[vibr8shun]

...coming out like the explosive lava from the Mauna Kea volcano in Hawaii......RIKI-TIKI-RATI :!: :!: :!:

Driftwood surfboard rack

Son: ...hey dad, what will happen if you put your finger in the chainwheel?

RR Dad:...silly boy, they become valve covers...uhhh...pull my finger
Son: Eeeewwww thats gross!!!
(true story while building)

...and now some random stuff caught by the mystical grip of R-T-R

...yep the other day, a car was magically pulled towards me and almost side swiped me on its maiden voyage
. Thanks everybody and goodluck.

[meezonweelz]

Lots of great ideas on this build. Gotta love the magnetic tank!

 

[mastronaut]

Dang! So many cool things to check out on your build, tell me you are part mad-man! :wink:

 

[Heavy Pedal]

Wow! Too many cool things to point out! My favorite part during your build thread was the sprocket, but seeing it done, I gotta go with the severed finger valve caps! Good job!

LOOK MAW... NO FINGER!

sjeeeeez... What a cool bike. I like almost everything about this bike. New to me are the fingers. The surfrack complete with fin. The textured and magnetic wooden tank. I could go on and on... I love the humor on this bike.

Well done!

[Dr. Sizzle]

Lots of really awesome details!

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Absolutly love the little details on this bike...

Now...I have stuck my finger in my chainwheel while riding

Back when i rode BMX bikes around constantly, i felt like the bike was moving sluggish, i went to go pull on the chain, trying to see how tense it was while still pedaling(you know...it usually gets pulled tight again)

Well, I meant to drag my hand and little did i realize my hand was keeping up with the chain, I got about 2 teeth through my fingers...and i was riding a coaster brake bike. The first thing i thought was....Oh...What...OW!!!
and pulled my hand out, One bloody grip and sprocket later, I didnt check my chains when i was riding again

Goodluck!

AHhhh, you too?...only I was trying to remove some long grass that was stuck in the chain while I was STILL on the bike pedaling...Yep I did a face plant on the hard asphalt in front of some cute girls when I was in 6th grade...those were the days :| :|

 

[JoKeR63]

Great detail work, this is definitely my favorite TIKI. I really like the brake arm.
