Digger Monday...Turbo Man




Here's a sweet turbo pan digger with all the usual goodies. I found this scoot for sale locally. The bad news is this guy has his heart set on 24 g's. That's not gonna happen  giving the shape she's in. There's a lot of potential if the price was right.
Nothing says I'm flippin' a bike like pictures on a flatbed or trailer. For God's sake, put the thing on the ground for pics! Just sayin'.

Digger Monday...Nicholson's Nightmare

Digger Monday...Unicorns Rule



Check out this '79 XLH built by BACC. This one's sporting one of  their hardheads, a Rajay turbo kit, PM wheels, Sifton disc setup and it makes for a pretty trick sled. The engraving was done by the one and only Rudy Pena. Now if you're wandering what's up with the Horst paint job, it's a funny story. See this scoot was built for a cat in Japan. Customs were a no-no, so he brought it through customs as a piece of art. Probably knowing this, Horst figured this dude's getting a fuckin' unicorn. Fuck yeah!

Regrets...

This was up for sale on feeBay a few weeks ago. I saw it in the morning before I left for work. I didn't use the buy it now because I wanted to make sure I could arrange to have a buddy pick it for me. By the time I had my ducks in a row (which was around 2), she was sold! Fuck, next time I'll just buy it and worry about shipping later.

Digger Monday...Pantastic!

Here's a local Jersey digger from back in the day. The turbo setup was added later. Thanks to Rob for finding these pics!

Digger Monday...The Immaculate Induction





This righteous sled was built by J.A.R. Choppers, in Bayside, NY. This fucker was built in late '82/'83 and is typical of the over the top, mind blowin' diggers of the early '80's rolling out of J.A.R.'s.

Digger Monday...Kevin Ness's Big Wheel

Whenever talk turns to diggers, someone always brings up the Big Wheel. Most people don't realize this was built by Arlen's brother Kevin. He worked at the shop in the mid to late '70's. I'm not sure at what capacity, but I have to imagine he did whatever needed to be done. There's very little info in the mags on Kevin, if you have any info, email me at xlr8n13@Gmail.com.

Bob Hannah's "Chicago"

830 cc's of turbo'd Honda madness. The bike was built in '81 and took almost every major award in '82.

Digger Monday...Turbos




A whole lot easier than supercharging. I'm sure a guy building a turbo setup thinks the opposite. Either way, force feeding a sporty is a pain in the ass!
