Here are a few more pics. The guy had wrenches and sockets stuck in every nook and cranny. Homemade jumper cables, corncobs by the bedpan. Stuff everywhere. He was a cool dude too. He was very funny.

The older I get, the more "rest" stops I seem to need. I'm thinking the "bed pan" passenger seat may not be such a bad idea.

Say what you want about the seat, but, somewhere a farmer is riding his tractor in Harley comfort!

Hard to beat a good rat bike. History worn on it's sleeve. Awesome. I hope I age that well, or at least as functionally.
