> Lots of funky bikes of mixed ancestry cobbled together out of
> bits and pieces. A totally minimal iron head sportster bobber
> (and a big collection of equipment violations); a vintage Indian,
> a Harley 45 side valve, a shovel head with enough copper tube
> plumbing for a steam engine, a BSA thumper and dozens more.
>
> My fave was a modern Bonneville motor and drive train in
> a hardtail frame. It was all shiny black paint and chrome,
> a beautiful creation.
>
> I took my chopper up there (on a trailer) and it held
> the distinction of sticking out furthest into the street due to my extra
> long springer forks. It's got a strange symbol in chrome just behind
> the pillion, and so my bud (like an idiot) starts telling people it's
> an ancient Chinese ideogram for "fuck you" and sure enough the word
> spreads around and soon people were walking over wanting a T-shirt with
> the same symbol. It was like a scene from South Park.
