Found a writeup on how to make fork bleeders just like real bikes, so I made an attempt at it tonight. Got one a bit off center as it slipped right as I was tapping the punch with the hammer, oh well, I'll replace that one later (it works fine, I just know it's off center :D). I think they turned out pretty good.

Forks are about to be torn down, so the shavings aren't going to hurt anything no longer than they'll be there.

Nice touch Randy!
 
I'm guessing the fork is probably yard art for a silverware company.
I'm also hoping the guy on the ground is just a 'poser'.
As far as Bin Ladin goes, "Fork Him". He's done.

Great idea and nice work on the bleeder, by the way.
