My John Deere cruiser

[rustydawg]

This is a big hit in the farming community where I live, at least for the JD owners. I only get one station on the AM transistor radio on the handlebars, of course it's a country music station.

That is ONE cool bike!......Some bikes have attitude, some have personality. This bike has both.

That is funny, Where did you get that seat? I can't see the whole picture, what is going on with the handlebars? I can see it is interesting, but can't see why.

Cool bike. I remember it from the JD feature on BR&K where yours and mine were both featured http://bikerodnkustom3.homestead.com/JohnDeere.html

I just looked at the br&k link. That's nuts! I had no idea john deer was so popular among bike enthusiasts.

Very cool. Being a full time farmer and part time bike builder I can appreciate it. Maybe I'll build a red one someday since our tractors are mostly Case IH. I love the details, especially the bale. Good job.

Thanks for the positive replies, the JD is a blast to ride. There is an exact seat on eBay right now for sale, seat was made by Nirve. I also thought about doing another tractor theme bike of another maker, maybe a Cockschutt . Just found this site and luv it. Can't wait to build up a black bike for y'all.

Nice bike.

A Cockschutt? Those don't come by too often My father knew a guy who collected them.

Your radio reminds me of that line in 'The Blues Brothers' movie: "We have both kinds of music. Country and western." Maybe with a better antanae you could get a station that plays western music also! Cool bike.

Wow, that last one from Germany is awesome! They all look great, even found this one while looking for 29er mtbs from the Spicer cycles page

hey! i have a set of bars just like those! what kind of bike do they come from?
great bike, by the way!

 

[rustydawg]

I picked up the bars from ebay several years ago, I think they were just an aftermarket bar from the late 1960's. Don't think any particular bike brand used them on their stock models, I could be wrong though. Mine were advertised as a 1969 part. Peace, Love and Chicken grease 8)

i gotta give that jd cruiser a big 4H thumbs up. i've always liked that color scheme (and i don't know why) and your cruiser looks sweet. it would go over big up here in yreka, seeing how this is a big ranchin 4H community. c'mon, over half of our siskiyou county fair is tractors and livestock.
