3G Sturgis Chopper

[kingfish254]

I found this posted on craigslist and figured I would document the bike here since I had never heard of it before.
It's not mine, but you can see it posted here. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bik/5105054068.html

I just wanted to post up the pics for future reference. Apparently there weren't many of these made and even fewer of them remained in the US.

I'll email Gary and see if he can give me the background on it...that's pretty wild looking!

The seller was or is a 3G dealer and had three of these (two of which he sold early on). This one has been a showpiece since it was new.

Supposedly the fork cost made them impractical to continue making them.
Most ended up over in Australia and Asia.

I know that some of the Daytona models had the same wild handlebars.

My humble opinion... that's ugly as sin.

I would call it "conflicted".

Fugly indeed!

Well, all this being said, what a parts bike! I think those bars would force me to go all apey/chopper on my spaceliner.

I think the interesting thing would be to actually ride the bike.

While it does look pretty strange, you can see how certain aspects are set up for comfort.

Looks like it might ride like a lazyboy with wheels!

The bars on these Daytonas have always intrigued me.
I did find this video of an electrified one over in Russia. It gives you a sense of scale and riding position.

I found this trike custom on one of the German bike building sites.

Looks better as a trike....with the triple trees too.
