We'd have to get something together since there seems to be NO bicycling culture around here (unless you have carbon fiber and spandex pants). Your chrome bike looks like it would get along well with mine: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=49015

Reporting in from Charlotte.
good to see so many NC folks here. We should create a virtual community for parts, cool bikes for sale in your area, etc.
I'm into bmx cruisers and klunkers. Thanks

Re: North Carolina RatRodBikers... CHECK IN!

What up gang... So nice to see that I have some fellow crack/bike ad.icts here in the homestate...
Enough of that bs right. I'm in Wilmington with a few nice sleds. "Motorized Dyno coaster and a felt". Excuse me if the motor bothers ya.... But I am a mx er from the 80's and jus can't seem to shake it! Love the pedals too. 2 mtn bikes "which i ride, well until we bought a herd of atvs, another story right" Anyway, love to host a little get together with some fellows and wifes of course. We have a 34' boat for the outing and the local MB Park is connected by trail to our back yard. Bar hoping on some stretch sleds is about 7 miles from the house in Wrightsville beach or downtown Wilmington. I would be glad to host if its not to much maintenance! Let me know what you guys think?

Here's my ratrod bike hauler. It's time for a new coat of flat red paint. I can haul all the bikes that will fit in and on the bed with the 472" Caddy engine.

How did you get the front end so low? Flipped spindles or flipped beam?

472 Caddy lowering system!

Re: North Carolina RatRodBikers... CHECK IN!

I installed a Plymouth Volare torsion bar front suspension. It's a pretty common swap in 53-56 Ford trucks. Actually the Caddy is not all that heavy. They weight a little more that a small-block Chevy , but less than a big-block Chevy.I have not driven the truck in several months , but plan to get it roadworthy again by spring.
