Evidently Mr. Doug Cook (of Arc Fabrications fame) moved to WV and nobody heard from him for a while.  Turns out he fell on hard times and has been working in a WV coal mine.  I hope he gets back on his feet.  In the meantime can somebody please pick up where Arc Fabrications left off.  I need something to strive for.

Another example of his "rat" bikes:


The red one is real familiar.

Doug built it in my barn.

If you notice it also has a Ti swinger...he didn't do many of those.

I know the guy that did some paint work on it too.

I've heard that the bike is in the owners hands finally.

I hope Doug can come back to 'earth' some day.

He's a good friend, and I miss him.

I saw a couple of his works in progress at BCM, although I never met him.  I do still have the arcfabrication link in my favorites and check periodically hoping it resolves.  The rat bikes were the best expession of K.I.S.S.  Sturdy frame, strong motor, light weight, what else matters.

Damn, I like those rear signals on the first bike.  Anyone know what kind they are?

I think the rear lights are 999.

Please tell me that's not what captured your attention on the first bike.  "Pay no attention to the rear signals behind the curtain".   Focus on the wizard of the rat bike.

No joke.  I tried numerous times to contact Arc Fab but never recieved a reply.  Now I know why.  Sucks to see someone with that much skill having to give it up to make a living.  Man's gotta eat though.  Hope things come back together for him.
