    Great motorcycle, but it looks more like a Harley to me. Whatever brand, I'm sure your grandson will get a lot of miles out of it.

    That's pretty neat Robert. Just do a couple more, and you'll be ready to go to work for "Orange County Choppers".

    Norman, Robert is on the West Coast, so maybe West Coast Choppers?

    Robert - Great Job!! And, welcome to SMC.

    Fantastic Rob! I'm sure the grandson will love it! It should last for several generations!

    That's awesome! My daughter would love something like that. She's 19 months and she already insists on sitting on my bike every time we walk past it.

    Now if you painted it green and put a big K on the tank, then we'd really have something...

    Looks really cool Robert, makes me wish my kids were young again to give me an excuse to make one of this.

    Naaah, those are too far down south from him also, so I guess he'll just have to start his Own Co., maybe "Pacific North West-Choppers".

    I Gotta say, that some of those Parts would have probably been easier to make if they had actually been made out of metal, as it's pretty easy to bend, weld, and grind tubing, vs hand shaping & glueing wood sometimes.

    I hope he's there with a camera though, to get a picture of Mama's expression, the first time the little Biker decides to try to do a "Wheelie".
