Since I am turning 70 in June I thought it was time to age another ol' RF a bit. Being a Gemini meant two different backrounds too.   |

On ol’RF I removed some lower teeth and added a tongue. Added sneakers, bent his ear and reshaped his tail. Funny fur around the ears with batting for the goatee and hair. The rug is over 110 years old and called a cigarette silk. You can still pick these up for $1.50 on line. The easy chair is an old WWF action figure accessory that I repainted. The bike is weird oh Davey’s. I wedge cut the tank to even out the top lines which also kicked out the front end 36 degrees for a proper rake. Cut most of the front fender away. Added another exhaust port to the rear cylinder and a pipe to match. Springs on the seat. Repositioned the front light and added a trans, carb and air cleaner, gas cap, foot pegs and tail lite. Plus some scratch built levers for the handle bars. I was going to use brother rat fink’s bike but it is way too small and this one has such a large seat to fit ol’ RF’s generously–sized posterior.  |

The tye-died shirt did it for me ... but yes, the rest of this build (pair of builds, counting the backgrounds?) rocks, too!
