Default Just Plain Cool
Me and the OL went out early yesterday for breakfast in Lambertville NJ. Parked on the main drag was this. Owned by a younger guy in his 20s. This bike and this rider give me faith in our hobby. A knuck hardtail... beyond cool..

That guy lives right around the corner from me, I drop by his house fairly often and bullshit with him and his buddies, They're a cool bunch of guys.
Most of them ride old pans and knuckleheads and a couple of old shovels, all hard tails and all kind'a ratty like this one.
I'd way rather be around guys like this than the do rag douchebag, dealership donut munchin' crowd.

I've been seeing a lot of young folks on Harleys lately. Maybe there's hope afterall.

Nice old school bike, from a time when customs could not be built from a catalog.
Twisted will confirm those were also "pull me over" bikes.

That's the "look" the younger kids are after: antique. The old stuff really turns them on. I love that look too. Bring it on.

I would assume split tanks was needed for frame clearance.
