The Ride.



This is a '67 T100C chopper built by the original owner in the late 60's early 70's. It was parked after the death of the owner, the son held onto it for a little while, then sold it to a dude in western MA. When I dragged it home the pistons were stuck, and the rear tire was flat, but with a little love and some help from the fish, I got the motor free and the tires filled.



I really love the spun aluminum oil tank and matching velocity stack, the bars were funny to me, and the front end seemed wrong at first, But now i'm digging the original stance. Unfortunatley the seat is just too wide for its own good, and really makes the bike look chunky when you walk up to it, but maybe some day i'll trim it down or outfit a classy replica.

This whole thing started in July, and I'm feeling about 50% done right now. as long as the lady's car runs and i have a job, I'll be jammin' in the summer time.
