Title: an AVL bobber in Dubai
Post by: wokka on November 13, 2012, 03:08:08 pm

A German buddy of mine in Dubai, with OCD when it comes to his bike.

All done by himself with jewlers tools and a dremel over 3 months

And then a blessing/luck ceremony in the pits at gulf bike week, just before the judging

That is what we call "rolling art."  Nice.  Yeah, iron barrel.  What a beauty. Dig the air filter.

Okay, I gotta ask.
What's with the green chile peppers hanging under the headlight?

Very unique work on that bike.

Wish i had that steady of a hand with a dremel.  Nice work; the effort really shows.
