You ever see that commercial on TV where the guy is in his gerage/ drive way, and hes giving his car THE STARE? I cant even recall now what kind of commercial it is right now (I mean what they are selling)? Anyway, I was out in my garage a bit ago, just kinda grooving and going my thing. Im really into motorcycles and I was just kinda giving one of my bikes (its pretty wicked) THE STARE....and it hit me....a Phantasm Chopper... Has anyone ever built one? Any of you guys ever seen one? Im sure there must be? Cuz its rare that I would think of something that hasnt already been thought of or done a million times..... But any how, if I built one I started thinking "what would it be like"? Im my opinion it would have to be an American made V twin motor. Id do a pretty rad (but not to rad) chopper type bike. Stretched & raked a bit, 240 rear tire probably, I like a fat tire but not to fat. Of course it would be a black bike maybe some flake in it, in the brite sun. Of course Id incorporate as much Phantasm memorabilia into the bike as possible. Im pretty conservative so I dont normaly like lots of graphics (on my bikes) but Id have to do them on this bikes. Most likely (just sitting here thinking) of the Tall Man. I was thinking maybe a sphere intake/air cleaner. Or sphere mirrors?..... A tuning fork front end? Would that be to weird? I think Id make it a springer. Im not that into springers but on this bike I think it would make it a bit more wicked. Pluse it would make it easer to do a tuning fork front end if I wanted to use that idea. I was thinking of doing something with the finders to maybe give them a hearse look some how, I dunno?....... Im not to into sissy bars to much but again I think Id do one on this bike. One with some sort of Phantasm theme. A Phantasm bike just now came to me so I really havent given much thought to it yet........What are you guys thoughts on it? What kind of Phantasm bike would you build?......What Phantasm theme items would you try to incorporate into the bike?......COME ON PEOPLE.....lets hear some ideas!
ps...I think the RegMan would look pretty sporty cruzing the desert highways on this scoot!
