Tribute? More like a disgrace...

He had a good thing going with the newspaper thing...

Someone needs to remind this guy that it's a ZX-14, not a 64' Impala. A little taste goes a long way.

It's a shame too, aside from candy paint accents everywhere and drawings on the windscreen and tank.... it would have actually been a really nice bike.

At least it's not all chromed out and lit up with LED's and such like a christmas tree.

great pics Lash, but few posers here

Very nice work. I love me some good looking drag bikes even though this is more for looks than anything. I'm not too much into riding a bike that is a shrine to myself though, but to each their own.

The Wang employs a single sided swingarm you know. No chipping on it though.

Anyone remember PeeWee Gleason who did the drag strip runs for the manufacturers back in the '80s? Can't recall anyone doing him a bike so, someone with some picks, let's post 'em.

I'm 32 and was in elementary school in the 80's.
