    Frame replacement

    I saw a couple threads on bad frames. I was wondering if this was a viable option for them??






    I don't know if you guys have seen it, but I laughed so hard....

    Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

    You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

    I have a pic of that bike on my website but not from the front... From any angle it's a hoot.

          Oh sure, just like that horn! I do have to say I'm partial to the gold rim headlight unit, but it is still an ugly package.

              Frame replaement




              They don't call me woodbutcher for nuttin

              When my baby got runned over and bent the frame Iwondered what I would do. Being a woodworker the thought
              crossed my mind. But I thought there's no way that would work.
              WRONG. There is always one who will. Not practical but got a lot of comments. I'd like to see him do wheelies with that one.

                  Creaking and groaning in the corners.... probably sounds like the old wooden Navy ships at sea, going down the road.

                  "Had a pretty decent bike, but sat too long and got ruined"

                  "What happened... rusted up??"

                    But you gotta love that springer front end. The Harley guys must be jealous.

                      You must admit though, he does have a lot of creativity in that. I love weird projects like this. It really shows what can be done with a little bit of thought and some skill.
