People everywhere duck and cover at the sound of the air raid siren's scream.

I'm finished!!! Had to work through all day today but I did it! It's done!

I ended up gutting the siren and mounting a electric motor from a model airplane inside. When you pull the hand lever it spins like mad and really sounds like a slightly higher pitched version of an air raid siren. The rechargeable battery is hidden in the tank.

I looked everywhere for rivets, once I found the ones I wanted I tested it on a scrap piece of metal. I'm glad I did. It looked horrible. So I decided not to use them. I'm really glad I waited to test it first. If I hadn't I would have had 100 holes in the tank with nothing to fill em but these hideous rivets.

I think you got confused on the builder. :)
 
Great bike. D'you take Paypal?
 
Fantastic bike! Glad you got the transfers in time. Just needs some chocks!

That's a great idea. I really should have got some for the photos.

I have been thinking about selling it, haven't decided if I will or for how much.
 
I'm interested in the inner workings of your siren! too bad the rivets didn't work out, the bike looks great.

I think I'm going to post a "how to" on the siren in the next couple weeks. I've been getting a lot of questions about it so I think I'll share my engineering secrets.
 
Freakin sweet!.....

Well done my man.... Well done
