Man that is a LOT of chrome to polish Chuck! Denny would probably lose his mind on that one!

Bwahaha! Not sure how I missed this one the first time around.


If this refers to me then I have only one thing to say.


I will not seek, nor will I accept, the nomination of my party for president.

No offense, if you want a retro chopper, ya really should build as much of it as you can.

I did give some thought to building one but after putting about 30 miles on a buddies hard tail, I bought the WG..Ya call me whoosy.

Not going to get into anything that might resemble politics here, but yeah I could GAF what Brucelette and that bunch of Hollywood whackadoos lost in their fantasy world think. I have to exist in the real one and it damn sure 'aint all rainbows and cupcakes.


As far as hard tail frames, pretty to look at and hell to ride for any time. Buddy had a knuckle on a Sante frame. It was the most comfortable ridged frame I ever rode and that was only because it had a 240 on the back that absorbed a lot. I'll pass.

Got time to kill so I'll post up some pics of my repair.




















A little anti seize for next time!








Effing kids need to cut out all that bailing twine!

I didn't buy anything except a support shirt and a chili dog. Almost bought a side hack but it just needed too much work.





They might just be tucked up in there somewhere Lou.
Almost bought a side hack but it just needed too much work ... Did ya ever ride one Tracy. It's really a different experience. :>(

Nice Lou. I see you guys prefer the nylon baling twine. I hate that stuff. It just never goes away and ends up getting wrapped around any kind of mowing machine. PITA to deal with on a rotary mower..

I have not Larry. Maybe I could get some tips from GenghAl?


This was an older open one that wasn't very fancy to start with and needed a LOT of work. I had no problem walking away from it.

Yep .. I'd say is our "resident expert" ... I helped a guy put a hack on a Triumph 650 years ago ... Quite a project ... It wasn't mu cup of tea.
