Martin Bro's really fell into that tacky ugly chopper trend of this era and those bikes looks ridiculously bad. Kudos to the Aussies and Brit's for building bikes that still look good today.

That long curved springer was awesome. I do not get why he did not see that. I know everyone sees their own style but that curved springer would sell like hotcakes if somebody was to start manufacturing them. I would want one for my 1974 Z1A Amen Saviour chopper. When I built it in 2012 I went with wide glide 6" over Ultima tubes. Next and final will be a springer 8" over. .. Man I LOVED that curved Springer on that American Chopper. Not only the visuals I liked BUT I had never seen that done before.. What an original and another reason for it to be on that chopper. OKay My Opinion ... and I think I am a pretty good judge of Choppermania!

The problem with these stretched out bikes as built by the Martin Brothers is they have the turning radius of a Mac truck. They are hard to handle except when running straight. I remember building my necked and stretched 1949 Panhead years ago and it looked great, but handling was terrible.

What do you do with it, you ask... Well, you walk by it as you stroll thru the shop, pause momentarily, gaze at it while thinking to yourself.... I am truly thankful I couldn't afford one of these when it was originally built, but hey It's one of a kind!! And that's basically what they had everyone sold on, definitely not performance. Funny thing is I was able to get damn near the same sound and effect out of an old Honda V twin Shadow 500 I was chopping up. I set it down low, raked the front, put shiny chrome strait pipes and kept the rest all ratty like. It looked and sounded mean!....But it was still just a little old Honda Shadow, Unless your scared of SHADOWS...

They are really all good looking bikes. But a hand build aluminium hammered body is true, true craftmanship. Not trying to undermine the two other builders. Thing is also with Joe's idea with the bend springer fork. They are NOT safe to ride on a motorcycle. Because with a fork like that, you will have what I call the "fish effect". Where to entire bike flexes like a fish, and not like a regular fork. And it is dangerous. So I'm glad he didn't do it. It would look cool I think, but it'll be seriously dangerous.

So, the Yanks make the same bike over and over, while trying to convince themselves they're 'bad-ass', repeating it again and again. The Brits make IKEA bikes, assembled from parts made by sub-contractors, and flaunt branded belt-buckles, while trying to convince themselves that they're 'tuff' and 'manly'. And the Aussie actually MAKE his bike practically from scratch, hard work and sweat. Well, I know which one of them I'd prefer. Of course, given an ABSOLUTE choice...I'd go with a Gasoline Alley bike.

I respectfully disagree... the bike should be designed for its intended use. It would be like saying “A Corvette is a cool car, but shouldn’t a car be able to carry 4 passengers and their dog on vacation?” If you want a bike that corners, buy rice. If you want a car to carry your family and some groceries, buy a minivan. If you want style, buy a Vette or a custom bike.
