 hub with modified Muscle Bike Stick Shift
- Police Spotlight and 54 Chevy / 53 Ford Hood Ornament

This build and build off has been a blast to participate in. I have followed practically every step of EVERY build and you guys ROCK. I hope your bikes are as fun to ride as mine is!!!

Here we go with the finished photos. There will be a lot of them. There are a lot of details to this bike, so take your time and enjoy the ride.

I finally made it to the finish line!!

Tickets are available now

Here is the biggest feature of Flexy. The TwinFlex Rear Suspension. There are two pivot points on the extended rear dropouts and the Flex is transferred to the TwinFlex Springer Assembly just behind the seat.

The Spaceliner guard just screamed to be painted with the Flying Freaky Bunny Tiger teeth. I also backlit the louvers and Evil Eye. The chainguard also sports header pipes.

It seems fitting to have a bike with so much Flying Tiger teeth to be in between our WWII monument.

I also have a Nexus 7 hub being shifted by a modified twin tube muscle bike shifter. Both the shifter and the speedo have custom speeds of MACH, WARP, LUDICROUS, and 11.

The old seat pan also got the Flying Freaky Bunny Tiger Teeth treatment

The front suspension is handle with an old beehive springer that I added fins to match the pointy Spaceliner drops. I also added the 54 Chevy/53 Ford hoodie along with custom trusses and spotlight support. I also have the custom limited edition “007” Rat Rod Bikes head badge.

The lights are wild hare bunny powered by the Whisky-A-Go-Go Flask with has the switch hidden under the cap. This powers both the guard and the TwinFlex Springer light.

The even erected a Flex-Liner 7 monument
