I call this one Stripper , this was to be my 2nd entry for the Challenge..... kinda late, but here it is - Cherry bomb chopper frame, scratched forks, handlebars, tank & modified body, gold tinted springs,smoke tinted windscreen & headlights, modified Vette grill used in rear, modified cherry bomb chopper seat .... flake & fogged paint; a bit of wiring ( * special thanks to Britboy/Harley ) ....... It has a Jockey shift, that isn't on yet.I went for the cool factor, not realism ...... I have no idea how a guy would get past the pipes, without serious 3rd degree burns , or how he would steer with the handlebars so close ; but what the hell !!!!

Happy to help Rick, and since when has a show vehicle got to be useable anyway? It's all about the "Look" and that has it!

One of the great things about models, is that they don't always have to be feasible. They don't have to be ride able (drive able) After all they spend the better part of their lives on a shelf. They are a form of art work, and art work is objectionable. I have no objection to this at all. I love the metalflake. Very cool, nice 70s vibe, it's almost as if you are stuck in the 70s. HAHA Rick (we all know you are) It has that AEE flavor. Nice one Rick!!!
(terrific, now I'm the only one that hasn't finished my challenge bike)
