Ok, so this is my best bud Brandon. I've known this goofball for 7 years now & for 7 years, he's been wantin' me to build him his own bike. He had his 31st birthday coming up, and I had a pretty good collection of parts stashed away, so I thought, "he's been waitin long enough, lets see if I could pull this off in time without him finding out". Hence the name "sneeki tiki" (plus thats our favorite cocktail at the Bahi Hut) I had about 3 weeks to do it.

He was all about Von Franco's Taboo Tiki (the green/orange combo) and every time we went out booze kroozin' he was ridin' my Kreeti Tiki, but for his bike he wanted his own personal version

Then one day I showed him a picture of this, the "EL B TIKI" coupe & he was changed forever. So we used this as our inspiration.

I wanted to build a tank outta wood for it and we just happened to finish a job putting in bamboo floors for a customer. so I snagged a few pieces of scrap and made up a template.
