Misfit Quadzilla finished-PHOTOS

I will post some photos now.

My Avatar to the left is the frame being built starting last June.

 

I aboslutly LOVE this build. Truely awsome bike. Hat's off s, sir!

 

nicely don Don...one question...where are the farings?


I'm kidding it looks great... how do you register a homemade bike?

 

beautiful! nice lines.

 

Thanks for the compliments!
I realize if I had built a bike that had less rake and rear suspension it would be more popular.
I used to race motorcycles on dirt tracks (57 wins 1st, 2nd, and third place) and ride on the twisty roads of northern California so I know all of the different kinds of bikes.
The chopper is more about looks and more about well....looks.
For me it is sort of an art project. If I wanted a real fast bike that really performs
I would be building it completely different.

Yours truly on a OSSA TT Special (Dick Mann frame)

 

Nice job Don, have you ridden it yet? Would love a pic of it on the road.

 

Yes i built the frame from scratch. My avatar photo IS that frame being built.
A "bobber" would be exactly the same except the rake would be about 34º instead of 42º , that would be the only difference.

 

The build looks cool, should have a nice rumble with that engine and shorty's. Cool Ossa too. We had a flat track (dirt hard pack) we all raced on in the early 70s, (just for fun) about 4 of us had CL350 Honda's... best times ever on two wheels.

 

Awesome bike, great job.

 

Thanks.
BTW "We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, we are now qualified to do anything with nothing."

You would really enjoy the mini series about Capt Richard Sharpe( played by Shawn Bean). British. Very top of the line movies that you might rent at your local video store. They are about this guy that works his way up from an army private to officer by killing lots of people but then finds out the people at the top are idiots. A must see.

 

Looks great! I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with how well it came out looking or how quickly you built it..? Either way, hats off!

 

It took a whole year of hard work. It seems to slow down near the end.
The frame and fitting of the engine is very hard work and then after it is all finished you
have to take the entire motorcycle apart to paint it.
That is the part I don't like.
I have tried to skip some things because I did not think there would be any problem
but I have learned to put every last thing on the bike BEFORE taking it apart o paint it.

The bike we are talking about.

 

I love the smell of tire smoke in the morning

When do we get a pic of a smokin burn out??:vtr2:

 

very nyce...

 

Great job Don!

 

Congratulations on a very nice job!
