Like the Knuck. And the one with the dual carb setup is sweet except it looks like a coathanger with a motor. Sometimes I think these chop builders try too hard to be different and they end up with something that just looks silly.

Mr. Big,
I agree with your "coathanger with a motor" comment, I may be way out of tune with this new look, but where the hell is the gas tank on this type of machine?

Ron Finch always built scoots with the "wire" look. Thanks for the pics, nice bikes for sure.

Looks like the gas tank is a box on the rear fender. I'd give my left nut for that dual carb motor. It really looks mean. The rest of it I could use to hang my jacket and chaps on......

I am sorry I missed this...daughter and SIL were in town, so we had other events scheduled. Thanks for the photos, looks like a great turnout for such crappy weather.

It's great to see some signs of life in old Flint. I was born and raised there. Left in '69. Flint always was a huge gearhead enclave. Every time I went back to visit I was impressed with all the biker stuff going on. Cool.

Thanks for the post, very nice. As a retired auto worker I'm very sensitive to the fact that car production was the life blood of Flint and other cities in the area and across our great country. I'm sure the locals, especially merchants, were very happy to see some activity....these have been very tough times.
I'm very partial to that beautiful glossy black Indian Chief...very, very nice.
