Those are cool bikes.Around here everyone with a yard art bike has a ten speed and they paint the whole thing with house paint(tires,seat,chain).
If I put one of those bikes in my yard they'd be ganked in to seconds.
 
yeah i passed takin pics on a few, and the "paint it all" technique is quite popluar here too. just figured id photo the ones with Rat Rod potential :mrgreen:
 
I'd be knockin' on their doors! "Heyyyy, wanna sell that rusty ol' bike? I could give ya an even rustier, artier, yardier bike!" :lol: ~Adam
 
This is a great thread. I pass by several "yard art" bikes that I'm gonna have to start taking pictures of. Here are a couple art bikes that I already had on the camera.

I left a note on the door of this house asking if they'd consider selling this old JC Higgins. Never got a call.

There is a old bicycle in every cracker rest. all over the country. from old pre war bikes to stingrays. Tony
 
Oh yeah, don't get me started on Cracker Barrel! :lol: Since we moved 340 miles, from eastern Va., to western NC, we have visited most of the CB's between here and there! Coolest bikes I've seen were a Monark Super Deluxe, and a Schwinn B6. Lamest was a 70's beige Murray Western Flyer... ~Adam

Hello Maniac, Its about time I see your name on this site, your on all the others. LOL Welcome old friend.

Rick,
Thanks. I thought there might be hope for this Bike Maniac and his addition. But in the end I signed up for yet another forum. :) Some nights I am quite busy with all the correspondence from different site. By then I just recall all the great friends I have made over the years in this hobby.

Hope you had a great Halloween.

One day, I happened to notice an unusual old boy's prewar ballooner in the yard of a house I go by quite often. It just appeared there, overnight. I stopped in one day and asked if he'd liked to sell it. He said no, and I asked if maybe he'd like to hear an offer. He wouldn't let me offer, and it sits next to his tree day after day. :( I didn't get a chance to look at the badge, but I think it was rather rare. I haven't seen another one quite like it. It was missing the rear wheel and the tank, and I think that was all.
