This belongs to a guy I know. 1957 Mustang Model 8 Special. What a beauty!

One of my fishing pals is a motorcycle enthusiast and has a couple of scooters, including this fairly new to him one.
Many dollars spent on chroming this custom job, but Joey got a good deal on it so snagged it from the builder.
It's got "biatch bars" on it now plus he has a little seat that mounts on the rear fender so his old lady can ride behind him.

He's manic about keeping it clean.

Take care.

I posted these pics on other threads, but they deserv to be shown here as well. My friend " Cornbread " recently passed, this was his bike that he cherished more than anything. Just weeks after his death, the house that he shared with his wife for the last 20+ yr was destroyed in the Mosquito fire, along with his beloved bike! His 74th birthday was last week, so I thought I'd share what he and his bike were like in happier times. His wife and I are in constant contact, and she has taken it all much better that could be expected! " Rocky " has landed softly with a close family friend and is moving on with her new life. His bike was stunning, as the smile on his face shows his pride,

RIP Cornbread.

He battled health issues for over 20 yrs, probably shoulda passed a decade ago. I made many trips taking him to see the doctor, we live over 45 min to the hospital and his house is only 5 min away. He repayed me by taking care of our animals when the wife and I would make over nite trips occasionally. The wife has known him since 1970, I met him much later around 1982. We were very close, and losing him was a serious blow, but I find peace knowing his wife is taken care of, and his health battles are over. Life here on earth never ceases to amaze me how things work out. If you ever watch YouTube, and search the Mosquito fire, you will likely see a pic of two old Toyota Tercels that are burned out, that was his place, and one of those cars was the wife's bought new before I met her in 95. The man was 6'6 and over 350 lbs, and he drove that car for at least 5 or 6 yrs after we sold it to him for $500. He loved that little car, but it would take him a while to get in or out of that shoe box! RIP my old friend, you were a good man and I will miss you! ♥
