:D :D :D
That is awesome. I was riding my Honda Helix scooter and came across 3 bikes that I had to have and was too far away from home to swap out vehicles, so.....1 rachet strap, some twine, an old extension cord and some duct tape later, I was on my way home with the bikes. Made it home ok too...close to 40 miles highway and city riding. Boy did I ever get strange looks that day :D

When the weather is nice I always ride with my trailer and 10 bungee cords and a length of rope. Really comes in handy. I have since painted it to match the bike and added a little ratrod advertising to it. I've used this rig to deliver bikes and bike parts as far as Peru!

I've been trying to figure how to mount the cowbell for a few years and be able to use it like a warning device. As it is now, it makes no noise until I wiggle the handlebars, then it clangs.

The galt town hooligan used a bunch of non bicycle parts. obvious are the solex 30/31 carbs and exhaust tips turned velocity stacks which were used to hide the bells. less obvious is the license plate holder made from an old saw blade cut in half, the 5 hp briggs piston tail light, and 50's glass car tail light lens.

oh yes then there are the bar ends made from wine bottle stoppers

I found these salt and pepper shakers at the local thrift store and thought they were cool so I stuffed a couple of Maglites into them.
