my bike collection: 1 year later!

[texasbigjon]

13 months ago,on new years day,i posted a group shot of all the builds i had done in 2008. i tried to do it this year,but the weather has been bad. the cool part was that i was able to slip the murray into the mix! last year i moved all of my girls and middleweights out,built 4 new keepers and finally finished my firebike. so heres the slide show....first pic is last years group shot....next 4 are this years group shots...2 of vintage bikes only....3 pics of last years keeper builds...and 2 pics of the stretch bikes!

boy, that murray really sticks out like a sore thumb, who cares about those anyways - you know you could always send it to me and ill dispose of it correctly :mrgreen:

but in all seriousness, you have a beautiful collection. i think i missed that bare metal cwc roadmaster build... great work

 

[Rat Rod]

John....you've got a real knack for building really stylish, ultra cool bikes.

I'd have to say that your collection is one of my favorites for sure....all awesome!

i was hoping someone could tell me! :lol: ive only seen one other pair. one of the sellers on ebay was asking for info on them too. he had a pair w/an old sticker on the crossbar,that said something about a motorbike! they were listed as a columbia bar,but they are shaped differently. :roll:
