Hey guys here's. My ds7 build (r5 jugs etc) still need to fix fork chrome. Possible bottom rebuild soon too. Not everyones cuppa tea. That's why I built it. I'll have to hit up gman the local guru to give it a tune up.

I meant the raccoon tail hanging off the handlebars, I've seen a lot of the Scooter boys/Mods hanging similar things off their bikes, often on the end of an aerial or similar.
Then again, that was back in England, a long time ago.

I like the overall stance of the bike - remember; rust is the enemy ;-)

I like it too.

Nothing can explain the raccoon tail, and nothing need to. but what inspired the wheel colour choice?

It is when you get into a niche hobby or lifestyle - your bike fits into the RD/RZ/two stroke world, which has pretty "enthusiastic" devotees :-)

Some things i like and some not so much but i'll say, not bad, not bad at all bosslock, your bike and you can do as you wish. It's come a long way since i last saw it and I know you have had lots of trials and tribulations in building this bike and good on ya for giving it a go. best i come over and ride it then go over what needs doing to get it to run and ride right.

Dragging you into our weird little world Bosslick, how's the bike going?
Enjoying the smell of two stroke, and turning dead dinosaurs into Fun?
