If a chopper showed up……

Sportster
The front end may be off a big twin

Now that’s interesting . The challenge would be top moto mounts . Plus the carb sits high .

I think 500 Guzzi’s were junk . Although I cannot recall why.
You don’t see guzxi choppers bcz the jugs don’t allow        forweird controls .

Overall reliability and functionality I’ve heard.
Plus, the bike wants to fall to the left when you get on the throttle.  They say you get used to it, but hey, you gotta get used to it.

They might make better trikes.

Auction was today.
Prices stuff sold for I edited below pics.  

No.  I didn’t buy.

[Fatfatboy]

Good prices

[hacksaw]

For example?
Parts is parts.
But junk still is junk !

[hacksaw]

Not junk ! Sweet bobber!

Ya that does look good.  

Imho there were 3 deals that could have been the start of
a Cyclevisor build.

The Sportster parts for $160.
Talk about a blank canvas.

That black rebel, I think that was a 450.

Or that Kawasaki brown and white touring thing.
I believe that was a 750.  A vertical twin. Spoke wheels.
Low miles, titled. I think it went for 325.

Any of them were good seeds.
I know, I know, but they aren’t beezers, but I really dgaf.

Myself, something along the line of the Billy bike…….
not just like it, but kinda, might be cool.  

I almost sprung on the Sportster, 100 or under and it would be clogging the garage along with the 4 other bikes
I have.  One of which runs.  

Na, time to get what I got going.

That being said……where’s that Billy bike pic?

Much nicer than the capt America bike.
And I am guessing the Billy bike isn’t even chopped. Looks like a stock pan frame  to me. But I am no pan expert.
The fork tubes maybe a little over and the 21” front wheel makes it look chopperesque but I am wondering if one of the most famous choppers wasn’t actually chopped!
Unless cutting off the Speedo bracket counts .

The Billy Bike was my favorite of the two.
I liked the stance.
It looked like a brawler, ready to fight.
Whereas I felt Captain America was too gorgeous, too … regal. Iconically the better of the two, but royalty ain’t getting dirty.

A very large percentage of the moto people I know would agree.
