Digger Monday...Whammer Jammer II



This bike was originally built by Bob "The Greek" in San Leandro for Larry Cumforman and named Whammer Jammer. Long story short, this bike never made it past the show circuit, due to mechanical issues. The boys at Custom Cycle magazine were interested in it, and Ron Simms (BACC) persuaded Larry to sell it to them. After sorting out all the issues, it hit the streets as Whammer Jammer II.
Fred Schirmer built the frame, forks, tank and fender. If you notice, the whole drivetrain drops out, thanks to that trick sub-frame. Pretty f'n cool! Besides "The Greek" and Schirmer, BACC, California Cycle Works, Horst, Steve Ellington and Stu Lundberg all had their hands in the build of this innovative scoot.

Trike Thursday...CCW's Bubble Top

Is now residing at the Motorcyclepedia Museum in Newburgh, NY. I cannot say enough about this place. It's the Playboy Mansion of motorcycling with a collection put together by two guys that love bikes. 
In January, I posted some pics of the "restoration". This bike is in surprisingly excellent shape for a show bike of it's age.

Digger Monday...The Viper Sidecar



The Viper sidecar rig is a product of three guys who joined forces to create Advance Concepts. The digger is a Kawi 1000 caged in a SB&F frame with a fifteen over girder supplied by CCW. This rig was so f'n hot, you would of thought every digger would've been runnin' one. These guys should've sold a bunch of these, I wonder what happened?
