Ciro the hero!

Most of the time its very hard for me to sell parts! But when I do, I'm happy when Ciro from Italy buys it and does something with it, like this here coffin tank with handpainted mural. It couldn't have gone on a more righteous scoot!


Gangster lean!

Awesome stance. Love that gauge cluster on the handlebars...

Nice and well balanced if you ask me. Cops cant hassle you cause everythings there! (front fender, speedo etc.)

The tank in question, Ciro added some nice color matched pinstripe flames. 

Check that highway bar, which doubles in function for the mile long clutch cable ;-)

Built in 69

according to Mats Hedenstrand:

"Its a 1939U 1200 sold new here in Sweden in 1940. It was bult as a chopper in 1969 in Rätvik Dalarna (Sweden) by Calle Jonason, He had help from his friend with this bike to look this cool. One of my best friend Urban was going to get a Chopper in 1973 and put a want ad , and he got a letter with this photo and was fore sale fore 6000skr , but his dad was a cop and say no! He got a 45 that was a little milder, Urban past away in 1985 and his mom gave me these old Photos , I had it framed over my work bench and this fall I bought a 1939 Flathead in a Denver frame and long glide front end , and it is the same bike but ruind in the 80's when it was chopped again." (the blue bike below)

I'll bet this was one of the most outreageous things on the road in Sweden of 1969!
Love that pearl salmon colored paint...



don't worry, this bike is now being rebuilt with an original frame/ springer etc.!

Tuesday Tankday!

Dig that Honda

I'm really liking these Honda diggers with hardhead frame conversion.
They're a cheap way to build a really rad bike
