They were powder coated smoke silver Yes, that was the idea, these belong to a friend who had the coated to use as track wheels, and this helps hide the brake dust. He never had a chance to use them

Why I stoled it off the internet of course!

Then I conned some of the good folks here at PPOT to resize it for me.

Got it all done without rubbing two brain cells together, maybe I should go into politics.

ryan, sorry I missed this.

Its known as The Crimson Ghost. The Misfits actually stole it from a '40s horror movie. They were before my time, but it turns out that Im a huge Misfits fan almost completely as a result of the music (and artwork) that they inspired later on.

I haven't had the chance to get that far yet. The 911 valve adjustment was pretty easy. Hope with the right tools I can tackle the Duc as well

this is as far as I got this time (first time tank came off):

Anyone ever seen that clip from way back in the day on MTV? Before Maralyn Manson became big, he was one of the audience members on TRL (or whatever the precursor was... "Hanging with MRV or something). Funny to see him before he manufatured all his personality.
