OKC, OK
I'm certainly glad that you dole out the pictures in small batches with time between posts ------ otherwise, we'd all go into an 'awesome engineering' overdose!!

Your skills are inspirational! This is the kind of thinking that made American industry the world leader back in the day.
Pride, sweat, and tons of hand work to perfection!

Nice link to a very cool train track motorcycle, but how is it going with your bike?
I'm guessing there's not much chance to ride it this time of year, but have you been getting some shop/fabricating time in?

Getting ready to be torn down so thought I'd get a photo or two in as weather in Vermont is a little uncooperative for test rides at the moment (buttassfrik'n COLD) So a bit more paint, tweak this-n-that, maybe some copper pin-striping. ....come to think of it a little gold leaf accenting might look kinda purdy.
Been meaning to learn myself how they do that anyway.










That last one there would be my test ride tank. At some point in the future the in-frame tank will be ether (A) finished, (B) scraped, (C) Torched in ritual fashion by moon-light. mean while thought I'd at least doll-up the old tank.
