Well here it is, originally posted by Emanon as a craigs list find, in my yard. Shes a real beauty, a kind of work of art or maybe a cool parade bike, you decide. The owner had no idea who the artist/builder was. His story was that when he was a firefighter some years ago, in Berkley Michigan. He was on a routine call and noticed the bike in the gentlemans garage and when asked if it was for sale the man replied why yes it is. The firefighter told him that the F.D would use it in their yearly parades and the man kindly sold it to him and told him that his son had made it. That is all he knew about it unfortunately. The bike was used in a couple of parades and the owner was no longer a fireman so he put it on CL. The bike is made of steel and the flame is the frame. the rear wheel is not centered under the flame but is only noticable from the rear. it has magnesium wheels, I believe, and they say Lester on them and have been sandblasted. The tires are shot so they will be getting new ones.

Re: Fire Bike

Re: Fire Bike

i think you should do it in a 70's wild paint scheme, with panels, fogging and everything, like the funny cars and dragsters.
