like i said before hard tails cause you many hours of enjoyment and using your buddy as the parts pickerupper sounds like just the thing he could handle at this time. just don't waste his obvious talents reengineering the broken pieces.

Well i have been riding my little chop alot, and every were i go somebody always comes and checks it out. I was at the gas station last night, and as soon as i pulled in there was a guy getting gas, when i pulled into the spot he came over and said "that thing is awsome". Hearing comments like that make me feel so damn good. I have had countless people give me thumbs up when i ride by, i even had a cop pull me over the other night just to check out the bike. He asked me if i bought it that way, and i told him that i built it start to finish for around 300 bucks. And to boot it has an antique vehicle (AV) plate, so insurence is super cheap.

must be fun ridding in the rain or that white stuff that is in the background with no fenders. and you definitly don't want to move back much for better weight transfer do you.ha ha ! tough way to get that vasectomy that you weren't planning on getting.
