My bike

I started from nothing but raw material and a idea for a totally rad bike, it has been a long process but it is nearly complete. Posted are a few pix of its humble beginning to near completion.

this is a picture of the general idea, frame not totally together... Just rough cut!


here the frame is a rolling chassis, the tail fins and tank are fabricated, and ideas are festering!


tail fins installed, tail lights installed, tank installed, gears, seat, light....It is a working functioning, ride-able freshie! ready to ride and test all welds for weakness...none noted, its time for glass and paint!!!!!!!!!!


body work is done, House of kolor primer is on, ready for some bling!


house of kolor paint is fresh, first time shooting it and love it! just wish it was cheeper!!!!!!!!!! wet paint is lovely to smell. and this is where this story ends...for now ;)

Hey, how come there is no picture of "the bike" at the wedding. It added a fun touch to an already very fun occasion! Kiss Charlotte for grama, and have fun with Sarah! Love you!
