Hoodlum

From Pete in North West Colorado, USA. A great series of pictures. Pete owns this beautiful Panhead

This 1950 panhead is so complete and original that Pete have had a hard time converting it to a bobber, witch is why he bought himself a ´69 FL basket case.

This great looking chopper is garage built on a tight budget, using a lot of parts accumulated over the years. I really love the early shovel engine, it is just so "CHOPPER" and I think Pete has done a hell of a good job on this one.

Chopper rule!!!

Been out of town for a couple of days, the swap in Sweden was ok, not great, but ok. I got myself a set of exhaust for big twin flathead, made by Cycle Enterprises, probably late sixties, early seventies??

Now back to what this was about. Pierre-Yves in Switzerland owns this beauty:

It's a 1946 FL 74 cu.in. Knucklehead. Here is a list of all the custom parts: Hap Jones peanut gastank (painted by owner), NOS Triumph Bonneville rear-fender, Roberti Seat, Handmade footpegs with GT cycle parts, NOS 70's rectangulare headlight, suicide clutch, jockey shift, T-bat on 6" risers.

Pierre also runs a web-site to help out bikers in his area. tjeck it out:

When I first saw this bike, I was sure it was built in California. I was very happy to realise it was european made. I hope every other european chopper builder out there will help make this blog even better by sending me pics of there ride... that goes for the rest of the world as well....

Hey, I'm of to Sweden now, for the Skøvde Swap... Here is a little something for the weekend. A very nice looking bobber, just the way I like it. Rough tuff with lots of desirable parts.

This beauty belongs to my friend Søren Balling.

Here is a real and much sought after chopper part, the ARIS headlight. Looks great as single or dual mounted, as seen on these pics. There is also a square model, more common than than these.

I don't understand. I have had these pictures for a very long time now, but must have forgotten about them, sorry...

The bike belongs to my good friend Henrik "Pjusk". Henrik was living in Oslo-Norway, at the time he bought the bike, so it was only natural that he sought the help from our common friend, Gard at Company MC. Gard made drawings and sketches of the bike, and the build was on....nice result:

I really like the paintjob, I think the colours are great. And the exhaust is so .. KILLER ..

From Gianluca in Rome, Italy - I got these pictures. I know a lot of you wants an old engine in your chopper, but remember when the Hells Angels ran the streets of San Francisco late sixties, a brand new early shovel engine was the hottest thing ever.

I think Gianluca did a hell of a job on his bike, using a lot of classic detail, like chrome british rear-fender, Ford taillight, Bates style seat, Sporster gastank with pinstriping.

The pinstriping was done by one of the very best, Ettore "Captain Blaster". I hope to do a feature on Blaster later on, showing his fantastic panhead chopper and a lot of his famous pinstriping....
