If there's a cooler bike on the planet, I can't imagine what it would be
WOW, WHAT A MACHINE! John P.
Peter Fonda is actually the one who came up with this concept. It was his Idea and is essentially responsible for the most famous Motorcycle ever built. Cliff Vaughs and Ben Hardy built this Bike. Can’t think of another one as famous.
Black Death 3, better known as the Marlboro Man bike is pretty famous and much copied too.
@@gorn9161 your right. It’s another amazing build. But if you ask 10 random people from 10 random places on earth what is the motorcycle you most remember it’s going to be “that bike with the American Flag “
And Dennis Hoppers' Bike in the same Easy Rider movie.
@@robbieoneil5945 Not as recognizable as "Captain America but just as iconic and every bit the masterpiece.
@@stevereed8786 True, but just as rememberable, a lot of Us think of the Billy Bike when We talk about the Captain America Bike as well & think about them both together.
Good job at the auction!
Thank you Bobby
Nice job on the Captain America replica!! Very accurate details. Have you sold it yet?
Getcha motor running ...
Head out on that highway

I’ve always wondered how they keep the chromed pipes from discoloration from the heat
Simple solution: don't start the engine. With kick starter, hard tail, no front brake but messed up frame geometry, more rake without reducing the trail, it is more a bike to look at than to ride.
1959? Never could understand why in the US the year of a motorbike is given after the engine, and not the frame. Panheads were built by HD till the mid 1960s, rigid hard tail frames only until 1957, and the wishbone only until 1955.
Peter Fonda's Harley in "Wild Angels" was similar although not near as pretty.
That one was called Dragon Bike. Also got copied.
Hello how much this bike ??😊
Custom built bikes change that
Great bike for a half an hour.
Depends on your riding ability. Ron
The bike is beautiful, the tank is horrible.
Are you familiar with the movie Easy Rider?
Important fact, both those Easy Rider Choppers were designed and built by a Black builder. His name was Sugar Bear. Look it up. The racial climate in 1969 suppressed that info. Awesome machines!!
Womit du völlig recht hast
Die Schwarze Bike Community...hat gute Chopper gebaut.
Ich glaube der Erbauer ist letztes Jahr erst verstorben😮
Nope, Ben Hardy and Cliff Vaughs built both bikes. Sugar is well known for his Springs and a front end specialist. He is still regarded at one the the first to introduce about a million innovations in Custom Manufacturing. A true pioneer and visionary.
@@stephanbernhardt5722 Keine Ahnung haben aber immer schön die politisch korrekte Meinung lauthals raushauen.
You better shut up because you have'nt done any looking up yet.
@@mattg432 Warum dürfen dunkle Menschen keine guten Chopper bauen..? :)) :))
Warst du in den 60ern dabei. :))
Die Literatur ist doch das wovon wir das kenn en.
Ich denke mal..
Auch die Japaner..Und Schweden bauen gute Chopper.
Minimo da salone
There are duplicate bikes
Could catch. Kinda what replica means
