Evil Woman

Just as I was unloading the Baker's Shaker out of the truck... my good friend Buzz calls me up and tells me he is headed to Georgia to visit his sister.... oh and pick to up an survivor Ironhead while he is down there as well. He said it had a little engraving here and some chrome over there. I went and checked it out today (after unburying my truck out from under ten feet of snow) and god damn.... It's got engraving and chrome everywhere. He has all of the original parts minus the front end and bars. But the original front end was the same with added gold plating and dual mini disc set. Two late seventies survivors within two miles apart.... maybe they'll mate.....

that thing is really really cool. PLEASE tell us your pal is going to leave the bike in it's current form/appearance... HOW COME I NEVER RUN ACROSS A SCOOT LIKE THIS ONE!

That seat looks like heaven. Survivors rule.

Yeah... actually it was in pieces when he got it. Some sixty year old tweeker bought it mint then let it sit outside under a tarp for years. He needed some meth so he sold it to another guy who tore it apart to part out. He sold the front end then realized it would be best if the bike stayed complete. So Buzz picked it up and is putting the pieces back together. and yes... this is the bike that was on the jockey journal.
