Chopper Chopper description

******AMAZING SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION CHOPPER******************

I am the second owner of this custom show bike.  I bought it off of Bill Steele in 2005 who built the bike.  He is a custom builder and this bike was featured in V-Twin Motorcycles Magazine in February 2004 and 7 other magazines.  I have a copy of the magazine where the bike was featured on the cover of V-Twin and in that magazine there is a 3 page write up about the bike.  The copy of this magazine will go to the new owner.  Here is a snippet from the magazine:

"On this particular bike, there's Goldammer's name all over it.  Bill made the front end, the swingarm, and the frame, as well as the air lift system that's on it that makes the front and rear ends of the bike go up and down.  The trick about the front end is that the upper tubes are actually air tanks.  The single-sided swingarm frame has a compressor on board while the frame, from the neck on down and across the bottom are air storage tanks and the air from the frame is pushed through an air hose from the neck into the fork tubes.  Depending on how much air is left in there when I start the bike, it takes about 40 seconds to raise the bike to a riding position," Bill says. 

"Other unique features of this bike are the wheels with the incorporated pulley rotor on the rear unit.  Bill designed them himself and had RC Comp make them, while fenders and oil tank were fabbed by Bill himself or, like the Yaffe gas tank, modified to fit his design.  Bill only took the TC88 motor apart to have it chromed and polished.  He outfitted it with a carb from Carl's Speed Shop, for which he had to make a special intake because its got a map sensor in there for the computer to work.  Bill also manipulated the computer and the harness to make it run properly.  Bill also painted the bike with Wizard from Ohio laying on the turned gold-leaf graphics and Bill then reclearing, buffing, and finishing.  This bike won the Best of Show category in the Judged class at the Easy Riders Bike Show in Charlotte.

Bill Steele is a world renowned bike builder and won the first ever motorcycle Ridler Award, which goes to show how well built his bikes are.  To this day, Bill still says this was the favorite bike he ever built.  If you you have any questions at all, please email me.  If you are seriously interested in this bike you can speak to me directly.  Leave a message on my answering machine at 239-549-3685 and I will promptly call you back.  This bike is in excellent condition, there is only one small imperfection on the bike and it is a blister on the tank and it has been there since I bought the bike.

Natural Habitats

SAM Christmas has been a professional photographer for the last 3 years and is the man behind Natural Habitats, a collection of photos covering the growing UK custom scene, showing bikes and their builders at home.    Sam's clients include the likes of Honda, Dainese, Google, Polo Jeans and Edwin denim but Natural Habitats is a personal project that took one and a half years to complete. I got to meet Sam when the exhibition opened in Shoreditch on Thursday evening.

Legendary Motorcycles Book Review

Fri, 16 Jan 2009

For every rider who has ever thrown their leg over a bike, there is surely one particular model that they can recount as being responsible for infecting them with the contagious riding bug. While some were fortunate to have biking in their blood and Hogs in their garage, others have undoubtedly become acquainted through the various forms of media within popular culture. Whether you caught the itch from seeing Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones, or Erik Estrada in CHiPs, many riders were inspired by images that shone upon the silver screen or appeared on their television sets each week.
