(read this in your best Bogart Chicago gangster voice...)So far only 11 people have stepped up in the poll. We may even have two categories... All good for me. Last year the MBBO#2 was the first build off I've ever been involved in, and in a single year I've learned. Yes, I've learned. Last year I cut and weld my frame and I hadn't touched a welder in over two decades... It wasn't enough, didn't have the lines, met the requirements but didn't have the look. To be honest there were a couple traditional style Muscle Bikes that were fantastic and either one deserved to win. But this year, this year we might have an super modified class. I can smell burning metal. Oh, the deconstruction of harmless frames to get to the nuggets containing the look, the stance, and the lines. It will be glorious! Back up kid, I'm building a bike, a Muscle Bike for sure. But no Stingray or Chopper, no Spyder or Eliminator, nothing a traditionalist will accept... you know that a banana seat don't make it a Muscle Bike. Ape hangers and little front wheels don't either. But those are the rules, ALL THE RULES! It's crazy! I may even build two bikes! Just cuz I can! So, you who have opposable thumbs! Pick up a wrench and BRING IT, wave it high in the air and roar; "I BUILT THIS MYSELF!" yeah...
Carl.
