But it does look kind of cool, and I always like to see what folks in other countries do with Harley builds. You can check out more photos here.

That said? I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I don't think it's any big secret that I work for IB, but this is honestly my favorite forum to post on. The crowd is great, and whenever I go down a rabbit hole here, I learn a ton about weird models and cool history, so I wanted to say thanks for that.

Anyway, I'm headed from Seattle to Bellingham, and for the first time, I'm in charge of Christmas dinner. Doing a bacon-wrapped pork loin with a mustard-maple glaze—wish me luck!

What are you doing?

 

Merry Christmas to you
​​​​​and yours, sir. Back in the seventies, I owned a true chopper long bike for a wheel...based on a '53 pan. It was molded, all the usual accouterments of the time. Good memories, but if I was gonna go any direction other than where I am now at the moment, it would be more along the lines of a bobber than a chopper!

 

Of all the bike pics you post (which is a lot) that one, to me, is the prettiest.

Merry Christmas Sir!

 

Oh no...that'd be easy to ride. My panhead had a long front end. I even took my riding test on it...and passed.

 

Now I'm the opposite, got a spare shovel drive train collecting dust and I'm getting the urge to get back to my roots with another lean long bike, something strictly for bar hopping and dig me rides locally. All I'm missing is a frame, some longer tubes for a front end and the ambition to get busy.

 

Get 'er done! Make it real and old school! You got the chops! Paughco frame...

 

The ambition to get busy? good luck finding that. Lol

 

Wouldn't be afraid to ride it but don't think I would want to run to Sturges on it.

Merry Christmas!!!

 

No problems with that. H***, it's even got a front brake. Young folks are gettin spoiled.

 

Ain't that the truth.
