VIN number is another more to do with motor vehicle.

WoF is my pet peeve - it is a Warrant of Fitness,and the plural is Warrant's of Fitness,the acronym is WoF. I've never seen anyone on KB get it right yet.

It's called RAS Syndrome (no, really, it IS).

RAS being Redundant Acronym Syndrome.

I'm not profiting from it - just paying homage on my personal space.

Got Finks on all my helmets and bikes too.

Finking started when I was about 8 years old. Stickers and monster transfers. I bit older I used to build the revell hot rod kits and collect the monsters.

Then I got the tee shirts with the monster hot rods a bit older.

His Bikey images and the Von Dutch, dark side years were also interesting but I drifted away from it. A bit too dark at the time.
They were 60's Biker films on canvas - without the hokiness.

20 years later I bumped into Rikki Rokkett (Poison drummer) in an online Bonneville group and we talked.
He was still into Kustom Kultcha and was going to a finks reunion and switched me right back on to it. I studied up and bought some books.

I bought one excellent volume

RAT FINK
The art of Ed 'Big Daddy' Roth
by Douglas Nelson & Greg Escalante

from tech Books in Newmarket.

I admire the way Big Daddy turned life into an art event. He and Von Dutch also paved teh way for custom builders today.
Arlen Ness to Orange County Choppers owe something to the legacy.

Mostly just Good Shtick and a Moto culture.
