All four bikes are awesome. That was a really tough decision. Bakeoff, your build inspired me to sign up for welding classes.

^ love the old scanned  pics!!^

 Seeing as im a new comer to bikes, unfortunately i dont have any awesome old poloroids or anything of me next to my first bike back in the day like Rookster..  I can try to give a little back story as to how i got the bike and stuff though for sure..

A very good buddie of mine aquired this bike I'd say about 4 or 5 years ago now and at the time i was renting garage space with a couple friends and offered to let him keep it there till he was ready to do something with it. I had always thought it was just a neat little bike and kinda had the feeling that someday I would end up buying it.

Fast foward a couple years and I had moved out of the shop i was in and hadnt seen the bike in a long while. It was still being stored at the old shop though and one night i got a call from the kid i would eventually buy it from asking if i could help him load it into a truck and move it to his new house. So we dug it out of the corner it was buried in  and rolled it outside.  That was the first time i got to actually sit on it and really check it out..  I totally fell in love but at the time i just wasnt in the place to take on another project as i was up to my ears in a car build.  Once we dropped it off at his house there it sat for another year or so untill I finally pulled the trigger on it..

this is what she started out as..pretty ruff for sure, and def not too pretty :P





ill stop there for now and add more over the next couple days for sure  :)

dude I can't believe you got rid of that awesome chicken on the tank.

I'm voting for you anyway.

didn't you try and sell this bike at one point?
