And thanx Ragbak for the hand holding, god knows I need it! BTW, the SB&F struts I got from you have been taking a beating all summer and hanging tough. Thanx again man.

I've just been checking them on your blog, killer bike you built with it!
and those struts (in stead of shocks) rule too!

Right on man

 

[Von Zacho]

thanks!

My pleasure.
I was still swiming in my Dad's nut sack when this bike was around
so it's all pictures and stories to me. The coolest part to me, other than all the wheelies this thing did, was that in it's orange version, the front of the gas tank had two pig's in cop hat fucking each other. I am waiting for a pic of that to pop up but it hasn't happened yet.

Best. Thread. Ever.

This thread is great! I'm glad it's still alive, but a lot of people are missing it. Refer to the first pages of this thread for the true "norcal" style. I know a lot of people get weird about putting bikes/styles in a "box" label wise but this is one build style that is unmistakable to me at least. As with everything it evolved into something different, i.e. diggers, but the true early Norcal bike is easy to spot from a mile away. The past two bikes are cool, but definitely don't belong in this thread. Thanx mainly to loser rules, we have many great examples of the real deal. Again, GREAT THREAD!

Pearls and Ribbons can be the Nor.Cal. "manifesto".



and never forget Cycleology and Century Enterprises, they ruled!!!





but all them start from Doug "the Thug" Orr's scooter, 1967, pic by Irving Penn.
