Spent the last 4 days riding GA/TN/NC with friends. Passed this guy while out on hwy 129, then chatted with him at Deals Gap resort.
Yes, that's a car alternator ... and he described the bike as, 'highly modified'. heh
The aux gas tank on the back was actually a small beer keg ...
I wish I had taken a pic of the array of handlebar accessory gadgets. Cant imagine how he could see the roadway over them all.
