RHS Triumph FTW!

seriously all of these bikes are so visually appealing and unique. so much better than generic street bikes (although i would ride one).

I just sold my 2 Kawasaki Z1 900s so now I have extra money to start my 1986 Honda Rebel 250 bobber project. Going for more of a rat look than a clean look since it will take less effort on my part. It's just for hopping on and cruising down to the beach with anyway. I have the Victory for any real cruising.

I still kick myself for not buying the XS650 complete, running chopper for $700 last year!

Some local bobs and/or rats. Oil leaks and all:

[AIRider]

I've seen this one parked in or around vancouver, and it is a very very tiny bike. The person riding it, must be very small. cool nonetheless.

i know its a rat, but does that mean he cant fix the oil leak, thats just annoying..

[Astronaut3000]

I see one bobber-type bike (flathead HD) and one rat-type bike (flathead triumph).

Why, why can't the owner think of installing an air filter on that?

I took it for a spin last season... Tiny bike indeed —*I felt like a circus bear on it.
He recently sold it and picked up a 50-something Triumph T-Bird.

Here are some pics from the Show & Shine in Gastown:

That's a nice Sportster chopper right there. Dig the old SU carb.

Needs forward controls and a front brake though.

I've done some shooting for Lowside Syndicate, a Baltimore based homebuilt/Chop magazine. short of copying and pasting them all over here check out my blog, linked below in my sig. Poke around a little, you'll see my coverage of Ride to Skate, a huge event in Philly, and a cruise night in Balto that Lowside put on.

[Knock Sensor]

I'd love to do a bigger cc, newer cruiser bike in this style. Yours looks great.

How much work did it take to go from stock to that?

[Mr.Bullet]

It really did not take too much time to get it there.

[mass835]

What is this? Any more info?

[calebgc]

[BuPsychBass]

[Spectaculiciousnes]
