Snakebite

I have no timeline for this chopper project. Timelines only lead to frustration or haste. On time is when I get there. I got that line from McDermott, so if you are out there in cyberland or cheeseville, you were good for something. Normally I would buy necessary shit for the project before I buy frivolous trappings but this one I could not resist. My first Ebay purchase for the bike arrived today and I am stoked. It is a five foot long Cobra hide with a head on it. One may think WTF for? Well, I just had to. I am thinking of running it down the center of the tank, upholstering it into the seat, and continuing it down the rear fender. Funny as it is, I don't even have a tank or a seat for it yet. Just so I don't sound like a complete jackass, I did actually purchase a gasket set and a parts manual for the bike before anything else. That's it for now. I will post again once I have actually done some more work.

you are a very strange boy.
perhaps that's why we get along so well...two peas from the same pod or cylinder. Big Daddy

You are definitely two peas in a fucking pod! I bet Ted & Julie could work wonders with your snakeskin! Can't wait to see the finished product!

BTW...LOVE the picture, MOCK UP 1!!! You must have a great photographer! LOL!
