Gypsy Giant Ride Motorcycle

No longer there. It appears the saloon has been sold and is under a new name.

Fat boy cycle.

Fat Boy Cycle

This giant Fat Boy Cycle is constructed of bits and pieces of this and that -- including the kitchen sink faucet. Creative juices were flowing when this was assembled. A garment bag is now a saddle bag and leather belts serve as handlebar streamers. It's fun just to walk around and see what was used to put it all together. It's 15 feet tall and 25 feet long, and its name is Gypsy Ride.
