Default No poser problem here, boys

Bet the owner of this bike can spin a few good yarns.

Friend sent me the photo a while back, taken on one of his jaunts but didn't know the model or owner.

Any ideas ?

Needs a little duck tape on the seat maybe. I like the bulb horn though. Simple, no wires to snake.

One of the best rat bikes I've seen, but I still don't get it (the attraction, that is).

Trash truck, not rat bike. That would be too kind. I wonder how that thing can even run.

You are so right brother. I'd ride next to him anytime and be proud to do so.

Sooooo ... where do you think he keeps all the wax and shine up stuff to keep that baby lookin' so good.

Btw; if you look in my garage you'll find two easy to care for black engine bikes with minimal chrome and that's just for contrast.

I'd rather ride than polish any day ...
