Good Friday Frank!

This is Mike's bike. Built by Mike Lipscomb at the Booby Trap Cycle Salon in Gainesville Florida!

Its quite refreshing to see a fender like this with a 18 incher underneath it

Tuesday Tankday!


and a set of tanks which are waiting for a next project (in the next 50 years ;-)


unfortunatly, they're 5 gallons, and a bit too wide for my taste... maybe a cut and weld in the near future!?

Clueless

Don't know why, but this one speaks to me! Even though the tank is too big, it has a pretty good vibe.
It was from a thread on the jockeyjournal, and it is probably been done up way different now

my dad

is a globetrotter at heart, here he is in the desert in 1963. The car is a 12hp (!) Citroën 2cv from 1952.
It was an amazing journey of 24400 kilometers (15161 miles), 46 flat tires, being shot at by bandits and driving thru villages that had never seen a car before! (remember, it was 1963!) He and a friend drove from Rotterdam, the Netherlands all the way to Tibet! Crossing Germany, Joegoslavia, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India and all kinds of important historical places. The one that stands out is the Taj Mahal in India. Convincing the guards that they needed the car battery to operate the camera, they managed to get the car inside the walls to take a picture!
He still has the left front door as seen on the pictures where they painted the route on. That and a huge load of color slide's.

Here he is! And only 22years old at the time!
The car they left home with had 87000 miles on it when they left! After the epic journey they got to the Dutch border, the cops didn't allow them to drive into the country because it was worn to bits and on 4 bald tires!

One of the absolute highlights of the trip. Try to get your car pictured in front of the Taj Mahal today!Sad story is, he is now battling cancer for the last 2 years and also the main reason why I don't post much motorcycle projects from myself.
Please get well dad, i love to hear the stories of this trip and the many others

Tuesday Tankday!

This time a tank which I bought many years ago, and low and behold what I found on the cover of a 1974 Street Chopper! It seems to be the exact same paint style, which I'm sure the PO of my tank decided to paint his in the exact same way!

My old Wassel banana tank, unfortunatly no signature of the painter, therefore I think it is a copy of the coverbike.



Awesome paintwork by Jack Thomas, it is more detailed then my tank

Love those nice flowing XLR pipes, nice and round
