Pinstriper Spiderman, he set up office temporarily at SEMA, and Tere just happened to get there first thing and he pinstriped her camera!


The work of an artist is pretty cool, and a lot of people stopped by to watch, to compliment, and to talk



Now that is a cool signature











Way cool pin

I compliment the artist, though I doubt I could comfortably pull off driving this as a commuter, but wouldn't it be a blast on a race track?!

Rafik Kaissi (RK Concepts) has created a bike that blew my mind by the innovative concept of welding industrial chain for the backbone

at the middle of the steering, are these words
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

Placed 10th in the international World Championship in 2009 at Sturgis, http://www.amdchampionship.com/content.php?page=registry§ion=viewbike&event=2009world&bikenumber=027

That copper antique fire extinguisher is the fuel tank... a photo at the end of this gallery shows what I'm talking about


That seat is mounted to a piece of leaf spring... looped over one link, and under the one in front of it, in a half hook shape that allows it to be moved to different links to allow for riders of different length legs or arms. Genius!













The front suspension is a half leaf spring, and it is clamped with 3 U bolts, and this allows for longer front forks by sliding the leaf spring out equally on both sides of the front fork. Genius!












Holding the headlight assemble together with small bicycle size chain, really cool thematic continuation

A little difficult to see on this below photo is the brake fluid resevoir that is the top part of a grenade




Easier to see the grenade top in the below photo



















In the above photo the small chain can be seen on both ends of the shifter and the end of the exhaust pipe




Notice a tiny piston used as a brake light
