These tanks belong to a friend of a friend who claims to have 80-90% of the original Wild Angels Dragon bike. I told him, "you got to put it back together"! The dude has a lot of projects on his plate but, I think the Dragon merits top of the list.
It's thought that the Dragon was painted by Von Dutch. Sure looks like one of his creatures to me. Hope these tanks don't get repainted just because they have some chips.

The Born Loser M/C blog has this bike for sale right now. There's a ton of Captain Americas and some Billy Bikes but, why no Dragons? I'd choose a Dragon.
Here's what appears to be a post card from the Movieland Wax Museum (Buena Park, CA). That's the same bike for sale now. Check my previous post dated Nov. 12. for a similar photo.
She's wax! That explains the deer in the headlights look.
