LocoJoe,
That green one must be one wild ride! My great uncle built a model T pickup with front wheels off-center like that, strapped a cowhide down over the hood and toured the rodeo circuit charging the yokels to try to stay on as he spun it round and round...

heres my bikes with apes.
a 24 inch frame of unknown origine, a real Monarch springer, with 20 inch wheels, the rear wheel is a mag wheel that replaces spokes, made in the early 1970s.
then my Phat Cycles Chopper, I bought at a police auction, as the auctioneer calls them " freshly stolen bikes"
then there is my ladies favorite bike, a rat bike called the "Star Chief", a 61 Schwinn and some pieces she had around the house

Made some quick mods to my Electra for a recent SJ bike party. My friend loaned the mini apes and sissy bar. I loaned him the bike for the party...but I road around with my Grand Master rising sun krate-thing. The route for the party was over 25 miles and part of it went through the Stanford campus. Bike Party!!!.. The Electra won't stay this way for long. I plan to give it a drag bike look. It's fun to ride the way it is though.
I'm all about it!
