Finally got some pics after the late March blizzard :shock: let up.
I have no idea how to date this bike nor am I confident about which model it is. I'm guessing it's a 4-Star Twin Bar model because it has the rear pod/rack, but no factory-drilled front fender holes for a headlight.
This is the first bike I've owned that I can confidently say the bike looks better in person than the photos, and it rides pretty well. I want to put some new tires on it and ride it as-is, the thing is so naturally ratty I almost don't want to mess with it. My wife is such a bike-snob though, she says she won't ride up to the coffee shop with me with the bike looking like that. I say no bacon-waffles for her then!
I won't lose sleep over it but I would like to find a head shroud and crank pod for it (fat chance right?) And I'd sure like a prettier set of fenders!
One thought I had, I also found a Twin-Flex a while back, having previously seen many photos of Twin-Flexes I had an idea concocted in my head about what such a bike would be like in person. To my surprise, although a Twin-Flex is a big heavy bike it has very little presence in my opinion. It seems small, minimal, unsubstantial, nearly unimpressive.
This Twin Bar on the other hand is HUGE, like, motorcycle huge, although it's only about an inch or two longer than other old bikes it seems enormous, it has an immense presence, I think that's what I most like about the bike.
