1980 SE Racing OM Flyer 26
1980 SE Racing OM Flyer 26
OG California Cruiser....
Photography by "vicsta"
Here's my OG finish SE Racing "OM Flyer". Everything on this bike is OG finish. All I did was clean up the parts. I didn't even try cleaning up the frame and fork because the stickers look too fragile. I acquired the F/f in mid-April and finished it 2 days prior to the Society show on June 4th. This bike truly rides like a dream!! If you haven't had the chance to ride an OM flyer....go out and do so! You'll be hooked! This is my first 26'er and it surely won't be my last. I am an official cruiser fanatic because of this bike! These photos were taken by the man himself....vicsta....@ the Society show in Bellflower.

Re: 1980 SE Racing OM Flyer 26
How did I miss this getting posted. I dig everything about this bike. Completely perfect from top to bottom. With all the character and patina this shows it is definitely a bike that has been loved and it has aged very well despite being used. A total fav for me and probably the baddest Om I've ever seen.

Empty your PM box.

All I wanted me was a little corn bread, you motherf***ers! All I wanted me was a little corn bread!
The " Roll eyes " emoji is from the same 2 guys that hold a grudge and seem to think they are better/smarter than me. They're just bitter. I could post just about anything and them two guys will hate on me. I don't post much these days but if you need anything at all send me a PM. I'm glad to help.
