These two are up there, but I've got a crustier Panther that's buried right now so I can't post a picture of it yet. I love this thread. Thanks bairdco!

Must take you awhile to put the kickstand down on the one bike.

There have been so many, many unmemorable rusty bikes, many bought for just a part. This ladies Shelby came at auction for 10 bucks, exterminated the Yellowjackets and took off the delta mouse cover and left her in the blackberry bush.
