"Ha, Egsols....!"

Ya missed the mis-matched brake and clutch levers.

Hey Potter,

Yeah, those footrest pads were from a multicolor set(blue/green/red/yellow) of kids floor tiles, similar to what you can find for shops in GREY, but I was going for the GREEN! I guess the spark plug wires and brake lines are also a CLASH!?!?

Hey....it's STILL a RAT BIKE, just a very shiny looking one!!

Yeah, I'm going to be in PA next weekend, sure hope the weather holds out for us. Was there in the Grand Canyon area a few years ago..rained the whole way up, etc.! We had one good dry day for riding. I was trailering then, but I'll be RIDING 'zilla the whole way this time, don't want to have to get out my rain suit!!

Somehow it just don't fit the rat title. It is just to good lookin to be a rat.

[fredintoon]

Unique!

Hi TC,
that looks simply incredible. Watch out for copycats. Please fix the colour clash on the footpads. Hurts me eyes, it does.

Prom, I expected more from you, like perhaps a comment about the mailbox mounted just inside the clutch lever in photo nmber 3.

Looks good, TC, and I'm assuming you're got a bit more clearance between the tire and the front fender this time??

[Wildkat]

Well now...

How COOL is THAT!?!?!?
Looks really good, TC!
GREAT job!

[prometheus578]

"Well Ken... you know how I am..."

I oohed and aahed at first, like everybody else... but then I took it deeper, as I always do.
I looked at the bike... the color... the artificial scales...
Then my thoughts turned to the home made forward controls... Then to the home made saddle bags and trunk...
The PVC velocity stacks....
The "spin on oil filter adaptor came to mind...
"Who is this guy?"

I then delved into the mind of T.C...
I wanted to become one with his conciousness...
To figure out just what makes this guy tick and how his brain processes and interprets information.

But, the further I got inside his head... the more afraid I got.
I saw things in there best not be described!
Other than clowns and people that can't laugh at their own farts... not too many things really scare me.
T.C. really scares me, Ken.

In my defense, my mother arways told me to share and for some strange reason I envisioned an upcoming comment from MASTER.

[nubee]

way cool

[nubee]

Genius TC !

Where do you get the time to dream all that STUFFup ???
Way COOL !!

[Phoenix Rider]

Hey TC,
Nice job on everything. Very creative on the fishnet stocking thing. I really like what you did with the tank plates. Very well done.
Just a question for you...When you were all done and finally went back inside the house...was your wife still there?
Just kidding Buddy. You did a fantastic job and I'm sure it took a lot of hours to do. You should be proud.

[red bandit]

TC, did the stockings leave an edge of paint when you removed them. And.....can you still wear the stockings?

[CarolynS]

Wow!!

I was expecting something cool, but that is over the top! What a great job, TC!
You'd better give yourself extra time everywhere you go from now on. If you stop somewhere for whatever, you're going to draw a crowd with tons of questions. If I ran into you somewhere, I'd end up bending your ear for an hour.
You deserve one of the classic New England phrases for this-"That looks 'wicked pissah!''. I know, but you're a moderator and can edit that...

In the immortal words of Peter Griffin.

"That's freakin' sweeet!"

Nice job brother.

Rider 'er safe.
