Chopper Chopper description

I originally built this bike in 2005 as a show bike.  Never put many miles on it - as show bikes tend to be, it was great to look at, but not great to ride.  A couple years ago, I decided to rebuild the bike into something that would be great looking and a lot of fun to ride.  It's been a complete transformation - just finished it up about a month ago (if you're a serious bidder and you'd like to see what it originally looked like, I can email pictures), and you're looking at the result.

Everything on this bike is either new or completely rebuilt,  with a killer new black and charcoal paint/powdercoat/anodized look throughout, and I have less than 100 miles on it since then - just enough to get the carb dialed in and make sure everything works like it should.
  • New Ultima 113" engine with new S&S Super G carb
  • Baker 6-speed transmission
  • Modified Boyce open belt primary
  • Pro Street Frameworks 5"up, 3"out, 45deg, dropped the tail in order to add a spring/shock under the new seat
  • New one-off gas tank with black diamond plate inlays on the sides
  • One-off oil tank with hidden oil filter
  • Paughco 42" tapered springer, 3deg
  • PM master cylinder and front brake, freshly rebuilt, new front rotor
  • Exile rear sprocket brake, freshly rebuilt
  • New one-off foot controls
  • New one-off pipes
  • New wheels

There's much more, but a well-built bike is more than just a collection of parts.  Take a look at the pictures, and see how the lines of the bike flow from the tank through the seat.  Check out the detail work, like AN fittings and braided black line for the oil lines instead of just rubber line and hose clamps.  The wiring and brake lines are all hidden, and the paint and molding work are fantastic.  I have pictures of all the in-progress fabrication work, and would be happy to email them to any serious bidders - you will see that all the fabrication work is top-notch.  I am a professional welder and fabricator, have worked in NASCAR, and have built several show-winning bikes along with the race cars and street rods that I work on every day - this is not a "back yard" build.

The starting price is well below even the cost of the parts for a motorcycle like this - if you've been looking at true one-of-a-kind motorcycles, you know this is a steal. 

I'm happy to answer any questions about the bike, and invite you to come check it out in person.  Pictures really don't do it justice, and you won't be disappointed.

The Ride of a Lifetime by Paul Teutul Sr.

Tue, 10 Mar 2009

According to the New York Post, David Letterman is a big motorcycle fan and could watch the same bike being built all week long. One of Letterman’s bikes did appear in the September 2008 issue of American Iron Magazine and he also wrote the forward to Paul Teutul Sr.’s new book “The Ride of a Lifetime” so I guess he walks the walk and talks the talk. If you don’t already know who Paul Teutul Sr.

The Nine-Cylinder Motorcycle

Fri, 17 May 2013

Most would think a radial airplane engine is best left for airplanes. Frank Ohle is not one of those people. This mad fabricator from Germany found himself in possession of a Rotec Radial R3600 airplane engine and decided the best place for it was not in the sky, but in fact on the ground, in a motorcycle.
