Another excellent project rolls out of the 'Magic Bus'.
Great pix, Joey. They show what a good fabricator you are.
As someone who appreciates fine crafsmanship, I can say you're high on my list.
Give us a 'Ride Report' soon.

Very, very nice ride Joey. Great work and craftsmanship. I liked looking through all the pictures of your build and see you using parts from old bikes in true Atomic Zombie style. But in the end when the bike was clean up and painted no one would ever think it was made from old scrounged bike parts. Keep up the good work.
I think we need to see a picture of you riding it now.

The two words that kept coming out of my mouth were "insane" and "clever". There was a third one, started with a d and ended with an 'ayum', but this is a family board. ;)
You got mad skillz, Joey, big kudos go to you!

Thanx guys, your kind words are mucho appreciated! I'm just trying to emulate the much more talented & skilled builders here who have set such a high standard. Most recently, that builder was "nzvet" (Steve Jennings), whose INCREDIBLE machines really inspired me to try harder this time around. I'm not even in the same league as builders like him (& many others here), but they do give us less experienced builders something to shoot for!
Bunk, I don't actually ride these things, I never learned how. They're just for show! ;)

Bunk, I don't actually ride these things, I never learned how. They're just for show! ;)The fun part is in the building. I've got more builds than I've got room for, but I enjoyed designing, fabricating parts and building every one of them...!!

I've had 4 builds, one that operates remains, the 5th is 80% complete. When I finish the frame for the sixth, one will have to go. I have room for only 2 complete rides. The fun part, like Richie says, is designing and fabricating parts.

I WAS of course, joking about not riding these things! :p
Like you guys, I've got more crap than I have room for, too! But unlike you, the joy is not in the building. For me, the fun part is taking the pix! (And riding & showing 'em off, of course!) :D
BTW, Richie, here's your ride report / review: http://bikesandtrikesandmore.com/reviews.html
I hate it when that happens: http://joeywallace.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!9D0D4DF6F50AAFC2!1658/?&_c02_owner=1&_c02_vws=1

BTW, Richie, here's your ride report / review: http://bikesandtrikesandmore.com/reviews.htmlYOW...!! That's quite a color for your font, Joey. I had cataract eye surgery last Tuesday and I had to put on the UV glasses they gave me in order to read it...!! :eek:
Great report.....Thanx.
Next, we need some video of you riding.
I hate it when that happens:

Cheers.......Richie :cool:
