OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
If you are a fan of custom choppers, you already know about Rick Fairless. If this is new to you, Rick's business is called Strokers Dallas. He has been a regular on KRLD-FM, with his show, "The Texas Hardtails Scooter Show," and more recently, he has been seen on the Discovery Channel's, "Biker Build-Off," and the Speed Channel's, "Texas Hardtails." He's even had customs exhibited at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center. His forte is portraying entire eras on a custom motorcycle, and today, we are selling one of his personal bikes that features images of the 1960s called "Psychedelic". With an amazing paint job that covers almost every part of the bike, Rick created a bike like nothing you've ever seen.
Rick, himself, described "Psychedelic" like this: "We built the "Psychedelic" chopper in 2003. At the time, choppers were pretty minimalistic motorcycles, but my vision was to build a custom chopper that was state-of-the-art and completely full of art! I wanted a hardtail chopper with its roots deep in the 1960s, with a long, lean, rigid frame with lots of stretch up front and a springer front end, and of course - a big motor! I designed the paint to be psychedelic and called it "Everything 1960s"! The paint included names like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Haight Ashbury, Rat Fink, Frank Zappa, and even Charles Manson. I like to mix words in with the designs so there are sayings like: Draft Beer Not People, Make Love Not War, The Beatles, Twilight Zone and much more. You can stare at the "Psychedelic" chopper all day and still come back the next day and see cool stuff that you missed the day before! So, the bottom line is, that when we built the "Psychedelic" chopper, it caused a stir in the custom motorcycle industry because it was so different from all the other choppers that were being built at the time. To this day, there is still nothing like the "Psychedelic" chopper, and I think it's one of the coolest custom choppers on the planet! I built this motorcycle for my own use, but I've owned it now for over 20 years, so it's time for someone else to enjoy this important part of American Custom Motorcycle History!"
If a bike that features modern performance, classic lines, an integrated frame tank, and more '60s graphics than you've ever seen on a motorcycle tickles your interest, pay attention to a very unique opportunity. Look twice - or more - at "Psychedelic," because there is an amazing balance of artistry and engineering in this Rick Fairless masterpiece.
