Hi from Virginia

[Vlad the Inhaler]

Got interested in Rat Rod bikes last year, when a fellow aircooled VW guy turned up to a cruise with an enormous stretched tricycle on the roof - and back window and rear deck lid - of his Bug. Hummed and haa'd until last month, when I saw a guy about to throw a bike in a crusher. He let me have it. I'm told it's an eighties or nineties Murray, nothing special, but good for a first build. Missing one handgrip, tires were still at full pressure. Not bad for free! Anyway, the RR site is huge and awesome and full of inspiration. Anyway, thanks for letting me onto the forums.

Nice bike! Cool looking tires with interesting tread.

Welcome. There are a lot of us here that are into bikes and aircooled VWs.
