Joe (circa 1973), in Iowa on a cross country trip with Dick Allen. Note the added double sissy bar with auxiliary fuel tank. White Bear is still the ultimate South Bay Chopper in my book.

- Been drawing as long as I can remember and into bikes since 1967. I do other kinds of art but enjoy painting and drawing motorcycle related stuff the most. I do commissioned artwork and sell limited edition prints.

Those wheels are kick ass too!
You're always welcome Chris, just like Joe was ...
very cool....youse a learning me, thanks Chris - as a NYC resident the South Bay style always escaped me a bit.....I can see how this machine, really pulls together all the aspects of that style - but i wonder how come the super tight cockpit when, i mean they could have easily done a wee bit of frame work to make the machine less crowded.....
SteveB, Most early South Bay bikes just had the frames raked to accommodate the long springers. Some later ones had some stretch or a kicked out neck area like Bruce's later did, and there were the few goose necks. Joe's bike actually had the hardtail section lengthened 1.5 inches but I believe it was only on the bottom tubes which would for the most part, make it lower.
fuck yea!!!
