Here are the latest pics from the On Two Wheels campaign. The Only thing left to do is add the tail pipes, ran out of 3/16 rod, other than that I’m done. Paint came from Tamiya, clear green X-25 over gold X-12. Decals are from a old car kit. Except for half the motor, most was scratch built and some spare parts. The rear tire came from a old 1/12 scale car kit. The forks and handle bars are also built using chrome foil wrapped around them. Notice no handle bar clutch, jockey shift. There are more construction pics are in my gallery.













Thanks for viewing and now I'm off to ride in the wind

WOW! That is coming along beautifully Joe. Very impressive. Looks like there is not to much more to go. What kind of pipes are you going to put on it?

Thanks Animal, just two short “S” pipes. I had made some longer at first, but they just did'nt look right.

You could put OCC (Orange Count Choppers - Discovery Channel), on the run with this one!

Love the rake on the front forks, the pagan green, and the fat back tire.

Cool---that says it all Joe!

I have to agree the short s pipes would look the best. Is the clutch on the joky stick? I don't see a foot pedal for in on the left side. I have been trying to figure out a hand clutch to fit with the jocky stick for quite some time now. I have been trying to rig up something like this on my bike since I don't have a left leg.

Very, very impressive! Well done, have a virtual beer on me (they're great, you can drink them and still ride)

Hey Dave, theres a clutch pedal (left foot) on a real bike. Onced pressed in you shift with the jockey stick or what it's mostly called, "Suicide Shifter" and you shift with our left hand. Pretty crazy...I still have to add my pedal in. If you want, I have some nice catalogs that you can have. You may find some things you could use. Don't need them anymore, I no longer ride. PM me your address if you like, also have some cool magazines.

If we could get every member to toss in $5 bucks we would have a down payment on a model theme OCC bike, now that would awesome :-) :-) :-)
