The Introduction...

I'll be honest, this blog is about shameless product placement and promotion... but what isn't these days?  I've spent years searching out and collecting parts out of my pure love for the stuff that came out of the 60's and 70's... when a chopper was something built by backyard craftsmen, not jagoffs on TV with $100,000 CNC machines and a stack of parts catalogs.  Now my collection has outgrown my appetite (and time) for building my own chops... wife, kids, corporate job... and it's time to put all of my old, dusty chopper gold back into the light of day and on the road.

Of course there's other stuff I'll be sharing here, including some stuff I'm still holding onto (unless I get an offer I can't refuse of course), like this barn find one off Ness Digger that once graced the pages of Supercycle magazine:

Rescued from storage in Northern CA:

In all of its 70's chopper glory:

 
I'm getting ready to start bringing this one back to life.  It will be running a 68 Ironhead Motor with a Dellorto DHLA Dual Throat Carb in true over-carburated digger fashion, an MPD Finned Primary, old Ness Tiller bars, and unless I sell them before I get around to fitting them up a set of Jammer "Blaster" 2 piece wheels.  Iwill keep the blog updated on the progress of course!
