Great looking bike and looks like a quality build
Quality build, every weld, every bolt. Every detail from scratch beautifully finished one-of-a-kind..
This bike is as unique and solid as the man that built it–
Bike looks great, Leave it to my uncle Pat to build something interesting. That’s how he rolls
Nice Job.
Nice job Pat, great looking bike.
Great to enjoy looking at the workmanship and adaption of many parts to create a personal art of mechanical beauty.
Great looking. A lot of hard work ingenuity.
Great looking. A lot of hard work and ingenuity.
Great looking build with outstanding ingenuity in construction. Well done !
Your brother just came by my store and told me about you and this bike. So I looked it up. Very impressive.
Looks to be a really great Home Built motorcycle; complete w/a ballsy Buick block resurrected from a family heirloom, and a built/altered frame to accommodate the lump. This bruiser is nothing less than a kick-ass interstate cruiser. I’d love to ride w/ya!
