Title: Barding for my Iron Horse
Post by: Ironraven on April 22, 2014, 10:10:21 AM
So I make chainmaile jewelry and armor... and I thought it was high time I got some of it on 'ol Sarge.  Since I always have trouble with my mudflaps flapping in the breeze, that's where I put it.  Just the front so far, but gonna do the rear one too.  Oh, for those of you who are wondering Barding is the technical name for the armor Knight's horses wore.

That is surely the only mail-clad Drifter on the forum!  You won't have to worry about that flapping in the breeze.  That's the fun part about these bikes- making them our own....   Now I'm going to lunch, and planning to stop to talk to the paint guy about a 2-tone job.....

Thanks guys :)  I'm looking forward to adding more... even though my friends think I'm crazy to make the bike heavier lol.

I've seen shows on making mail - there's a lot of time involved in that!  Pretty cool.

 A chain-male biker vest would be kool!! Attach some pins and trinkets to it and have a metal graphic on the back. :o ???
