Those of you who have been here a while know that these forums have seen some conversations about antique-bike projects that have achieved legendary status. And we’ve now created a place to preserve those legendary projects, with a special section of the General Restoration Discussions called, appropriately enough, Legendary Bike Builds.
The newly created section currently contains the eight-month account of the AMCA’s Youth Program Essay Contest, in which Ryan Mackey from Ohio won the chance to turn parts donated by AMCA members into an authentic Harley WL Bobber, just like the bikes returning American soldiers made for themselves after World War II. You can follow the project from Ryan’s December arrival at Carl’s Cycle Shop in Aberdeen, South Dakota, where much of the build took place, to the unveiling of the completed machine in August.
Ryan himself contributed much of the commentary on the thread, describing the build in detail, while dozens of experienced AMCA members jump in along the way with tips and suggestions for making the machine better.
This is the first of several such projects we hope to preserve in the Legendary Bike Builds section. To see it, go to Legendary Bike Builds under General Restoration Discussions. Or you can go directly to this link: http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/bbo...ry-Bike-Builds.
We're also interested in your suggestions for other bike-building threads that deserve to be a part of this special area. Please post your nominations in this thread.
Thanks.
