Big Truth's Shovelhead Chopper

Big Truth opened the shop for me when I was visiting Mass during my east coast invasion. The man, Thy Myth, the Legend that is Big Truth built this tidy shovel with inspiration from old club bikes. For some reason I look at this bike and think nothing but rainbows and happy thoughts. I doubt that is the message Truth is trying to get across, but wouldn’t be the first time that I've misinterpreted something. 

Owner: Big Truth

 

Bike name: Sex Panzer 60% of the time it works every time. It ZmellZ like big foots dick.

Engine: 56 pan/ shovel, Frankenstein motor built in Texas by a club guy when it got to the shop was taken apart and gone over then put back together. Engine engraving was done with a hammer and chisel by Chris.

Tire/wheel size and style: Front is a 21” Chica invader wheel with a speedmaster, rear is 16” OG invader with Avon rubber.

Favorite thing about this bike: (From Truth) I had it at the Boston show and a guy was looking at it and stated “ this bike looks like it had rapes on it”. I always wanted to build a 60’s style club bike. This was a good opportunity to show the shop is capable of branching from the normal triumph deal. This bike came together exactly like I had it in his head for a lot of years, timeless and will I'll never get sick of it. 

 

Next modification will be: Change the sissy bar a bit but nothing drastic.
