WOW! It's obvious that AJ didn't get all of the talent in the Fedor family gene pool. That bike is a work of art (Jimmy). Congratulations.

Dunno! I just know I gave it to him. The little handle on one of the shut offs has the Ford logo laser cut into it. With just a few exceptions, the crazy thing actually looks like a 37 ford. Folks generally remark: "I've never seen one of these. How many of these did Ford make?" and Jimmy says: "Just this one!" and gets away with it. ha ha!

Wouldn't you croak if I drove it down to the party this weekend? 8)

Just 60hp, but its ALL TORQUE. With a five speed tranny, it can probably tear the spokes out of the rear wheel. It's pretty much on the muscle at 1500 rpm. The "juvenile hot rod" in me would prefer an old Ford'esque looking steel rear wheel with about a 600 x 16 rear tyre to fry off on occasion. Yeah, that would be the cat's butt, but it's still gorgeous any way you look at it

I don't know if I'd croak but it would be a real treat if you did.
I hope Barb is bringing another of her delightful deserts (it's a wonder you don't weigh 400 pounds)
I have folks coming in today from Greenville, Toronto and Florida.
Finally got the sound system (all 1,100 watts of it) working with computers, CD's and tape recordings without any hum.
Today it's microphones.  Happy 4th of July
