I don't think you should be so quick to 'un-judge' Frank's self-annointed title.
I mean, by his own words he's used 'old bed frame'!!??

And MAYBE.........he's not thru 'detailing' his ride!!!

Is everybody w/ a gunrack a redneck? or does every redneck even have a gunrack????

AND after his real-self shined thru on his post with the chicks of SEMA.......



(and it's only 10am!!!!!)

Anyone ever tried to mow a lawn with one of those reel bikes? They're a PITA, you've got to seriously regear it to even get moving.

I take it the Redneck Recumbent is now under a foot of snow and we'll have to wait until next year for the YouTube video?
