Chopper?

Note the bike stand even a FJR owner can't tip over -- >

The rest of the story is here.

Interesting to look at. I don't think I'd enjoy actually riding it. So, that makes it a very interesting ornament.

 

[Groo]

Brakes anyone? :huh:

Looks like he uses the Fred Flintstone mode of stopping.... :blink: :lol:

 

[Geezer]

I would guess that there is some sort of brake on the gearbox end of the chain drive. Just a guess though.

Orangie goes Flathead. Radical.........

 

[nusman68]

Brakes? We don' need no steenkin brakes.....

 

[evil_henchman]

If it had brakes somebody might get the idea that it can be ridden and not just posed upon. Probably a safer to resist the temptation.

So Boy George rides him a sickle, huh? Well, in spite of that, as customs go it's unique and the detail and craftsmanship are superb.

Dang, I thought the wig might fool yah! :lol:

 

[Rogue]

Look at his face......... The guy must be asking to see him RIDE it!

 

[Scab]

I didn't realize Johnny Depp had a bike.

Love the socks, though.

You obviously couldn't ride it anywhere but around the parking lot at 5 mph, but from an artistic standpoint it's fantastic! I'd love to know what the engine is out of. It's obviously old. As Flying low pointed out, the detail work really is superb. Check out the headlight/gas cap/steering stem area. Amazing and totally unique. Thanks for the link Alan!

That think kicks ***.....looks like a pan or knuckle head or something.

Nope...definately older than that. Those are overhead valve...this is a flathead.

I'm not 100% up on old VTwins but........Indian?

 

[radman]

45" HD.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

45" HD.

Is that 1945 HD, or 45 cid HD? And how can you tell??? What's the giveaway? It's a beautiful engine.

 

[odot]

It's the new harley motor. That dude must have stole the blue prints.

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Actually, I found this. Clearly not the exact same engine, but way too much similarity to write off as coincidence. I think maybe it's an Indian.
