For some reason yesterday morning I was up at 6am.
I did a quick scan through craigslist and was surprised to see this.
Without thinking I texted the ad over to my friend Spinner,
who was looking for another bike project.
A couple hours later he showed up with it.
Way more bitchin up close.
Someone had put a dirt bike front end on it.
Spinner had actually ridden it all the way from Ramona,
about 40 miles or so,
with only a couple minor oil leaks to show for it.
The thing even had a registration and working lights.
While it's the perfect bike to chop up,
it's also the perfect commuter bike.
What was I thinking passing it on!?
Well at least it went to a good home.
After looking at these shots of the garage,
I guess I don't really need another project.
