             Phil,

                 I don't know but, I like it even though I'm not much into choppers. That paint job is something else. I don't suppose you got a shot of the frontend and the other side, did you? ???

                                                Later on, Bill :) ;)

Bill,

Paint is great!
Not sure I like the ape hangers, though.
Looks like a Roadmaster engine in harley or aftermarket rigid frame.

                               Yeah, I don't like "Ape Hangers" myself. You're probably right about the rest too.
                I saw a chopper once, a long time ago, that was a Four with four pipes that went back and
                turned upward like an organ. It was in a magazine and was built by "Sam Pierce". Now,
                normally I'm not a fan of Choppers, but that one was kinda cool. As for a "Hard Tail", that
                would be kinda HARD on my Tail, ya know? ??? ;D ::)

That might be fairly stock, actually.  That's an Indian front end and I think the frame that went with it was a hard tail... going from a memory similar to a rusty colander.  It kind of reminds me of SanFrancisco in the late '60s/early ''70s.  Indians were just old bikes back then, and anything stretched, raked, and/or old was cool.  All they did was go up and down Haight St and into the park.  I doubt any one of those bikes could go anywhere.  Some of them could just barely make a turn.  Seriously.
Dude- your 8 layers are showing!
