All my friends RIDE a Lowrider…

They don’t actually, in fact none of them do but I definitely do.

Here’s my ride and I call him “Dragula”

I learnt to ride a bike on an old Krate Bike before getting a BMX

When we first came to Australia my first bike was a dragster mongoose from memory. A girls one though because it didn’t have the cross bar. I didn’t care though it was cool.

So I guess I’ve always had a love for the old school dragster, lowrider, krate bike.

Dragula is quite unique as there is minimal chrome apart from the huge ape hanger handlebars. The rest of the body is in matt black. All the twisted metal including the pedals and sissy bar are black as well. I was going to add a 36″ sissy bar but I think it’d dig into my back a bit too much.

They’re not the easiest things to ride and are more for cruising and coolness than anything else. Strutting your stuff kind of riding hehe. It’s definitely a head turner. I’m 6ft 2″ but surprisingly I find it comfortable to ride but I wouldn’t go on any marathons.

Eventually I want to add more spikes down the back wheel mud guard, a triple trumpet air horn like this one –

Plus some iron cross side mirrors, a large vintage motorbike headlight and a number plate on the back that says “OUTLAW”

Nothing to do with OUR hobby but it’s still one of MY hobbies.

Hope you like it.

Cheers
