paul from whitmore lake

a picture of this bike was emailed to me a couple weeks ago. big ed saw it in brighton but couldn't find the owner. a couple weeks later i was at beezer's buying a starter button and this thing rolled into the parking lot.

this is paul and this is his ride. he's into it for under $200.

he made the frame from scratch keeping the original neck. he made the exhaust, the seat, pretty much everything. this is paul's first motorcycle.

we need to give paul a ring and go riding.

Damn. We need Paul in our corner.

I'm impressed that he's still running both brakes. Probably necessity considering he can't just ditch that front hub without spending some money. Is that a xs650? Why does the lacing on the wheels look all fucked up to me?

i don't know about the wheels, but the engine is an xs400
