Looks great, how about explaining it. Did you buy it that way, or did you make it? How about some details about the engine?

Hmmm! a Green Indian interesting concept for a boardie, but I still dig it!

More art ;-)

I have found a white tirepaint, based on gum elastic with chloride, ordered a can and will try it, some people reported good tests...
and it will become a bit yellow-ish by the time, but that is what we want, don't we?
Will keep you guys updated, cause there are no 28" x 2.35 white tires on the market...

I have a whole thread about this build, John has posted the link here.

I had the engine running 3-4 times, but before I put ATF in the engine and do a testride I decided not to bring this bike on the road...
It is on the one hand the weight and the underdimensioned brakes and bicycle tires, and on the other hand....I know it sounds funny....but I think this bike looks much better in my living room... ;-)
And I will never get it streetlegal here in germany...

There will be a future build with motorcycle brakes and motorcycle tires, and a decent engine, V2 Briggs or so...I am already collecting parts!

Will the future build hang over the fire place? (LOL!)
