chicks dig old bikes.

I've got a big fenced in yard and a garage- you're welcome to camp here. Nice 13 mile ride to Southworth ferry from my place. (VME member too.)

I've camped on Orcas and Lopez. Live down in Kitsap.

Yea, I think I'm going to stick with sensual... let's see, from Merriam-Websters: ...relating to or consisting in the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of appetite- check. ...devoted to or preoccupied with the senses or appetites- check. ...voluptuous- check! ...deficient in moral...

Would like to hit Backfire as well. Up for Vashon and Kitsap rides. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1186632322

Looks like a great bike to start with. I think dotheton.com is a pretty good place to start for inspiration. ;-) Are you going to go monoposto with it?

Thanks all. The mirrors do stick out- though I don't think as much when I'm on the bike. ;) It is a steel BCR tank and seat. It's based off the Armadillo tank. I am super happy with the way they came out- I really like the organic lines of Benjies designs- very sensual. :D

I think the other builders on this site are amazing- so much creativity. You guys really inspired me to find my way through this build. For this bike I tried to...

Okay, given this whole thread is and will be a euphemism... petcocks are a pain in the ass. ;-)

Wicked. Looking forward to see what you do with it.

Is this offensive? Would it be less offensive or more offensive if the guy was done mowing? Does the pubic hair titillate or would the lack of pubic hair be more titillating? I am curious to know. Full disclosure, hand up high, I am a pig.

You are making me miss my CB360. Looking good!

I picked up a set of Raask from Omar. I am generally happy with them except for the brake lever arm. Mine broke along the splines- seemed kind of weak and brittle. I fabbed up a new one using stock brake peddle- much beefier. I also added an adjustable stop so I can set the peddle in a...
