I can see why he is dressed like an undertaker. Let someone try to ride the bike, I didn't see any brakes at all...
unique style for sure

Ya gotta appreciate that it wasn't another "one off" custom chopper that looks just like every other custom out there. Just don't slide back on the seat or you're gonna turn those pretty white tires brown.

Brakes? ...I kept wondering where the seat was! Then I realized that I was looking at it backwards. Hopefully he won't be wearing a swallowtail coat when riding. I'd rather look at him AND his bike than Paul Sr. any day! Except for those sox. love....jill

Jill, the sox keep his pants leg out of the chain.
The workmanship is absolutely stunning!!!
As far as no brakes.....it's a show bike...I figure about a minute and a half with your foot on the pegs and the engine running and your gonna want off, like really quick

I think the solid brake line runs along the bottom to the front wheel, I am wondering how to turn? The handlebars go down into the gas tank, but the fork piece seems solid, maybe the linkage runs through it and just the wheel turns?

It steers by that chrome bar that follows the fork. The pivot point is a head assembly at the end of the black fork.looks like the wheel can turn about 10 degrees, I guess thats what the kink at the end of the fork is for. The fifth and sixth photo show it. God knows how stable such an assembly would be.

Thanks Ryan....I didn't see anything mentioned about that friction brake under the seat. I guess that means Jon's right about "Brakes by Fred" (Flintstone that is)
Brian, thanks for posting the link because that's one of the most interestng machines I've seen in quite awhile. I was wondering why they didn't show any pix of someone actually riding it (unless it truly is one of these "all show, no go" machines which would be sad).
p.s. Leave it to Joey to know an indian when he sees one.
