Missed the dragon bit it's been done , guy out in Colorado Springs made his name back in the late 60's doing this over the top all fiberglassed dragon body on a chopper that shot flame from the mouth, his nick was Dragonman of course, goggle him theres still pics running around.
I might be wrong, his name is Mel Bernstein

This guy had a pan done up but funny thing he's a Mel too, gotten away from bikes for the most part and got big time into guns & paintball. Had a guy in KC did up a sporty with the dragon them also, place used to be called Doug's Choppers before they busted him for running an underage **** ring, he always had some jailbait floating around the shop.

Sounds like the same guy then , he got big into old military stuff including a light tank and renting out auto weapons at the range on his ranch. Used to buy a lot of my shovel big bore stuff from him when in KC.

I have stickers of Barny the purple dinosaur on my bike. When confronted at traffic lights, I go into song "I love you, you love me, we're one happy fam-uh-lee with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too" and the anger seems to drift away and all is harmonious in the world once again.
LMAO....the only thing that would be cooler is Barney with a SKULL for his head......
