Max needs a few days of practice welding to tighten up those beads  ;)

I have no problem whatsoever with a bike like that as opposed to some that represent a "show bike" as rideable. Man's stuff is obviously the intersection of engineering and design used to present his craftsmanship in the form of art. He makes no effort to present many of his bikes as "rideable" and his constantly changing platform, style and design is really quite cool. And from all the interviews I've read with the guy, seems quite modest and cool. Definitely someone not caught up in his own infamy.

Sorry for the thread jack, Stoli. Bikes coming along beautifully as all your projects do.

Max seems like a nice guy. I've talked to him at a local show and at an Iron & Air party displaying his BMW scrambler.

What did you do with the two bolts above the battery box on the FCC brat seat?
