Pimpin' My Ride (it was stolen: but now recovered)

[bschurm]

A buddy of mine gave me this bike in run down condition. I finally took the time to fix it up and have been riding it around campus here at FSU.

This thing is so much fun to ride. :laugh: You guys think there is a market for these? From the comments and looks I have been getting here on campus, there may be a market for them.

It needs some of those streamers on the end of the handlebars.

[Stophovr6]

Does it have a banana seat? That would be the tits.

[SonOfWashington]

Put a TV in that gap between the handle bars. :P

Honestly though, I think you could sell those.

[DeanCollins]

And a basket and baseball card on the wheel. :laugh:

[bschurm]

No, there is no banana seat! Its a beach cruiser w/ ape hangers! Not some sissy ass stringray damnit! :laugh:


Look, I can tell you all one thing, there are a lot of hotties checking me out on that thing while I am riding around campus. Just the thing to keep my mind off the girl in DC. :D

[bschurm]

And a basket and baseball card on the wheel. :laugh:

No basket, but I need to get a clothes pin, and as soon as I do I am installing the baseball card. :laugh:

[Slacky McSlackAss]

now THATS pimpin'

[MikeSellers45]

Thats pretty cool. It remindes me a lot of my 68 Schwinn Sting Ray and my brothers beach cruiser that I painted.

needs an orange flag on the back to be complete.

Nice, Bro. Chicks dig bikes. :laugh:

[bschurm]

I am sad to say that my bike has been stolen from right outside my front door. I was confident no one would steal it on campus because it was too unique and it sticks out like a sore thumb. But I just got back from a study group to find it gone. :cry: Some *&%*&* who will probably take it home with them so they won't get caught with it. :mad:

[Stophovr6]

Sorry for your loss. At least if you find the guy who stole it, you shouldn't have any troubles running him down on foot.:silly:

damn bro, sorry abou that.

those bikes are HUGE in San Diego.

[Koolblue13]

I know a lot of people making and selling them. They are cool. I go to a fair amount of Rat Rod Greaser shows and they are everywhere.

Sorry about the loss though, that sucks.

I've seen quite a few of those bikes around here. Most have longer front forks than yours. Sucks your bike got stolen. Did you have it locked up?

I hope there was an *** kicking involved. :applause:

[Koolblue13]

I hope there was an *** kicking involved. :applause:No ****. You put that kind of hard work into something only to have someone walk of with it, that's grounds for an ass kicking.

[bschurm]

I hope there was an *** kicking involved. :applause:

No, he told the kid it was his bike, he's about 6'2" 260 lbs. The kid gave it up willingly! :laugh:

[DeanCollins]

I guess the kid had to have it lol. glad that you got it back. now paint it pink so now one else will mess with it. Girls link pink, it'll be a great conversational piece. girl- "why did you paint it pink" bschurm - "I like pink, step into my office..."

[Sebowski]

There are popular out here in Cali. The east Coast will probably jump on the bandwagon like it always does. Take advantage. The long cruisers are even better.
Nice pic. I went to FSU. The little bit of campus in the background takes me back. I lived on St. Augustine.

[Sebowski]

Talkin' bout these guys:

Glad you got it back. Now give it to a midget, or anyone with really short arms. Then video them riding away on it. That would be fun.

Maybe it's me, but I don't see the attraction in the ridiculously tall handlebars. Seems to me it would be uncomfortable to ride for any length of time. Ah well, to each his own. Glad you got your bike back.

Actually China it is rather comfortable after a little getting used to.
