Shimmon,

Yes, this is the same bike in your link I believe. '44 Knuckle. My friend who sent this to me few years ago WAS at Daytona in 2007 and that must be where he saw it and grabbed a picture. He has a flare for alcohol and may have forgotten its origin.

Man...small world, at least for rat bikers. Ride on Smitty !

People like this keep the rest of us sane, but who wants to be sane in a crazy world ?

Looks unsafe to ride. To much $hit blowing around on it.

It just looks like one of those new "blacked out" models to me. With some riding gear and a few new parts on it.

One of the "Rat Bikes" that is at most of the runs where there is a Broken Spoke Saloon
is owned by a friend of mine named Brother Speed Finlay. It has been in a bunch of biker mags. Not my thing but it's different.

He's doing his own thing. Different is good. I enjoy seeing a variety in motorcycles. What will your bike look like in 60 years?

This guy needs a dead rat or some other animal on it, if he doesn't already.
The first rat bike I ever saw, my father-in-law asked if I saw the dead rat
on the front fender. Sure enough when I walked around front, there it was!!
I guess "when it is your bike..."
