The pipes are loud and fast as Billy and Gene can attest to. It did me good to hear them complain several times about the ear shattering exhaust report. Billy, if you and Gene would fix those Shovelheads so they would maintain a more enhanced cruising speed (better than 90 mph), then you would have never be forced to ride behind this light weight monster. It could be an easy twenty pounds lighter by replacing the springer with a set of modern 46mm crotch rocket forks. There is no doubt it would handle better thru these bumpy twisty hills here in Tennessee but as is, it's a blast to ride and I hope you will find it easy on your eyes.

The kicker pedal is of my design and features a quick disconnect. The oil level sight glass is hand blown and has the words "Iron Pimp" poured on it by Billy Velvet who was in a Cobalt Blue mood at the time. Thanks Billy Velvet, it kicks ass and blows observant minds. The trick solo seat pivot "how to" was shown in issue 28 of the Horse and the foot clutch story is featured in issue 32, which should be on the stands now. I hope all of you will check those out if you are into DIY stuff and will also let Geno and Hammer know the third Brit front cover of The Horse belongs to one of my bikes. Just like many things on bikes we all build, sometimes it takes two or three times to get it right.

Amy again................... yummy!

On the subject of doing things right, the next suicide bike I build will have right foot clutch, right hand jockey shift, and use a left hand throttle. It's kinda dumb to clutch this bike with a nearly useless left leg and hell, the unorthodox setup will keep most from trying to ride it away from the owner. It will have a big twin one-off engine in a rigid frame that promises to be, every bit, as quirky and one-off as anything else I've ever done. I'll get started as soon as I find something to do with the excessive amount of bike parts that keep me from focusing on future projects. The shop is already packed, but this, offbeat, big twin project should reveal itself with quickness.

Daytona was very good to us this year, with all three bikes entered in the Rat's Hole placing and doing very well. This one was one of them and is was shot by several magazines, although most were based overseas. Odd enough, nobody from the Horse has ever done anything but walk by this bike. Weird, but I guess it's easy to take somebody like me for granted.

Also, I don't mind telling you that this and several bikes I have, can be adopted as I really need the room. I also need to tool up my lathes and mills a bit more. I have too damned many bikes and too many that need completing. I best get back to work.
