Thanks guys, the bike drew a small crowd outside the Beer Store earlier. Some were scratching their heads, others loved it, and one hipster thought it was some kind of cool mobile art piece. Lol what a goof!

The whole bike handles really nice and true, no hands, no problem! Now I need a track or something to take it too. I am sure the Spandies at the lake trail will just be appalled by it. :lol:

YO!! WHAT A RATT!! BEAUTIFUL! PEACE

 

['48 Hawthorne]

Thank you! Now that the madness is over, I'd like to thank my gf for putting up with the mess, and my trusty and rescued, Dogo Argentino, Boo for never missing a garage opportunity with dad!

Now it's time to relax with some Moose burgers and a Lemon Tea beer!

Cheers, and good luck to all!

This bike is hauntingly beautiful; RAT-to-the-Bone. Another big time contender. Maybe I can clone three votes into 30.

"i'd like to see some fall pictures of this one around halloween!"

That just might be in the works. I live pretty close to the country and have already mulled over some possible 'patch' locations! There are a few creepy abandoned houses around that might work as well. :wink:
