Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

The 2nd one looks rediculous to me. Seated way too high and highway pegs almost above the engine!
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

seriously, this reminds me of a "deep" conversation we all got into after a club meeting the other day...it used to be about what YOU built as opposed to what you "bought" i.e. OCC and the like....but of course....that was back when we thought making $10/hr at your job ment you had arrived !....
Some of the "junk" we built..it is a wonder we were not permanantly hurt......those were the days

You got that right! The way I butched front ends together or hacked and rewelded frames the wheels I used that were never intended to do what I made them do! Slap a blown motor back together with used parts that had worn out so I could ride. I did some crazy stuff in my early 20s.

Highway pegs? Back then, bikers were tough and rode with ourr feet on the pipes!
