FourFather Eddie Hill's Personal Captain America Chopper
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOR SALE
I thought I would keep this bike forever; but I have been blessed with so
many toys that I don't have time to devote to all of them. This bike is too
nice to be sitting. Somebody needs to be enjoying it.
I had the bike built to my exact specs and colors. I had wanted a Captain
America chopper ever since I saw Easy Rider. To me, it looks better
than Peter Fonda's, but with all the modern components and engine.
I had my Eddie Hill's Fun Cycles motorcycle dealership name painted on the
rear fender to use it as an advertising tool.
The bike has been used primarily in parades, shows, special events, and TV
commercials. It was the centerpiece of our local Tea Party on April 15th.
Last year the late Lloyd Ruby and I rode side-by-side to lead a parade here
in Wichita Falls. Of course, I had to ride it around town on other
occasions to show it off to my business associates and friends, but I've put
only 983 miles on it. I don't recall ever riding it past the city limits.
Someone with more time to exercise the bike needs to have it.
The bike lives in my air-conditioned office at our dealership. The only
time it's outside is when I'm riding it or showing it.
I've been blessed with a lot of exceptionally nice cars, boats, and bikes in
my life; but I don't think anything I've ever had (on the street) generated more attention,
smiles, nods, thumbs up, or photographs than this beautiful Captain America
chopper.
The bike was constructed on the West Coast by Vicious Cycles in Bakersfield,
California. We were so impressed with the quality and appearance of these
choppers that we became their franchised dealer for the Texas-Oklahoma area.
I ordered this one with high-end specs to demonstrate what was possible and
to help spread the word that we are selling this type of bike, along with
Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Polaris brands, among others.
The bike has never been raced, dropped, scratched, or damaged in any way. I
have ridden the bike very gently, and it is as mechanically and cosmetically
perfect as it was when we received it. It's really hard to tell the bike
has been ridden at all.
Specs are as follows:
2005 Vicious Villian Chopper
Harley Davidson 95 inch factory twin cam engine w/ diamond cut cylinder
fins (the edges of the fins sparkle like diamonds!)
Hogbreath intake with big Mikuni carburetor
Six-speed transmission with excellent shifting
Fabrication, assembly, and paint by Vicious Cycle
Kraft Tech frame- 1 3/8 diameter tubing
Sway Away shocks (looks like a hardtail )
Thunder Heart electrical
Wilwood Brakes
Street Sweeper Exhaust- It is loud, but oh, what a sweet sound!!
120/70 x 21 Metzler ME 88 Front tire
240/40 x 18 Metzler ME 88 Rear tire
The bike looks like a hardtail, but it has concealed rear suspension and is
actually the best riding and handling chopper I've ever ridden.
Since we are the franchised dealer for this line of motorcycles, it has not
been registered, and you will be the first registered owner. Retail price on mine is $34,000, and I'm offering it now for $29,995.
We would entertain the possibility of a trade-in of a motorcycle, ATV or
Side by Side utility vehicle, or anything else that we could sell in our
motorcycle store. We would also discuss the possibility of financing the sale ourselves.
I'm pretty much full-time playing now and not at the dealership very often,
but you can call our Eddie Hill's Fun Cycles store at (940)-322-4121 and
speak to Roger Fowler, Monty Long, or Trey Sralla and
they can answer your questions.

Thanks for looking!
