Dr evil and I decided to take a walk today.....so we threw on his mask and away we went...We got about a half a mile down our street when he spotted this bike in somebodies trash...He thinks it's a good start for a custom....Cheers Walt Dr Evil and I went for a walk 006

A few lasers, a new paint job and that could look cool! Nice find!

Thanks Guys...I took the bike apart tonight to strip the decals off and prep it for paint...T took out the motor assembly and cleaned out the pet fur and hair from the motor wheels..Put some new batteries in and...IT WORKS!! Lights and everything...The motor works on a pivot axis that leans the bike left and right...It makes a figure eight then travels straight for about ten feet and repeats....So far so good....Walter Dr Evil and I went for a walk 015

The seat had a square post on it that the driver attached to...I totally botched it up trying to cut it off.... Dr Evil and I went for a walk Photo

I have this trashed computer chair waiting to go to the dump...So I cut out a square of the black naugihide.... Dr Evil and I went for a walk 006

From a bike that you and Dr evil ( cool looking figure) spotted in somebodies trash in the street to taking it apart, re-putting it back together, cleaned it up and then painting you have a fantastic job Walter my friend Wink

it looks already for the road.

Looking good already, even without any decals on it! Nice repair job on the seat - I've seen old office chairs all over the place but never thought to use the material for anything!

One mans trash is another mans treasure, surely holds up very true here. Amazing job with the TLC restoration.
