Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

that idea crossed my mind too but they would only be able to be used when the rider was off the bike or you would get a face full o flame. nope that is not their intended use. and no it wont have an engine i think that would be frowned upon.

yup.....rusty513 started with 'the fizzer' then sold it and did another

yup, my brother built on last year ( i think he got the bug after seeing necessaryevil's lazyray :mrgreen: ), he built the bike he wanted and i dont think you can frown on that. same goes for any other bike here i would think :)

but i think theres enough proof here that a ton of bikes look better without motors

looking like the grandaddy of hotrod bicycles karfer !!! personally the tailight is my favorite part so far :D
 
Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

As a bikecycle mechanic this thread is both bewildering and intriguing.. cant wait to see whole bike
 
Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

sorry if i was misunderstood(happens almost always).......
i wasnt saying theres anything wrong with a motored bike in the build off....theres nothing against the rules about it
as for karfers bike having/not having one well just have to wait and see :!:
 
Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

ccr thanks i like the taillight too now i just have to get around to finishing it. now that the bike is taking shape it starts to get into all the little details that i love so much to toss into my bikes.

JOScatRATrod bewildered that is a good one i will have to remember that in the future for a bike name. thanks i too am a bicycle mechanic and when i brought it to the shop the other day well the other guys who are used to my nutty bikes thought this one topped them all on the crazy scale.

sensor i ment nothing bad by saying it would be frowned upon but come on these are bicycles i think it is more proper that way. now to toss some actual car parts at a bike that is cool at least i think so.

Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

finally got around to tossing some grease in the new departure model A hub so i could take her for a spin and so far everything is a go.

your bike is missing at least one thing that I know of, Karfer, but I'll be by this afternoon so you can take care of it.
Looking forward to seeing it! 8)

yes thats right well i think i ran around like a proud papa sat showing that "part" off before the ride. my hats off to you my friend it is stunning. as for the bike the ride went well. after i had rolled her outside it dawned on me that i was about to do a long ride on a full custom rat that as of then i had ridden some 50 feet. so i took off up and down the street a bit getting a better feeling for the bike and all i can say is this sucker is just about perfect. i think it rides better than the ratty truck {i just wish she had a 2 speed} and the front end is very controlled only when you make sudden movements does it become twichy which is no real problem just no sudden moves. the sprocket does move a little front to back when going from brake to gas making a small clunk then settling down into that oh so beautiful skip link chain sound that if yoiu have never heard you are missing out. now i gotta get her back to the house so the carnage and sillyness can continue

Re: THE GALT TOWN HOOLIGAN 6/9 dual carb setup and pinstripes

no worries kota and no i dont think that it is about whats in the water it is more like powered by budwiser. if any of you want to know my Achilles heel it would be to sneak in and steal my beer. i come up with all the really silly ideas like that.
