Midnight Crisis! Boston Biker's 12 foot long VW powered trike

On Saturday, January 18th, Boston Biker unveiled their new trike at the Worcester Centrum. With a 1600cc (98 ci) VW engine and a 30 inch over springer frontend this leather clad machine drew a crowd all weekend.

Check back soon to see more in-process pictures, detailed photos, and descriptions.

The picture that started it all. This trike is in New Zealand.	A trailer load of parts. The dune buggy had to be cutup and disposed (it was rusted too bad).	After a few minutes with the power saw!	The rigid frame before attacking with the saw.	About 100 hours into the project
The view from the rear doesn't look pretty.	All raked out and really starting to look like something now.	The first of the 4 daggers gets welded	The passenger seat frame is taking shape	Mating the bike frame to the VW.
A mockup of a coffin tank in cardboard. Looked cool but too big.	A springer and wheel from around the shop just to see it on all 3 wheels	Sitting in the driveway ready to head out for upholstery	The handlebars are still raw steel and ready for chrome	The stance of this chopper is really cool.
The frame gets boxed in with plywood. Joe then sketched what he wanted	The design kept getting refined then the sabre saw came out!	The plywood was cut into the final spiderweb design	The passenger seating area is taking its shape	The bike is back from upholstery. What a machine!
Yikes, SPIKES! I've whacked my ankle on these a few times. They hurt!!	You can never have too many daggers!	A view from the rear.	The skull eyes serve double duty as tail/brake lights also	Fast forward a few years.... not much has changed except the frontend. The original one just didn't hold up very well. I'm working on getting some new photos.
