WELL TODAY WE GOT A CHANCE TO GET ON OUT TO ZEKES'S AND SEE HOW HE IS MAKING OUT WITH ROLAND'S CHOPPER. IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO GET A BIT OF A BREAK FROM THE FRABRICATING PROCEES ON EACH PROJECT. AFTER THE MANY HOURS OF WORKING ON THE BIKE IT IS ALWAYS A RUSH TO STEP BACK AND SEE IT TAKING SHAPE AS THE PAINTER STARTS TO SMOOTH IT OUT AND MAKE IT FLOW AS YOU HAD PLANNED.
I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THE WAY ZEKE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE STRUCTURES I HAD BUILT INTO THE BODY OF THE BIKE. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT WITH THE FIRST COAT OF DEEP BLUE ON IT. THE REAR FENDER HAS TURNED OUT EXTREMELY WELL AND WAS WORTH ALL OF THE HOURS TO FORM IT. IT WILL WRAP AROUND THE TIRE WITH THE ROUNDED CONTOUR MATCHING THE PROFILE OFTHE 200 TIRE AND WILL STAND OUT AND LOOK LIKE SERIOUS BUSINESS.
ON THE FRONT FENDER WE HAVE KEPT IT SIMPLE, AS REQUESTED, BUT DID TAKE THE TIME TO REMOVE ALL OF THE RIVETS IN THE FENDER THAT ALWAYS RATTLE LOOSE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. IT WILL MAKE FOR A MUCH SMOOTHER LOOK ALSO. THE REAR SEAT SUPPORT IS BEGINING TO LOOK LIKE IT IS GROWING OUT OF THE BIKE AND THAT IS JUST THE EFFECT THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
THE OIL TANK ALSO WAS WELL WORTH THE MANY HOURS IT TOOK TO BUILD IT. WITH ALL OF THE PROCRASTINATING THAT I DID IN THE BEGINING.... THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND NOW THAT IT WAS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO!!
NO KIDDIES THIS IS NOT YOUR MOTHER'S BOLT TOGETHER BIKE............IT IS A FULL BLOWN CHOPPER WITH IT'S ................
........VERY OWN.........
......... VERY UNIQUE ..
.....PERSONALITY !
