Ever wonder about Dr. Cranky

[Mercman]

Ever wonder wnt the Doc looked like as a little Cranky. For those that don't know he does have a nice bike.

[Kit Basher]

Hah! He definitely looks Cranky! In fact, it looks like he might have a scrapple sandwich in his pants!

A used one!

LOL, Junior, you've been looking through my childhood photo album again? :lol:

[Dr. Cranky]

My parents were not too far away, although they had their own ride:

You ask if I ever wonder about Dr. Cranky, I always wonder about Dr. Cranky

[espo]

Hay Doc is that your folks? Cool.

[Dr. Cranky]

David, no . . . these are my Google Image parents. My parents were both terrified of motorcycles and my old man died in 1997 not knowing the kind of freedom a motorcycle is!

Doc,

We always wonder about you , but I can't imagine this forum without you around

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Ian. I appreciate the kind words.

[Ragnar]

The Doc is a big part of this Forum. Virgil I hope you will always be a part of this Group!

Me too!

[Dr. Cranky]

Aw shucks, thanks my friends.

Actually, Junior, you are right, I do have a nice bike and it's about to get a little crazier:

Here it is now:

And here are the new tins I just finished painting. A buddy of mine did the pinstriping. My hands are too shakey for pinstriping.

Do I wonder about Virgil, not really, I try not to think about other guys , I really admire him for how he keeps his inspiration for this hobby going, and his love for eye candy. I think if you ever start losing your mojo, talk to Virgil.

I do respect his work, I may not really care for the rust look, but he does a darn good job, and his shiny work is just as good, I think you can learn a lot from him, and I agree he is a big part of this forum.

[Dr. Cranky]

I don't know exactly what I have done to get this HE'S-A-JOLLY-GOOD-FELLOW song going on here, but hey, I'm just trying to have fun in this hobby, and this forum is full of great builders and wonderful friends.

Here's a sound track that always reminds me of my styrene addiction:

[Steven Zimmerman]

Naw, I never won/....VIRGIL?.....His name is V I R G I L ?..whoa....(grin)

[trogdor]

I stopped wondering about the good Doc. My head hurts less that way

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL, Rick, a good Scrapple Sandwich will make the headaches go away!

[crazyjim]

Oh my god! You turned the shiny sheet metal into satin? And they call me crazy? What are you going to do with all the chrome? The wonder about you has stopped - now I'm worried about you.

[Dr. Cranky]

Ha, I knew you were going to say that. No worries, the change ain't happening yet. I am waiting for the bike to age and weather naturally and then I will make the change. When the pipes go, I will wrap them in tape. :lol:

LOL Virgil you gonna make Jim pop a vain ! ............

Interesting bike Virgil!

I like mine stock.

I sort of grew up around bikes. Here's grandpa and grandma ca 1920.

[Dr. Cranky]

Nice bike, Wayne. Mine started out stock, but then I couldn't resist a few small, but very comfortable modifications.

[crazyjim]

I have extended controls as stock on my Wide Glide and added 2" extensions to those. I can stretch out my legs that way. Other additions have been braided stainless steel lines everywhere, matching billet mirrors, shifter, and foot brake, and some pin striping. Of course, my bike is SHINY :) and purple!

[Dr. Cranky]

Feel free to post a picture, Jim. I'm heading out to Daytona the second weekend, I think.
