Dave, went by Buddy's today. I forgot to give him the damn spacers Saturday. He's already started, smoothed out my ugly-assed cuts and got alot of it
lined up. Speed bumps are gonna be a bitch on this bike. I spent over an hour over there, dude wouldn't let me leave till he showed me his trike. Then I
didn't wanna go, that thing is bad ass. He said I could take some pics this weekend when I pick up the frame, so I'll post em here then. Thanks again
for introducing me to him, dude's cool as hell.

Fukin-A! He called tonight and asked if I could come over and take a look. Shit I didn't think it was done. He's worried about the chain clearing the
seat tube but he said to mount engine and if it rubbed to bring it back and he'd get it right. Even the gussets look cool as hell, nothing fancy just
slick.
I gotta work late tomorrow but Thursday I'll get the front-end on it. |

Thanks ya'll, it's really startin to come together. Buddy retired from building so this was really just a favor. He thinks alot of Dave and was really
into the idea we had for this bike. There are very few chopped, bobbed, customized Jap bikes like these around this area. And I think Dave is the only one who
actually rides his on a regular basis. All you see here are HDs and late model Japanese bikes.
This is what Buddy normally builds. Took me 3 tries to get the damn pics up...

the realy cool part about buddy's trike is he built the whole damn thing , chassis as well as girder front end , and that front end is stainless , he is an
awsome fabricator , thats why i called him to see about him doing ridins frame , i knew it would be done right . i aint even in the same zip code as buddy with
my fabrication abbility's , hell me and ridin just stood there drooling when he took us in the shop , he has all the cool machines i wanna learn to use and
a few i just wanna borrow LOL

Max, that would be cool bro. Buddy builds some bad ass machines. Kreekit wants a trike when the kids are grown. She thinks it would be cool as hell to tour
around on a VW-powered trike. Fine with me.

Yep, that's the way it was mounted for the Trump. That whole wheel came off a late model Speedmaster I got from a guy on the Jockey Journal. When I get my
front wheel set up and get a tire for it I'll have the back one flipped.
