VERY cool looking bike!
What is it like to ride?

It rides strong with no control issues. Front suspension works quite well actually. So glad to have the spring seat which helps with the small bumps being a hardtail. No speedo but I estimated I had it up to 55 mph based on traffic flow. Fun to ride and show!
You must get A LOT of looks with that one - she's very pretty indeed!

Wow! Awesome looks and workmanship. Its really hard to make things look simple.
Love the idler sprocket.
Not to throw stones...seriously... but prolly louder than the devil with those asphalt sweepers. Wonder if you could slide some type of silencer insert into the pipes?
With a couple D cell lights and license, this would be a hoot around town.

I welded in baffles so it is not loud. It has a good sound. It is street legal, I added a headlight, tail/brake light and license not show. I should have shown pictures. Lights are wired into the charging system with the old school cloth-wrapped wire, once running just flip the headlight-mounted toggle switch on and you're good to go. Here is a taillight photo.Wow!
