It's interesting what other Gt owners are also interested in and how many times our passions cross path's
I am also a fan of the Ducati and in my life so far i have owned over 400 bikes.
I just finished this 1928 two cam Harley, it's an 80 C.I. motor in a lowered and shortened frame from the period, These were refered to as california cut downs, the word chopper came around years later.
Tom Sifton of San Jose California had a group of friends after the war that were know as the booze fighters and built bikes like these to raise hell up and down the california coast line. They were truely the first guys to modify these early harleys.
I spent 4 years collecting all the right parts to finish this bike to exact speck's and some of the parts you see on this bike came from the Tom Sifton estate sale after he died. I also have a dear friend in Santa Paula Ca that was Steve McQueens Mech and rideing buddy so he furnished me with everything else i needed. I have only ridden it a couple times because it's a frickin hand full to keep from killing my self on. 80 cubic inches and only one friction brake. It's also a flame thrower. :eek
