Chopper Chopper description

$32,000.00 original build (yes – I have almost every single receipt) and another $3,000.00 in additional parts and sorting time in this bike. Hand-built by professional builder with 20+ years experience. The bike is well-balanced, and great to ride, but could also just be a living room display bike, if that’s what you are interested in.

Every part and component is perfectly suited to the style of the bike. Attention to detail throughout with fantastic custom paint job and hand–fabrication. Lots of compliments and conversation around the bike whenever it's been out. The bike is well sorted, starts easily and is nicely tuned.

Not selling due to money issues, so please don’t waste my time - or yours – unless you are a serious buyer with money in-hand. I have set a low, but realistic reserve price for the bike. It could easily be a trailer queen show bike (that’s what it basically is). Two kids and two businesses have left me few opportunities to ride. The bike should be enjoyed, and after eight summers approximately 885 miles on it. I have the title in hand, and have had no problem with registration or insurance, as it is titled as a manufacturer Rolling Thunder.

The color is a rich burgundy. There is a small paint chip (1/8 inch) on the left lower downtube, and a gouge in the lower metal lip of the rear fender just above the chain path due to the chain scuffing it, but it’s hard to see unless you get up almost under the bike and are looking for it, as it is under the oil tank. I have a small bottle of the original paint for touch-ups. There is a tiny, hair-thin scratch on the front rim, and a very small nick (less than 1/8”) on the front fork downtube.

If you can see the bike in person, I highly recommend it. It is one of the most eye-catching and meticulously hand-crafted motorcycles I have ever seen. The paint job was featured in a book on custom painting techniques ( I have the book). I did not intend on buying this bike when I originally setup the appointment to see it, but simply wanted to meet the builder, and get a sense of the rider position of the bike, as I liked the look of its stance in the builder’s FOR SALE photo. I bought it the day I saw it in his shop. The bike has been photographed for a calendar.

BUILD INFORMATION:

80 inch polished S&S bottom with Edelbrock heads (10:1 compression). Heads are hexagon shaped.

I have an additional Bates style 4 3/4” sealed beam headlight, but I like the larger 5 1/2” Bates style on it now. I also have a set of authentic WCC Hell Bent exhaust pipes ($800 new) that originally came on the bike. They are LOUD. The battery is new, and the tires treads are barely worn, but since the bike is rarely ridden, the tires have developed a bit of sidewall cracking.

I have attempted to describe the condition of the bike as accurately and completely as possible. I make no warranties --- this is a custom bike and is being sold as-is,where-is from both a safety and mechanical standpoint.

I will deliver the bike anywhere in Albuquerque/Santa Fe for free and/or to any shipping dock in Albuquerque. Your shipper must pack the bike! Shippers will not insure the bike unless they pack it themselves, and you must pay for the insurance!

Grand Theft Auto IV Add-On: Time to Join A Biker Gang

Fri, 13 Feb 2009

Let’s get the usual Grand Theft Auto talk out of the way: Yes, in GTA4 you can steal cars, kill innocent civilians (and not-so innocent civilians), hire prostitutes, and go to a strip club to get a lap dance. You’ve heard about Grand Theft Auto’s reputation before, I’m not going to repeat it again. What hardly gets out into the mass media is the quality of the game, from visuals to story telling.
