| This bike has quite a history . As the story goes, it is
a 44' 741 30.50 military bike that was originally sent to Hawaii for
duty . After the war it stayed on the islands, was modified into
a bobber, and much later ended up in the hands of the rock band "
Metallica" . The bike then migrated to the mainland, where I bought
it at the antique motorcycle show in Davenport (03'). I have since made
many changes to the bike, but the paint and the basic style is the same.
I ride it all the time , it is really a lot of fun and it draws quite a
lot of attention. The 12 volt alternator keeps the lights bright at
night, and the straight pipes help announce my presence !
My Harley
friends are surprised by the acceleration and all around great
performance of this bike . I'm a die-hard Indian fan , I'll be back in
Davenport again next year looking for another project ! A Chief bobber
