I don’t know. This bike was really spectacular. Perhaps too spectacular to wear a carb badge reading “rat.” I could be wrong but judging by the 10lbs of metal flake, pin striping, pan head motor, and completely far-out assembly, I have to admit that this bike was definitely invoking the spirit of Ed Roth himself. Now I’m not saying this looks like a Big Daddy freak show. I’m just pointing out that the builder definitely found some inspiration in Roth’s work. Enjoy these pics. We certainly do. Kid tested- mother f*cker approved. – Speed Club

As with all swap meets, one mans trash is another mans treasure. More pics from the 2010 Donnie Smith Motorcycle show. Lots of great parts for that bobber project or chopper project you cant seem to finish. Found a great Harley Servi-Car frame pictured below along with a twisted little snap shot of the sea of parts claiming most of the floor space. Dig it. More to come from the chopper blog.

Found these images some year or so back. It’s “Barn Job!” I always keep these sorts of vintage drag motorcycle images around as inspiration for y next build. It’s a chopper? It’s a bobber? Who cares. There’s just something about casting away the frills for pure, raw, screaming, hate-filled, SPEED! Just look at this thing. This is a blow-your-hair back kind motor-cicle. Who wouldn’t love to have one of these things sitting around in the garage quietly waiting to kill you? This message has been Speed Club Approved

They don’t make ’em like they used to and they definitely don’t sell ’em like they used to. WTF is this “husky” sales pitch? The tins on that front end really are hot though. Welcome to the chopper blog.
