My amigo, Tom “The German” Steinbacher, of Demon’s Cycle South wanted ta show the world what kinda eye candy ya can build without takin’ out a second mortgage, or drainin’ the crumb snatchers’ college fund, so he bought a used 2005 Sporty, an’ like Phoenix risin’ from the ashes, (Hell, I didn’t even know the place was on fire!) it rose again ta become the show stopper ya see here!
Other than the donor bike, everything ya see here can be ordered online through Demon’s Cycle’s web site. Bein’ a worldwide operation, they buy in bulk ta get the best prices, an’ pass ‘em on ta you an’ me. Even the crew at Demon’s is international, with V.P. Art Rodos, his brother George, an’ Biker Willy bein’ from Russia; G.M. Al Smith from “The Big Apple”; Big Sammy from Haiti; Jose Garcia from the L.A. “Hood”; Good Ol’ Robert from Hungary; an’ Mudflap from the wilds of Tennessee. They’re all good guys, an’ they’re ready ta help ya build the ride of yer dreams!
Now let’s say yer turtle-steppin’ down the beach, an’ there’s this really hot li’l honey playin’ beach volleyball, but she ain’t payin’ a damn bit of attention ta you. All of a sudden, it dawns on ya: I’ll bet if I had a chopper, she’d notice me! Now that’s the right answer ta yer problem, all right, but ya have a couple of different ways ta get where ya want ta go.
Can ya just go buy a scoot from one of the big name builders, an’ ride it home? Sure ya can, but where’s the fun in that, an’ aren’t ya gonna feel silly when some li’l hottie asks ya “who built it?” She probably wouldn’t know who the hell yer talkin’ about anyway, but if ya can tell her “I did,” she’ll damn well be impressed by THAT! Especially if ya built it for twelve grand, like Tom did, instead of spendin’ eighty grand at some fancy showroom. Hell, you’ll even have enough left over ta buy a car for when it rains!
Well, that’s enough daydreamin’ about the beach, the hotties, an’ the drinks with little umbrellas in ‘em. Let’s get back ta the Sporty project, an’ how it went together.Startin’ with a drop seat frame for a 250 rear tire, he dropped in the 1200cc Sporty mill an’ tranny. Next came the 12” over springer front end, an’ the Weld racin’ wheels with Avon skins. Stoppin’ power comes from chrome four piston calipers on 11” rotors. The forward controls, pipes, drag bars, chrome billet risers, air cleaner, headlight, taillight / license plate mount, an’ all the other goodies ya see are all “in stock” items from Demon’s. The seat was custom made by South Florida Choppers.
If ya want ta take this jewel home with ya, yer shit outa luck, ‘cause it’s already been sold to an accountant in Aruba, but buildin’ yer own’s more fun anyway. Like Tom said the other day, “It’s all about fun! It’s fun to build your own custom bike, and it’s fun to ride it around and watch the girls looking you over wherever you go! We sell our parts and rolling chassis all over the world; China, Korea, Russia, Australia, and even some places we can’t find on the map… But we know that as long as Fed-Ex will deliver to wherever it is, there’ll be another happy biker.”
Do I buy from Demon’s Cycle? Bet yer ass I do! I get great parts at great prices, like my Ultima 250 frame for an upcomin’ Evo project. I have Demon’s parts on my Softail, an’ my Shovelhead, too. If you’ve ever seen my ol’ Shovel, ya know, it’s no slouch in the looks department, an’ it has a bunch of Demon’s parts on it!
If yer not sure ya have the necessary tools, talent, or ambition ta build yer own scoot, Demon’s also has a video CD that’ll walk ya through the process. That is, if ya can keep yer mind off the little cuties that are doin’ the assembly, an’ on the bike they’re assemblin’!
