Here are some new pics of my chopper. I made the gas tank and rear fender and did alot of the other work myself. That is a Scottish Claymore sword in the sissy
bar in the back. On the side covering the air cleaner is a mini Scottish Targe (shield) that was made by a guy in Scotland that makes full size replicas so it
took some coaxing for him to make a miniture version. I added the crossed Miniture Claymores because the St. Andrews X is the flag of Scotland and my Family
Crest, I also added the abdge in the center. If you noticed there are a lot of pointed objects on the bike and yes I have caught my pants several times on the
rear fender when the bike is parked in the garage now I put a styrofoam box over the points.

Och, that's a bonny wee chopper ye have there lad! (not the best scottish accent I know, but as close as I can get until I go there next year for my
brother's wedding).
And for the rest of you, here is the St Andrew's saltire (national flag of Scotland) 
... England 
...Wales 
...and Northern Ireland 
...Combined they make up the Union flag that those of you across the pond (with the exception of Don) are more familiar with... 
Internationally you don't see the individual national flags much, except in football (US: Soccer) matches. There is a Harley dealer here in Southampton, I see lots of choppers cruisin' around here when the weather's nice (which these days isn't that often  ) None as "crafted" as yours though. I especially like the sword and
spikes (although here the'd be outlawed due to "pedestrian safety" laws). And those maltese cross lights are just great! I've seen them in
the catalogues but so far never on an actual bike. Might look a bit silly on my Japanese plastic bullet though

Wow! You had me until I saw that bloody Bavarian thing in the background. (I don't hold much of anything out of Bavaria these days.... If you want the
insane details let me know and I'll e them....)
That is really impressive. I have to say I'm not always into choppers but do have great respect and admiration for those that create and design their own. Takes a lot of heart and soul to make them as personal and unique as each rider. Love the work on the gas tank-I've always had an awe of work like that. May you enjoy many miles of happiness, joy, good weather and safe rides on your bike. Oh, not many long rides? No running boards front or back!

Thanks. PCOG, Do you mean the Mercedes? The Mercedes is mine. It is getting old but it has sentimental value to me. I have just been looking at a new 4wd
double cab truck that I am thinking about buying. My son has a BMW SUV.
SF: tHANKS FOR THE FLAG PICS. If I am not mistaken St. Andrew was hung on an X shaped cross upside down until he passed. When I was a kid I used to take bicycles and customize and chop them much like the pic you once posted. The Gold Highlander tags on the rear swingarm came off of a Toyota Highlander SUV. |

St Andrew was executed on such a cross, yes. However the modern world has found new uses for such a structure: if you put the phrase "St andrews
cross" into a search engine, you will get a lot of "adult entertainment" equipment
 which I think is a subject best NOT posted here

That to me is the danger of the internet for young children. They can put something totally innocent into a search engine and get all kinds of stuff.

Well, maybe I'll over look it THIS TIME! Since it's old and you don't go around bragging...... (Just teasing) Personally I prefer a Lexus for that
"class" of car.

Ya know we had nothing but higher class cars Jags XJ6-XJ8 and S-Class, Mercedes, and Lexus and this year we bought the top of the line Toyota Camry and I
don't see any difference between that and the Lexus we had. Same car for much less. Just like Nissan is Infinity and Honda is Acura. I saw this suit in an
article online that cost 30,000 dollars. If I was a billionaire I wouldn't buy a suit for that much. How much difference if any can there be between a
3,000 dollar suit and a 30,000 dollar one? That Mercedes has almost 150,000 miles on it. My son hit a dear with it a while back and I replaced the entire front
end, the hood, and the entire cooling system myself. I used to work on all my muslce cars back in the 70's and thought a car is a car but cars are more
like computers now and there is no room to work on anything. In the 70's everything was cut and dry not you have to remove 10 things to get at one. They
are not made to work on yourself like they used to be. They want you to go to the dealer. Gas station mechanics just can't afford all the different
computer programs and codes for every car. Big arms and not much room in engine = problems. Not having the special tools that the dealer has I had to make my
own makeshift stuff to get at things. My daughter has a Mitsubishi Eclispe. You should see me try to fit in that car. LOL

Thanks, my neighbor has a young boy that loves to sit on it and make the motorcycle noise. A future biker no doubt.

"There can be only one" Hey I know EXACTLY where that comes from! Does that mean the sword is used to "eliminate" the others?
 that you find? And then you take on their powers....... 
Now you've got my imagination going....

This has nothing do with bikes but I thought this video by the same person (Chaz Marie) is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oey1McId6Jo This is for all my friends here and in my life and for the ones who
are no longer in my life.
