Was going through some photos from our trip to Rolling Thunder in 2008.
Thought you might enjoy these pics of Milo's Ratbike.
Underneath all that mess is a Harley.
Not even a case of Pledge would help.
I'm in the second pic, on the right, wearing my Viet Nam vet's hat.
Milo's from Roseburg OR I believe. That bike is always a topic of conversation at whatever bike event it's at. I know it's been in at least one bike magazine. It's gained a few items since I last saw it (1997). It's a beauty!
That’s Milo. He is out of Roseburg Oregon and runs a tool/ machinery store. I never did get his obsession on picking up stuff. I do know that everything he has strapped, wired and welded to his bikes has a story. It’s sort of his “keep sake” collection. He keeps the bike very well running and I have seen him at many different runs on that thing.
In the first photo he is the guy in the red Oregon Tool tank top.
