The Streamliner

My eye's are drawn to the cars in the background .

You definitely have to learn to fuzz out the backgrounds in David's pics...very distracting to the actual 'bicycle' .

This whole build is just over the top...supreme metalworking!

The cars are just okay! That bike is the true work of art!!!!
Good luck at the show and the drags!

The funny thing is that when customers come in, they often walk straight past million dollar cars to look at the bike! It was the same when I made the rocket sidecar

I might even have time to fit a bell...

Just returned from the drag strip. I spent much of the day riding it round.
The response I got was amazing!
I was called to the start line just before lunch brake to take it down the quarter mile. Unfortunately the car before me crashed. By the time they had cleared the track, it started raining, so I never got to go down.
I'm half gutted, and half relieved! Relieved because it is a bit scary at high speed in a side wind!
A lot of fun though. Many, many people stopping me for a chat and photos.

For me that's the winner. Just wow. I am so happy you finished the front fender! I love these "streamline modern" lines on it, fit perfectly the overall style... Words escape me... I just noticed the stem has the curve of the body as well... What is this small cover on the body, behind the fork for, is it for the charging port?
Did you picture it like this at the beginning? This headlight is awesome with the body around it!

Wow thanks!
There is a flip round cover on each side. One is the charge port, the other is for the main key switch

Do you have an apprenticeship program in your shop?

Don't know if this link will work, but here is a very blunt but cool cousin to your streamlined beauty. This is from Burning Man this year.

I found the original sketch I'd did right at the beginning. It's not too far off....
