Blackcruzer ..... "I've been wondering that myself. Nice build, good to see you back."
Chainsaw ..... "So uhh, how close are you "to making it big time"? Waiting anxiously for you to hit it big time and I get my bike! Glad to hear things are going well. Your bikes still make me feel giddy as a school girl! You gonna make it to Autorama? Everyone was looking for ya, even some of the car guys.
Hopefully your schedule permits you to ride in Hamilton next year. We miss ya!
Tell the family we said , Hi
Still your "American Factory Rider",

EricHannan ..... "Black: I just bought a Miller sychrowave 180 tig welder and I have to say that the learning curve will have to be steep!
I will post my best practice bead and my worst.
Chainy: I will be in Florida in March but if this plan doesn't work this year again, then I'll make it to Autorama.
I might have to take a comercial booth this time.
Hamilton and Wasaga is on my list of places I must go for next summer and I will bring lots of bikes; I got myself a
new Mother Ship, I'll post pictures of that too when I get home."

Junkman .... "The bikes look amazing... I've heard you say you can ride these bikes with no hands. How do you explain that with nine inches of trail? If you are coming to Florida in March, how about making an appearance at a Hollyweird Beach ride? Or, I'm sure we could make a special Choppernite ride to see you."
Eric Hannan .... "I don't know where you heard that but they are no ''no handers'' in any ways...I mean not recomended.
The Larry Special must have close to 9'' of trail...but the others have 5''.
The billet front wheel helps stabilizing as it is heavier and this means: more weight equal greater centrifugical forces.
I can ride these bikes with no hands but i need to go fast and it took quite a few scares :o and even so I did it for maybe 100ft max. without pedaling. The trail is reduced a bit more on the new ones and I'm working on an optional hidden steering stabilizer that should greatly reduce the flop and incorporates hidden stops also. I'm looking forward to a Hollyweird ride and refreshments with my old E-pals."
Junkman ... "That would be excellent to have you at Hollyweird, we'll plan the date around your schedule. I can't wait to see these beasts in person! I'll start spreading the word."
TIII .... "Me, I dont like it one bit!
I know my chopper has some scratches on it, but my chopper will look like the bottom of Satans hoof next to these wonderfully beautiful machines!
I say poo poo to change, poo poo to outsiders, poo poo to AWESOME chopper bicycles!
Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
(Damn, those look cool!)
No motor though. It becomes the Pontiac Fiero of chopper scooters.
A bicycle with ANY motor is suddenly a weak motorcycle.
When the month before that H-wierd comes around, someone will put up a thread and Ill modify the 'Coming Events' thread.
Cereal now...
I look forward to seeing these in person. Then Ill buy my chopper a lollypop to stop its crying."
Eric Hannan .... "I guess seeing you ride one of my beast would cause permanent mental damages to your emotional chopper!?"
