Chopper Chopper description

This is my idea of a 70's style chopper. I built it from the ground up with that idea in mind. This bike is not going to be for everyone - it does not have any comfort features. It is a rigid frame bike with NO electric start. That's right... kick start only. No cruise control, no radio... just a radical old school bike. It does have some great things going for it - it is a starts easily, one to two kicks is all it takes. It handles very well, floats down the road, move your hips and the bike responds and moves with you. It also is awsome to look at! Chrome in all the right places and all HOK paint. I spent just under 19k on just the parts for this bike, the reserve is half of that. It's a great bike with a great look. Send me any questions you have.

Here are some of the parts used to build this bike:

  • Rolling Thunder rigid frame built to my specs, 6" up/ 3" out stretch with a true 50 degree rake.
  • Rebuilt 80CI Harley shovelhead engine.
  • S&S Super E carb
  • 5 speed Ultima transmission (with a HD gearset) with kick start conversion.
  • BDL 3" open primary.
  • Avon tires: MH90-21 front and 180/55v18 rear
  • DNA 80 spoke front wheel and Paughco 80 spoke rear wheel
  • DNA Sprockster rear brake
  • Redneck Engineering "New School" springer front end, built to spec for this bike.
  • Badlands Digital mirrors with full gauges.
  • Compufire Alternator
  • Wires plus wiring harness
  • Dyna 2000 ignition system
  • All House of Kolor paint (primer, base, top, flake and clear). The paint design was layed out by me (one of a kind).
  • 16" high ape hanger handle bars

Fri, 29 May 2009

Claiming to be the worlds first, the compressed natural gas chopper was unveiled in Orange County, New York, by none other than Paul Teutul Sr., of Orange County Choppers (OCC) who constructed the chopper for the Chesapeake Energy Corporation. The build will be on OCC at some point this year, not many other details at this point. Hit the jump to watch the unveiling video.

Lawn-Mowing Motorcycle

Mon, 20 Apr 2009

I can’t count how many sunny Saturdays in my adult life I have spent lamenting the fact that yard work took precedent over being able to spend the entire day out riding my motorcycle.  Well, instead of wasting time dreaming, a farmer and motorcycle enthusiast managed to find a way to fix this problem by converting an old worn out ride on lawnmower into a chopper that actually, chops. Powered by a 17.5 HP Briggs and Stratton motor, the bike was constructed with the help of an old bed frame, an aluminum running board and parts from two old bikes. Now instead of choosing between going riding or doing yard work, this ingenious inventor can do both!
