Chain of Mystery

I mentioned yesterday that Pat and I stopped by the local Harley-Davidson dealership because we had heard that they had a couple of famous bikes on display. (In fact, they have an entire museum full of extremely cool old motorcycles -- see THIS post for more about that.) This machine is called the Chain of Mystery. Can you see how the frame of the bike is actually made of a chain? How awesome is that?!?! The builder was a man named Indian Larry, whose name is well known among custom bike fans. This machine was the last motorcycle he ever built. Indian Larry was known for his intricate, hand-wrought details, and he was heavily influenced by hot rod culture. I'll show you another one of his creations tomorrow.
