Where is everyone #5

12 here. Nap will be coming soon as duty calls at about 0345 tomorrow

 

Happy easter, currently sitting on the side of NM-4 in Jemez Springs, NM waiting for a crane in the morning.

 

I’m sure you remember the big “chopper” craze a number of years ago? Sadly it was new school chopper, that’s why I built my ground up EBay bike with the 113 Ultima El Bruto engine, new doesn’t move me lol. Then the “Bagger” craze came along and is still here from what I’m seeing, and those choppers built for $25,000 are now $7500. Looked at one today on the puter. And like yourself, I like seeing hands on true custom design, I just prefer oldskool lol.

 

Cherish these moments....!!! That smile speaks volumes!! Congrats Dad!

 

Well, I can tell you how a 650 Triumph Tiger on a rigid frame with 5 spoke mags, king / queen seat, coffin tank, drag bars, and a 21” over springer rides...... ROUGH on the rear tire and smooth on the front. And my Rigid??? Decent on the front, and the rear? In the words of my great uncle..... it’ll throw ya up and smack your ### twice before ya come back down. But we don’t exactly have any super slabs around here lol. Not smooth anyway.

 

Lol!! Ain't nobody around can tell you you ain't cool ridin' that! OldskoolereasyridernWV!!!

 

She’s precious. I wouldn’t trade these moments for anything

 

I like the backyard builds. It’s usually a reflection of the builder’s personality.

I look at the old school choppers, the bobbers, the cafe racers, the scramblers, the cholos and marvel. It doesn’t have to be my style for me to appreciate it. I like em all. As long as they’re built, not bought.

Here’s one of my favorite vids...old Chopper Dave riding with some young guns through NYC.

Bad arse. Jockey shifting is the equivalent of 2 sticking in the trucking industry.

 

Well I figured a brand loyal guy such as yourself, would make sure the colors were correct before putting the pic out on the interwebs....just say'n. ..haha

Please excuse my poor Photoshop skills.
I flunked coloring in 2nd grade.lol
And I'm trying to get the ham off the grill and the youngest just arrived with his girlfriend and I'm trying to keep track of my beer supply..lol
