Yeah, but all I did last week was eat bread and ice cream...

Sooooooooooo, how's that weight loss thing going for you? :mrgreen:


Uhhh... no comment. I will however tell you that since quitting my biggest vice (diet soft drinks) I have had 95% less headaches and NO migraines. I miss them like most of us miss our childhood bikes, but I feel so much better.

Bird In Hand, PA he has a little store front with lots of parts original and reproduction for sale, there are also 2-3 garage bays out back full of stuff. I didn't talk to him but saw him there one day. http://generenninger.com/

How are you going to ride this bike ? I know your arms are not that long ? :shock:

This has come up many times, so this week I got a photo of my friend (known on RRB as Nelvolks) riding the bike, he is 5'6" or 5' 7":

And I'm 5' 10" my arms actually bend when I ride it! haha

Thanks guys. I really had planned some extra details but with time running out I think I'm now just looking for some time for a photo shoot and then it will hit the finished section. Photos should be easier this year since I have a kick stand... which you all need to see by the way. :D

The only thing I can think of that I'd add to this build would be a Speedometer about halfway up the left ape. Even if it had to be a dummy until you could find a cable long enough to reach... Would be cool to have a speedo right in your line of sight.

Just use a big ole wall clock!

I've got 2 speedometers at the house, but based on riding style on this bike I'd just remove the face and put in a plate that says "Slow."

For rider reference, I'm on the right and Nelvolks is on the left, I'm 5' 10" and he's not there yet.

Probably shouldn't post pictures like that until after the voting. Just sayin'...

I screwed up the voting for me when I abandoned my initial build to make this thing. :oops:
 
Re: Finished? ▓▒░ Higgins the German Spy ░▒▓ Done?

Yeah, you still ended up with a sweet build. You just lost momentum.

Peatbog said:
Yeah, that really was a bummer you had to switch bikes. I figure that sidecar bike would have been a big time vote sucker-inner.

But you gotta' admit, the bike you have is pretty cool.

I'm still going to finish GI JESSE JAMES, will y'all all vote for it after the build-off?

Yeah, I love the German Spy, it's a great rider. I lost momentum because I've been so busy this Summer and continue to be.

Might wanna just throw up some bunnies and hope for the best. :mrgreen:

Has that worked for anyone yet? I think I was the only bunny poster last year and I didn't even get into double digit votes! :roll:
 
Re: Finished? ▓▒░ Higgins the German Spy ░▒▓ Done?

Peatbog said:
I think it only works if you actually have a bunny on your bike.

And where would one find such a thing? I already have a swan and an ape.
