I just started a build thread of my latest creation over on the Morini side of the board, but since my build is a boardie, I thought you all might want to take a peek at it as well.

So hop on over to the other side and have a look:

Many of you have seen earlier photo's of the bike in it's raw, unpainted form, but it's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do. Hope you all like it as much as I do.

Thanks Bill.

I posted some additional pictures of the completed bike so you all can see how the final project came together. The bike is back on the road and is running well. I'll do some final tuning, and I plan to add some stripes and lettering to the tank, but the bike is essentially done.

Here are some fresh photo's of my latest build.

I really liked the color I chose for the build, but it just didn't have that 'finished' looked that I was after, so I added some color to the tank and the bike suddenly has a whole new vibe.

Some before and after shots.

...and one more, this shot shows the bike from the front.

You can see the vintage Schwinn springer front end, and a pair of Pat's boardie bars to finish off the bike. The bike really captures the 'boardie' look.

That is one awesome ride. Just for future reference: don't ever let me ride your bike - you would not see it again for some time. At least not until I got the silly grin off my face. :)

Well if you ride like I do, you'd only get about 50 miles before you run out of gas, and the grins fade fast if you have to pedal home! So I know you'd come home soon enough looking for a refill.

Rich,
Here are some bigger pictures.

Close up of the tank graphics. Now Rich wants matching graphics for the oil tank/tool box and the arrow head shaped stickers for the forks.
