Digger Monday...Two Bad In A Van

Digger Tuesday...Something "Especial"

What happened to Digger Monday? I've been super busy. Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
Remember Arlen's Especial? After finishing the show circuits and being street ridden for awhile, Arlen yanked the motor and sold it. Interestingly enough, the powerplant that was removed was used in Ness-tique. Anyway, Ed Sorenson picked up the pieces with the help of Barry Cooney and got this killer digger back on the road. Jim Davis and Arlen built the frame. It uses rubber blocks on either side of the swingarm center for suspension. It works very similar to a draft gear on a railroad car, and allowed for 2" of travel in both directions. Bob Monroe fabbed the oil and gas tanks. Of course, the leaf was done by the best there ever was, Jeff McCann.

Touring Bike...

Fuck your bagger, tour in style!

Digger Monday...Nicholson's Nightmare

Digger Monday...Willie G's "East Wind"

First off, this Willie is from Strong Island, NY, not Milwaukee. Willie's had alot of success on the show circuit with this scoot. It was built in late '78 for the '79-80 ISCA series in which it took top honors. Right after the awards, this scoot hit the streets running.
Even though it's an East coast bike, the chassis is made up of mainly West coast components. The frame, forks and tank are Ness units. The Morris mags and Performance Machine rear brakes are the work of Perry Sands. Straight back handlebars were fabbed by Billy Budde. The engine is a beautiful peice. the cylinders have undergone some weight reduction in the case of fin removal. The jugs were than given a healthy coat of that shiny stuff and painted to match the bike, but leaving the chrome exposed on the fins. Induction is provided by a DHLA and exhaust is a custom Kenny Davis unit. The engraving was done by one of the best in the biz, Dave Perewitz.

Sporties Forever...

One of my favorite Ness pics from the incredible ZZChop blog. It's a shame Arlen had the van painted red sometime in the 90's, I loved it in black.
