That's a cool bike and a great picture too! The patina tank looks awesome

Thanks, but once again I can't be credited for the patina, time did that one.

its just my opinion but this bike is soooooo much better than the first...its pure(nothing thats not needed...just a great bike).
love it :mrgreen:

Thanks, yes, this bike is more fitted to this website I just lost readership when I switched to it, but it's a great bike. I'm kind of glad though that I started with it late, because if I had started early I might have overdone it. If I set out to build a true rad rod I go by a formula I concocted years and years ago when I saw a little documentary on rat rods. They explained how it started out, guys got a car they could afford (usually not pretty) and they made it go, their money went into engine/drivetrain/wheels & tires. After that they had a ratty looking car that with nice wheels that could go. That's what I've tried to do. All that's missing is the pinstriping.

I'm fresh out of racoons, but I got badgers...

Haha, I saw a shirt at a restaurant in Intercourse, PA and it had a buggy with a stretched motorcycle front end on it and it said "Lancaster County Choppers"... funny stuff.
