Big watch....little....... I don't care a bit ow big the watch is, or isn't. Jackholes are jackholes. Scammers are scammers. Liars are liars.

Obviously not. Cuz doesn't rate consideration of even flea market "bling" to the Harley, either. You hit it squarely when you said that, being in the same shoes, you'd be concerned about doing something extremely nice for the cousin that's giving you a chance at life again. But, I take it you don't have a Harley. Then again, I'm sure your wife doesn't ride around on semi-bald, used tires while you're buying firearms and other crap, either.

a fun conversation about what the bike might look like and maybe link to some other bikes with a WW ll look or theme to them. A big old 45 inch flathead, with the springer front, rocker clutch, tank shift, and white stars is about the "WW2 look". A turbocharged "Drag Bike" with artillery shells for "Mufflers", and ammo cans for panniers just sounds flat out STUPID, and not just a little bit grotesque. .....and I'd tell anybody who came up with this demented wet dream of a "Concept Bike" the same damn thing.

Does the cousin even exist? I highly doubt he/she does. Whoever it MAY be, they must have a bit of money to afford all that time off work, and be able to pay for their own medical expenses, transportation, accommodation, meals, medications, and follow up medical visits and tests. A very small portion of the pre-op testing and medical services required MAY be covered if they have insurance. Many insurance companies say donors expenses are not covered due to the fact "donating" is voluntary and therefore not cover under standard policies.

I campaigned this twin turbo Drag unicycle some years back.
The car looking thing up front was in the air for the entire length of whatever strip we ran it on. Sorta' like wheelie bars, only up front.
Steered easily by using the doors as rudders, they are connected to the sterring wheel by a clever linkage cobbled up out of old lifeboat compasses, and the diferential out of a 1914 Packard car.
The ram air intakes added a little boost, and were great for playing Glenn Miller and Artie Shaw while parked, and drinking gin.
If anyone would like me to re-commission this beaut, a fine layaway plan is available, PM me for details.

You'll probably have to have a stable of giant wheels,....and Track conditions and temperatures depending, be able to swap from extra sharp down to medium, or mild. GTC

Found the empty artillery cases I need. Thank you to all who PM'ed me links and places to look. Very inexpensive way to add a fun and unique feature to the bike while it is down and getting worked on anyway.
The bike and my surgically repaired body should be ready to ride together by this summer. Something I can really look forward to.
To those who do not understand someone who likes to have a dream and or a hope to think upon while going through a tough time and who poke fun at the idea, I am glad you got a laugh out of it. It does not bother me, really as this is just the internet. It ain't real life. To those who do understand and have been helpful to me in this search, many thanks.
Kinda sad that just a couple of years ago a post like the one I made here would have resulted in ideas shared on where and how best to find the big shells a person wanted or was looking for, and a fun conversation about what the bike might look like and maybe link to some other bikes with a WW ll look or theme to them.
A couple of years ago everyone hadn't realized you were a lying, manipulative POS who scammed people in the classifieds and conned old people for a living.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

And a bunch of hamburgers cooking. Well yeah,..... if you had a rack positioned correctly in the burnout area, you could position your burgers, chili cheese dogs, and fries to catch the scatter. HMMmmmmm USDA approval might be a sticky wicket. GTC
