Owner of a new bar & grill here wants to put a bike in front of his place and have a skeleton rider. He was complaning to me that he couldn't find anything for less than 4K, so I told him that any jerk can go buy a bike, why not show some class and put a piece of "art"(?) in front of his place. He liked the idea, and wrote me a check. Started yesterday, now I get to go scour the iron pile at the yard to finish it. A friend of mine here runs "PW Choppers" so I enlisted his help, and tools, and know-how. (hey, I'm buyin the beer!) I dig this sign biz somedays.......
More in-progress pics to follow....

Good start, Steve. It looks like you have some real definate ideas about the project. More than just another bag of bones.

looks like the skeleton theme is going to cross over into the appearance of the bike too. Looks like an awesome & unique showpiece is going to come out of that idea of yours. Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Yah i really want to see this thing when it's done.
I've got a Chopper Magazine, somewhere here, that has a crazy futuristic skeleton riding this crazzy bike , it's got a small block chevy engine in it i think.... it's all junk welded together., but it looks really cool... If i can find it i'll post it.... maybe it will be of some inspuration

Ah so thats how they build Harley Davidson's, no wonder they're all dog slow and don't go round corners. Nice Idea Steve looking forward to seeing the finished job.
