Cool wheels. Its hard to believe that people just have these old 2 stokers just rusting away in a shed. I say get'em out dust'em off and ride mo-fo ride!
I have this picture on my wall I got from my mother sometime back and just realized it an original Ray Dirgo from 1978. Its of a Ringling Bros. Circus novelty stand. It was drawn for the employee who worked the stand who happened to be a friend of my mother. I never knew who Ray Dirgo was untill NBC Nightly News did a story on him.
Ill be happy if it goes ringa-ding-ding. Right now its making sitting noises. I need a set of mercury sticks to sync the carbs and a battery. Its a 1976 GT-185 Suzuki.
Killer of giants threatens us all
Mountains of madness standing so tall
Rising so proudly they have no where to fall oh the killer of giants the killer of giants......
That's kinda what I had in mind. Hope I didn't screw it up. Sorry it took so long to add this, been in and out with my mother in the hospital.
There are some yellow jackets building a nest on my snow blower so I figured I would have a little fun with them.
Oh yeah, they're all in on it together. The dryer is probably in on it too. I think it was the furnaces idea.
