Great build!! If someone asked what bike I'd like to have and ride from this year's contest, this is the winner.

I've been away for months from the forum, after my entries in 2009, 2010 and another bike I built for my wife. Sadly, I sold 2 out of the 3, I only kept "Desert Stormer", since it is more functional so to speak. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys amaze me with your...

Looks perfect to me... makes the bike look like those old Nortons and Triumphs.

Here's mine, I used .50 cal boxes.

Gee Chip, that's the best you could do designing bikes? you better stick to cars only...

Depending on how long is your commute, I don't think the Walmart stuff will last very long. You can score a higher quality used bike on Craigslist or a swapmeet and update/mod it.

Guess doing it on a billiard smooth surface behind a streamlined fairing and riding on wide motorcycle tires with suspension would give you an added sense of security. Also if the rims and tires are heavy; the faster they spin the more giroscopic effect they produce and the bike is more stable...

I see that bike and I don't see $12k. Any of the excellent fabricators we have in this forum could make that bike for WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY less money. Or does that include the helmet, leathers, food & beverages for the rider, the fairing and renting the dragster for the run?

Right now I'm working on buiding my wife a bike ('81 Murray cruiser); I've done a lot but this is just the past week: Sat and Sun: Went window shopping to a couple LBS for seats and tires to see what they had in stock. Prepped the frame, got it down to bare metal On Monday I sprayed the frame...

I'm on the same boat, I have to build something for my wife... I have been thinking about an old bike (or start with just an old frame) and putting newer components from a donor + springer front end and other details, but I guess its more expensive than starting up with one of these cheap bikes...

Hmmmmm come to think of it... wouldn't a tank on the bike with the same colors and pinstriping balance a bit the volumes/looks of the combo? Too bad you can't swap a nexus 7 speed on that rear wheel to help your legs!

Definitely, your reality TV show is on its way, and the new supervillain merchandise and bighit bobblehead will be in stores by Christmas!

Check: http://www.fibreglast.com they have tons of stuff and I boughtfrom them a lot for a car project, including carbon fiber, books, videos, etc. I would have never thought about toilet paper with fiberglass resin! LOL for parts that are under compression stresses only the fiberglass is...

Ohhhh I get it, everybody is boicotting AZ bikes! LOL :lol:

That is really some piece of work! great looks, compliments beautifully the bike!! A+++ I once built a custom sports car and I used urethane core panels to make the moldless one-off body (a fiberglass/urethane/fiberglass sandwich). Some guys in the same shop made a heavy fiberglass hood for a...
