Yea, the workmanship is impressive,, the choice of that word? Ehhh,, Im not down with that at all,, It needs a mud flap to keep that motor from eating road crap.

I agree, it is a good looking bike & I like some of the things he did with it, but the wife would not like the paint... ::)

But with all the others listed on there, I really was kinda digging this one...

The owner comments the picture: "pregnant dog, that's me he he" ;D I think it's kinda cool though, it's ofcourse just an ironic thing, meaning she's raw, I would think..

Btw - did you notice the Bridgestone 160/80-15 ? Im not sure what he did to make it fit, but it's on the stock rim..

And yes that other bike is awsomely cool.. He fitted a rear rim to the front hub..

SP, I dunno what size the stockers are, but I took a business card & laid it up across the front wheel & marked it, then went to the rear & ( no measuring, just eyeballs) Ima say rear is about 15% greater diameter than front,,The sidewall height is serious on the front, Im thinking its a hair more than the rear, based on my business card measurin stick.
Maybe you could find the guys FB page? Mite be able to find more info online, maybe contact him,,

I don't know, some years ago I saw a car driven by an attractive young woman with a window sticker saying "pregnant dog on wheels" another series of cars driven by attractive young women carried stickers that said "0 to pregnant dog in 6 seconds" , whatever turns you on I guess.
