HeathersWheels Posted April 15, 2008 #1 Posted April 15, 2008 Just thought I would share some pics. We came across this rusty bike at the Jamestown dealership while out on our countryside ride. If you stare at it long enough you see all sorts of clever things... like the gas can gas tank. http://helmetspeakers.741.com/images/adventure.2008/4.13.2008/100_1517x.jpg http://helmetspeakers.741.com/images/adventure.2008/4.13.2008/100_1520x.jpg

halfwitt Posted April 15, 2008 #3 Posted April 15, 2008 Hey Yammer Dan - Isn't that the 1st Gen you picked up in Balto last year?
Yammer Dan Posted April 15, 2008 #4 Posted April 15, 2008 wait I'll go look. Could be the "Blue Beast" Or "Black Beauty" or the "Parts Bike" A little tinkering and ready for the road!!
Squidley Posted April 15, 2008 #5 Posted April 15, 2008 heather. that kinda reminds me of my first gen! lol just jt Damn! You beat me to that punchline JT
Redneck Posted April 15, 2008 #7 Posted April 15, 2008 Yep you don't have to worry about stretching that chain. Must have some engineers in common with the first gens.
hipshot Posted April 16, 2008 #8 Posted April 16, 2008 after studying this "machine" really closely, i have determined it's origin. it is home made, from odd parts and pieces of old cultivators, plows, maybe a washing machine or two, and apiece of trace chain. hand crafted by "rube goldberg"! lol just jt

HeathersWheels Posted April 16, 2008 Author #10 Posted April 16, 2008 I had to knock a few cobbwebbs out of my head and think a minute on the rube goldberg reference... ... ... http://helmetspeakers.741.com/images/forumAds/400px-Rubenvent.jpg
spear Posted April 16, 2008 #11 Posted April 16, 2008 Will you get a look at the size of that Guardian Bell hanging beneath the front of the engine? Man, that oughta keep ALL sorts of bad spirits at bay.
hipshot Posted April 16, 2008 #12 Posted April 16, 2008 if you 'll look real close at the left side of the "machinery", you will see several "wrenches", were welded in place . just for good measure. old "rube", didn't forget anything! lol just jt
Ozark Posted April 19, 2008 #13 Posted April 19, 2008 Yep you don't have to worry about stretching that chain. Must have some engineers in common with the first gens. Mike, you know we don't have chains on the first gen, but that steel butt pad sure looks a lot like the 2nd gen offering!! :rotf::stirthepot::stirthepot:
