ive done cnc programming on the smaller scale, before i did what i do now. and for me a, prefectionist is my best friend just wish they were a little cheaper so you can get a good haas at home! that would be amazing! i miss my cnc days great feelin seeying something you modeled in real life but modeling it then milling it yourself is a great feeling. now i just model then someone else mills it. i dont miss the money though i make way more now.

i really love the old choppers with no front fender no front brake no marker lights just a headlight and brake light and some ape hangers and some nice spokes and maybe a coffin tank but that depends on the bike. pretty soon ill be working on a 65 sportster which should be very cool when its done.

ya i hope he keeps it old school but i think he wants to put low handle bars on it and all that crap you see on occ. if he wants that i might just have to fight him. it was customized in 1970 with apes a coffin tank and a tucked seat with sissy bar and very very cool rims and i think it had something done with the forks too. it was very very cool.

has it got invader rims on it? like a 6 or 8 spoke chrome wheel? those are badass.........

ya actually those are exactly what it has on them. those wheels were very very ahead of there times cause they look like they should come from todays rim selection and they also look old school because thats what they are.

those rims are worth a ton nowadays if the chrome is good.... is it a hardtail or stock frame? if i had a sporty i would have a sky high sissy bar with a devils fork at the top and one of those old king and queen seats, maybe a set of 10" z-bars or holy bars and a double square headlight setup......oh and coffin tanks kick ass!!! prism tanks are way cool on that style bike and back, way back denvers choppers made an inverted prism tank that was cool........

its a hard tail now and the rims are in perfect condition or very very close to it. those bikes can be made very very cool. i hope he keeps it the way it was or close to it. i really dont like the new choppers well actually i hate everything thats on occ.

yea i really dont like occ....other than cody they have no vision just a bunch of ideas that make ugly bikes shiny.......cody and the old man and rick have good vision and are into the vintage look but man if i see another spider web on a bike in my life im gonna puke on it.....everybody is big on billy lane right now cause his stuff isnt like anybody elses but its still too complicated for my taste....joe martin builds some of the ugliest stufff on the planet, hes got skills but no taste. the best that ever was and ever will be was Indian Larry....I never met him but i have friends who have and from what i read about him and know about the guy bikes were his passion but living came first......i loved his bikes.....

i was gonna say that earlier about indian larry but i figured you would say it. he was truely a biker and he died a biker. do you JR. would ever spoke his own wheels or make something. billy lane is alright but the way i see it is you have to build you own to do it right. my GF's dad has a old honda i believe that he made into a trike he cut down a pinto rear axle and remade it so its a chain drive. for christmas im gonna repaint his tank and fenders for him. its pretty cool but hasnt been finished yet and hes been working on it off and on for like 15 years and hopefully this will get him going on it again.
