From Hans Prost:

Greetz, Hans Prost. Holland.

My pleasure Hans. Beautiful Build! The attention to detail is amazing.

Reader Rides. Some sweet old sleds.

Scott sends in some pics of his brothers sweet old iron..  In a perfect world with a bigger garage I’d definitely own a nice old American sideshift flathead with the obligatory “8-ball” shift knob. These are in just the right shape too.  Ansd looking in the background it seems like the kind of shop you could loose yourself in for a while.

Hey man – great blog!
These bikes were built by my Brother, George Trerrotola. Thought you might dig these pics. Feel free to post them if you like. Cheers!

Cheers!

Later he updated me with some build details:

Hey Steve,               
Thanks for your comments.Like you said great handling bike just cluttered and a little ugly.The rear rim is a stock 17″ the front I changed to 18″ it balanced the profile and lowered it an inch.The front and rear suspension were lowered 3″ and still has 7″ of travel.I cut about 12″ off the back frame and welded a new hoop.Seat pan is stock with new foam.The tank is off an old Harley and mounted like the factory. The exhaust, side panels and head light bracket are all one off made by me.The oil cooler I remounted off the front of the frame.All the old tabs were cut and ground off to clean up the frame.The stance of the bike came out perfect and I can still lower it an inch front or rear. The motor is stock except for the pipe,jet kit and K&N filter.Tires are Scorpion A/Ts.The bike is for sale so I can start a new project over the winter.

I’m not interested in becoming a for sale site but if anyone’s interested I’ll get you Mike’s Contact info. I think it great and I’d seriously consider buying it myself but I’ve alead got a DR650 (much more stock) that I’m modding.

Apparently the universe is sending me some really nice choppers lately and I’ve definately learned NOT to screw with the universe. Here’s a really nice Triumph TR6 from Michael Haar.
