// DICK KKK PART 2 //
Ho Mungo,
I'm glad that you like my bike.
This
bike was build by me in a little shed in the black forest. It was a
typical 1940 Knuckle Chopper imported to germany in the 80ies, owned by
one guy till I bought a completly run down rolling chassis out of a shed
and forgotten for the last 10 years. Apehanger, long sissybar, 21 in
the front and 16" in the back was the look. Nice, but not my style. The
engine was a complet mess and almost impossible to restore. The owner
anyway wanted to keep it. Not getting a payable original engine I got a
much cheaper and good priced S&S engine. Great powerfull engine and I
will enjoy it till prices drop or I get a good deal for an old one, so I
hope.
Before I bought the bike I had a precise
idea about how the bike had to look. Flattrack look, slim and elegant
shape, narrow wheels. All newly build parts should look like made in the
50ies. No billet aluminium, no Hitec, just a pur bike with a big
engine. So I build the handlebar, the tank, seatsuspention, painting and
air brush and all the small parts, you can see on the picts, myself.
That took me about 2 years to build. Not having a lot of time I did some
of testrides the last 1,5 years and now the bike is ready for nice
trips. And yes I am thinking about Linkert Attacks and Chimay.
So I hope to meet you somewhere on the road this year...
Greets
Dirk
