Default my new ride, 65 XLCH rigid project

Good morning, been sometime since my last post. I live just east of Baton Rouge and on August 13 we had some major flooding. Our house took on 4 feet of water and my garage 5 feet. We lost all our belonging , two vehicle and my two bikes. Let the insurance company have the bikes. Came out better that way.

Im here to show you my new ride and project. 65 XLCH rigid

Hey Scuba, I was thinking the same thing ! It looks like it, crawled out of the Flood ! The oil tank has to go ! The old 65 Horseshoe / Kidney shaped tank would look Great !

Looks like a shovel oil tank to me. That bike should keep Vince busy for a while!
