 19 Notes:

I may be a little biased, but a whiskey (or moonshine) barrel is one of my all time favorites to see being pulled behind a motorcycle. Reusing materails is good, but making it look good is great.

I would have went with a black frame myself, but the loud red will double your reoad visibility in an instant. Bonus points for the american flag. (I'm probably a little biased there too.)
