It's kinda the last thing I need or want but sometimes that's just that.
A few years ago my very best friend died of cancer. All of his bikes went to another friend. That was cool as those 2 rode together and hung out for years before I even knew Jerry. Well anyway, he now say's he won't be doing anything with them and wants them out of his way.
He offered to give them back to Jerry's wife but a bunch of old bikes (most are basket cases) is not on her list. But it was cool of him to offer them to her first. So she didn't know what to do and called me. She asked me what this stuff is worth and said she needs help to just sell it all. He has a few stock ones that are in real ruff shape but to a collector would be worth something. I think this bike would be used for parts at best. But in the 70's when Jerry built it it was a very cool bike and his pride and joy.
Jerry built this bike when he was 19 and loved this thing. He put s hit loads of miles on it only like a 19 ~ 21 year old kid could do on a hard tail chopper. I told his wife that's pretty much all that's left and it would be a real shame to see it get parted out or to just loose track of it.
So in a nut shell she's going to let me hang on to it. I want to do some re-chrome and get Krazy Colors to spray some black paint for me. Then I'll just put in in the lobby of my shop and just let it chill. I'll prolly never start it but it will be like my bro is hangin out with me. I know it's strange but oh well.
Anyway here's an old skool chopper "custom" built in the mid 70's. The last I knew was it had a 1947 650 c.c engine but I know he had a '57 engine for it too. I think the '47 is in it but not sure.
