I watched a documentary about the custom car sensation of the 60s---guess what this is the new sensation-the custom bicycle--and guess what it is way more affordable !!! Maybe one of you artists could produce custom T shirts like Ed did I know i would buy them and iam 62 !!

The Beatnik Bandit was my all time favorite when I was a kid.

Speaking of models, does anybody know where to find any bicycle models? I have been looking and have had no luck. I would like to make some Motorized Bicycles models. Would be cool to make models that look like our MB's.

I was more of a Weird-Oh fan myself.

Here's a couple for all you old guys. The first is a Rat Fink that has been hanging on the wall in my garage for a while, signed by the man himself.
The other is a quiz: First prise to anyone who can identify the guy with the flat top haircut sitting in my car. No hints except that he is a hot rodding icon.
