I sure wish I had 1/10th of the skills this guy & guys like him have. :drool5:
He calls himself a Norwegian Blacksmith. It's sort of a long thread, with a ton of comments http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222004
If you'd just like the Cliff note version, he went from this...




To this...




To THIS! :o




The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I read that whole thread. Wow! And the guy says most of it is "just basic blacksmithing". More like art but either way he's got a lot of vision and talent. :2thumbs:

You see guys, here in Norway, a 102 inch wide trailer is not legal, and no room for, on the narrow Norwegian roads. And the good old Volvo is a nice workhorse, just what a blacksmith needs!! hehe :2thumbs:
Since we only live once, and all this is not just a dressed rehearsal, but the real thing............ Well, enjoy it!!!!

That's a pretty small trailer allright, it reminds me of this pic that someone posted on the '70 site a while back.
Sorta reminds me of a circus elephant balancing on a ball. ;D
