I love a hillclimb! Talk about a great way to spend a Sunday. My pappy was real big into this hillclimb stuff way back when everyone showed up on sh*t you wouldn’t dare hit a hill with today! I saw this photo and thought it was a perfect example of that feeling you get when your fightin’ that hill and praying to god that you dont land on your balls. I cant say for sure but it looks like this guy is riding a BSA??
Forgot to include this image with the last post. It’s an up-close picture of Mor Xpense’s drag bike power plant. I can just imagine goofing off at the track and seeing this guy launch this thing off the line. Beautiful engineering. Welcome to the chopper blog.
Someone recommend I watch this video. I did. It’s cool. Matt Holm is doing his thing around the track. Some really great shots including a lot of live close-ups. Dig that hot shoe. It was like watching a deleted scene from Little Fauss and Big Halsy. Welcome to the chopper blog.
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.
