That is some sexy stuff, man. I should fish up my bike. XD

That is freaking cool, where did you get it from?

Went to the local bike shop, where they ordered it online from Schwinn's website.

Nice, About how much it cost ya?

that is not a bike you take on the sidewalk o.o

in alotta places it's ilegal to ride on the sidewalk.. so in any case XD

I've done it ^_^

That's just classic.. now all you need is the engine..

haha burn

what no seriously... the design is pretty much a motorcycle.. just gotta trade in the pedals for a motor..

don't get me wrong, i respect people's right to their own tastes but i worked at a schwinn dealership here in New Orleans and i tried riding that thing and i couldn't without screwing up my back. I like my Grey Ghost repro. All in all, Schwinn should be congratulated for this design but for them to slap the StingRay name on it might not have been the best move. (I'm a self-proclaimed expert on odd and vintage bikes BTW )

and its HUGE

Really? Once I got sitting in the right direction, it was easier to pedal than my regular ten-speed bike o_o I was shocked. The posture does take getting used to, though.

Or something with a lot of caffeine.

They have electric hub-motors, with handlebar throttle controls. You keep the pedals, and at any time, you just flip a switch from pedal-power, and and hit the gas. In time, I might get one for the rear wheel.

you know, I was about to mention the fact that they have pedal bikes with little motors.

sweet ride

AHh
good choice
the relaxed angle you are sitting at
in relation to the extension of your legs onto the pedals
makes it more efficient on your part

uses less energy than a standard pedal bike

now I want one xD

Holy Shit.

Woah!

I love those fucking bikes. My friend just got one, I'm jealous. :x

Now you're riding with power man! :D

now thats creepy, if you had longer hair and eyebrow ring i swear you'd look almost like my uncle but on another note thats an awesome looking bike.

Very nice! I had no idea you were that cute XD

...and amazingly generous with his time at AC07, lemme tell you

Let's riiiiiiide D:<

You look so disgruntled.

lol. This was the least goofy-looking of three different photos. The other two, I was still grinning like an idiot. This was my stifled smile.

This is what happens when cool artists have more than just one hobby. Tres slick, man! Are you going to AC this year?

Yup. See you there.

And thanks!

Am I insane or does Fossil kinda look like that one dude from Prison Break? XD

Um.. which one? And please, don't say "the one with the shaved head" XD

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1004774/ This guy with the shaved head XD

Ok, yeah, I can kind of see that.

What the hell
You're so COOL that it took me like a minute to realize that wasn't a motorcycle

Okay, now I'm jealous. That is one sweet bike. I bought a smaller version from Toy 'R' Us that was on clearance for $35 down from $120

fff that's fucking awesome.

DOES IT MAKE VROOM NOISES WHEN YOU RIDE IT OR DO YOU HAVE TO CLIP CARDS TO THE WHEELS?

The back wheel's so fat, the treads make a sound that makes you think there's a car behind you at all times.

Haha, awesome.

Sweet ride, Fos! The bike I'm picking up ain't near so swank: plain old Trek 820 to do some mountain biking around here.

very chopperish

Holy crap! That is a most respectable bike

Dear god I want one.

How much did it set you back, anyway?

It varies from place to place, honestly. I've heard you can sometimes find them on Ebay for 250-300... But this one was special-ordered straight from the site, and I won't give any numbers, but it was up there.

Lookin cool. But it looks like it wouldn't take to a trail with obstacles too well, is that true?

I'm not a bike aficionado but as a rule if it can't bump n jump over logs and shit I can't use it around here

Yeah, this is a street cruiser. I wouldn't recommend taking this off-road.

Effing HELL that's awesome!! *jealous*

Shiiiiiiiii-...

NICE BIKE o.-.o

I give it three weeks before you draw one of the girls posing on a bike of similar design :P

Fuuuuck YEs man!

goddamn. now thats a bike.

I love the springer front end ><

Thats tight!

Thats just several flavors of Whicked.

Ho, yeah....

Is it easier to pedal with the pedals way out there?

Yeah, it is!

I’m envious -.-

shit i wouldn't mind one of those... but i lvie in eugene Oregon - there's more bike theft out here than anywhere else in the USA...

awesome, almost makes me want a bike again xD

I wanted to tell you-- I did make a few Pee-Wee laughs the first time I rode it.

lmao, I can picture you doing that too.

PS: What ShujinTribble said *points to response* And if you don't want to, can I? 8D

What, draw a Fossil in a Pee-Wee suit on a big Schwinn?


Be my guest. XD

ilu. :D

^^ needs to get my bike going again T~T Needs a few vital repairs ^^

Also sweet ride Fossil Wish I had one

Very nice, mate. How hard is one of those to ride?

Easier than a regular bike!

Somehow, I thought it might be.

Life cheats me.

That's the bike I yearned for all my childhood but could never have...

Nice catch.

D.O.P.R

Nice, now that's a bike that wants to be a Harley when it grows up. Good job bud, you look good on a chopper.

With the insane prices gas is going these days; this is the only way to travel. ;D

better put some training wheels on that thing b4 you hurt yourself....

dude, that is one sic ass ride you got there man!
FO SHO!

you know what they hell is soo insane about that bikes setup, it has a modified springer fork. its sweet! i gots me a rolling chassis ( sportster ) and im going FULL electric with the setup. IM estimating, with two 2200 watt eartmag motors hooked to the gear box and 8 compact lipo batts ill be able to cruise roughly 135 miles at about 80 mph . . . i weigh 135 and my bikes final build will be roughly 350. I just hope my bud comes thru and gets me my springer to put on the front ( i sold the orig forks ) this way ill have forks fer the . . . . ill have forks again LOL have fun with yer bike dude, i have the Mongoose Blackcomb Mountain Bike and one of their standards just collecting dust ( till we move to a safer location ). so im hoping to get the sportster fitted and have some wheels by the end of the summer. gotta get rid of my damn truck first. &%^$ing eyesore its turning out to be now!!

Have you looked into hub-motors? The following link is just one of many sites with different varieties. They get REALLY interesting 3/4 of the way down.

http://www.freeenergystore.com/evhubmotors.html

im not sure if those will fit a full size motobike tho LOL . . . but thank you thank you thank you!!!! i was having such a hard time finding the throttles and batteries fer the motors im looking at . . they could also give me some better insight into my venture too. I was doing the math and had some help but the guys i was talking too . . . well they bailed on the project and im without help, but i have enough info to finish. In theory LOL but i may have a bike shop thats willing to lend one of their techs to help me finish. special thanks goes to local H. D. repair center here. n.n

you know...that will save you a shit load of gas money!

Fossil....why are you away from your artist desk.

Fossil!!!! GET BACK TO YOUR ARTIST DESK RIGHT NOW! *slams a ruller against the desk* YOU ARE NOT TO BE OUTSIDE THIS CLOSE TO CON TIME >:(!

also nice bike :D gas saver.

You look too hard to be a furry, man. More like a vato.

I'm not even mexican/spanish! XD

Holy Smokes! *Envy!!* Yer definetly the coolest kid on the block now! Not that you werent before.

SCHWINNS?!?!?!??!! THEY STILL MAKE THOSE?! FUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK!!! Back in the day I had a Mongoose Menace! Jesus dood, this is a FAR CRY from back then! :) Kickass Fos, Ride on off into the sunset brudda!

That reminds me of the last line in the recent remake of 'Shaft'. :)

look at that pimp. lol Question why isn't it not green :)

Give it time 9_9

LOL

I originally was going to paint the whole frame bright green, yeah.. but now I think that I'll only paint the wheel rims that color. The iridescent black frame is growing on me. But yeah... SOMETHING on this thing has to be bright green.

why not settle for a more dark green? Like something that'd be more common on a car?

You said it. "Common". I don't do common if I can help it. That's why I didn't get a regular-looking bike.

sweeeeeeeeeeet

kickass bike!!!

As they say in my area, that is one pimp-ass ride :D

Low rider's are always sweet machines. Wait is that a low rider bicycle though? The seat looks higher than the models I'm used to seeing.

It's not so much a low-rider as it is a crusier. The Mexican-style Low-riders are REALLY low, and most aren't as long.

awesome I was beginning to think that that wasn't you but a bazzaro version of you lol

I'd love to have that! But where I live, dirt roads and the like, it would be innificient...-_-...and I know I just mangled that word.

Choice.

Cool bike. I like the color.

Dood... is that you?

Yeah.

WOAH! Dood! You look like one of the bad ass inmates from Oz. Not something i'd expect from a furry. :3

that bike is fuckign metal !
awsome

Looks like skinny chopper. nice.


* queen´s bicycle race song plays here*

"get your motor runnin, tearing up the highway"

now that is one bichin chopper Foss

Thats so killer! :D Way to go!

I miss talking to you bone head D: Luna misses femuuuuuuurs...and I want your bike it's totally sick

Veryah sexy bike

Awesomeness +3 :P

o.0 Ha ha ha ha ha, I LOVE the look of this XD XD

now that looks liek custom bike on really strict buget, really cool do i have to say

you've been saying you were gonna get one of those since we worked together. Congrats on finally getting it!

Best thing about that bike I'd think: Making every kid for blocks around die of jealousy.

Heh, not just kids for blocks. Heck, when I first rode it home from the bike store, people driving the cars were looking. A trucker honked at it yesterday.

Me: Hey Nick.. come check out Fossil's new bike..

gNAW: Hey, that's pretty cool.

Me: It's a Schwinn. Man, they used to make thos eold Leave if to Beaver bikes.

gNAW: (in Fossil voice) Hello Mrs. Cleaver.. why, you look lovely. It's such a lovely day today. Don't you think it's lovely? It's so lovely..

Oh, hell no, are you kidding? Nick said that?

Fossil, that bike is amazing.

So THAT'S why I haven't seen or heard from you in so long, even though certain people have been here several times! ^^ Congrats!

Pimped shit.

Really, you look like Kevin from Ed Edd 'n Eddy. Or his older brother. You bad ass son of a bitch.

can't. stop. laughing! That's just so YOU!

I love it.

sweet. must be a bitch to stear though.

It's not bad at all when you get the hang of it.

sweet. ride on, man.

Haha, nice!

Super freaking awesome man

I've never seen anything like it. And I have to say, I do like it.

That looks a little hard to ride it :P

it looks like a chopper. must have cost a pretty penny.

Normally, riding one of those and not being 12, would get you clowned. Maybe its different up north. You're a bigger man than me, I will say that.

I can't really say anything...I'm fat, but I want to ride skateboards so bad.

Photos really don't do it justice. It's different than a bike made for a 12-y/o kid... This one REALLY has a lot of details on it that let you know it's no toy. People haven't laughed at it as of yet, mostly they stare at it. Mostly. XD

I could see you in your emo-gear you wore at that one con, skateboarding.

"If you cut me, I bleed for you :( "

Ah...LOL! Touché.
I did get clowned with my emo gear....sadness is my blanket of peace.

coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllll bike

Dude! Fuckin rockin!!

Chief, come on up to Buffalo AC weekend (sat) and join me for a few hrs in the Ride for Roswell!

Thats one pimpin new bike for ya! Its MEGA-cool and i like to ride on that.

You're just too cool, man.

Don't tell me how much it costs, or I'll end up buying one. If I imagine it cost a million dollars, I won't buy it and waste money I should be spending on things like food and gas . . . although I wouldn't have to worry about the gas if I had this.

TOOL!!
Where is your bloody bike helmet?!
I always wear one when I ride my Rs600. 20 kilos of Alloy and Stainless Steel for the win

That bike kicks ass, dude.

I tried peddling one of those things....was a pain on the ass.

Nice bike! And holy crap, you look like YOU! (Well, someone had to say it! XD)

Damn... Hot fucking wheels bro. I know you prolly won't see thi sin the long string of responses but I jsut figured I'd say somethin'. I used to have an old '83 cherry red Schwinn cruiser with a 5 foot chop that I welded myself. God I fucking love Ratbikes. Ride on brother!
-Mik

gimmy

You should take care of it^^ My new bike was stolen 2 months after I´ve bought it... man 300Euro away >.<
by the way, I hope you got my birthday greetings. I think I did something wrong with this y-messenger... bad?

yeah! Rockerbike

I figured you'd be sick of bikes.

Is that the right size for you? Seems small.

I might need to raise the seat a little. :)

That's all? And then it's rideable for ya?

Hey!

Missed you at the comic con. You guys should have stayed for the concert on Sat night.

TM Revolution was mega!

I came.


I mean uh... sweet bike. =D

:O Pushups!

Pushups?

Emilie ok? her phone has been off all day

Nice bike. BTW what town do you live in, Fossil?

Long Island, NY.

I know that >.> I mean what town. LOL

Pt. Jefferson area-ish.

DUUUUUDE!!!! I used to live their. Your one of my favorite artists. I live in Stony Brook now though. Not too close but not too far away.

I'm usually at I-Con every year (which is in Stony Brook's campus), running anthro panels. Stop in and say hi.

I was going to go last year to see you but I didn't have the money. High change I'm going this year though.

I thought it was a chopper from the thumbnail. xD

U R BIKAR EXTREAAAAMMMMEEEE

hey hows it goin? :)

Pretty good, you?

I remember riding the old-style Stingrays as a kid in the 70's. The ones with suicide brakes and huge sissybars. I'd love to get a bike like that these days.

Very nice bike indeed, and nice to see the guy behind the art. We should chat more on YIM, if you ever get the chance.

Damn right.

Guy, I love how you have a tricked out bike.... that has a water bottle! XD

That's awesome! XD

i saw it on Youtube. nice bike :)

haha awesome :D

I'd want one :U

Awesome! XD Wish I could own one. ^^; Then again, I wish I RIDE one! XD *laughs*
I'de really like a Spyder Ryder though! XD
http://spyderryder.brp.com/spyder-c.....en-US/Home.htm

Most. Awesome. Bike. EVER ^^
BTW: Thanks, again, for the awesome conbadge last year, maybe I'll commission you in a year or two for a new one so you can compare how much you've improved since the first one!

Dude. That bike is kick ass! And you have a greeeeeen tat!

I wish I had a bike like that one you're riding on!

hey cool bike,
I still got my Royce Union BMX from when I was 14 (have hadit for10 years) basicaly everything except the handle bars and frame has been replaced ;) Oh and the cranks are still original.

LOL @ American badass.

Nice bike

holy shit, that is one awesome bike :o

Thank you!

the coolest thing about that is that it looks bad ass for real.

You be straight up gangsta yo!

I remember building a few of those when I worked at Wal*Mart.

Awesome bike dude!!!
