when you guys build your bikes how much do you consider its ridability?  i dont know about you guys but i beat the *** out of my bike.  started out with springer fork lowered,  but cornered like *** and i eventually broke one of the bars so i got a chopper fork.  for me the funest part of riding is going fast and taking turns fast.  with my set up right now i can control if i want to understeer or oversteer, and its still stable through it all like i dont put my feet on the ground, but i dont know im using 26 inch tires right now.  i dunno then again sometimes its good to just cruise and burn one.  im thinking for my next project im going bondo a tank in, but try to make it hollow so i can put a camel back bag inside with a little spout on the side so i can bring water to whereevs, or maybe vodka...

Hah, yeah try it.

I once built a tank shape that was actually an extra large Chia Pet!
I spread on the seeds and watered it regularly. It started to sprout but then I caught the flu and was in bed for a couple days. I left the bike in the garage and it all died.
Maybe I'll try again.
