Renegade Issue 28

I found the frame behind a shed on a tip by a friend.

I think it`s an All Soul from the 70`s. It had a locked

up Honda 750four on it. So I took it to my brother

from another mother, Jeff`s house who had a little

shop, 80 miles away...long trip home at 2am. I then

bought an Evo 1200 for it but it just didn`t have the

right look after a while...so I shafted a local lawyer

out of an 82 Ironhead who had taken it for payment,

and we were on our way. We didn’t have a “theme”

in mind...just wanted to get it goin’. I was bend-

ing the curly seat pan supports and Jeff said “That

looks awful sissy” and I said “No it don`t...looks like

Snidely Whiplash`s mustache.” Theeennn the juic-

es got to flowing and the ideas got to coming. Ya

see, I`m the idea man and Jeff makes it happen...

that`s the way we`ve been ever since we were

younguns. You push down on the dynamite plunger

and the flames blow out the pipes. You pull up to a

stop sign and the Grandeur Cycles automatic clutch

makes it go to idle. It’s got a Jockey shifter from an

old sickle that jams the 4speed tranny. Snidely is a

blast to ride; however the best part of the build was

the experience with my brother.

Peace,
