I'm happy for Carpy, but I bet Cafes are the next step after choppers. Wanna bet in one year you will have Carpy on a major TV program, just like Jesse James? Then, expect old Honda's price to skyrocket.

P.S. Cool cover!!!

June Cycle World, and now this month's Motorcycle Classics.  Carpy's doing something right - besides making great bikes that is.

I let my subscription run out dammit. I have the renewal form right in front of me...just sitting there. I was wondering why they didn't have a feature on the SOHC4 in the first issues that I got. I guess they were waiting to do this article :)

As many of you know, I borrowed (stole) ideas for my  bike from Carpy.   Hell, he provided some of the parts and the seat  ;D

Anyway.......I was out on a tear the other day. As I pulled into a parking spot at the pub, this guy comes walking with wide open eyes straight towards me. He says..WOW I just saw your bike in Cycle Magazine. Took me a moment and then remembered Carpys last mag feature and had to spill the beans that mine was not the bike in the Mag ;D

Still, it was kind of fun ;D

Theres a guy in Eastern NY who has a shop full of Carpy style bikes that he builds and sells. I saw a couple on Ebay a few weeks ago. Less than $1000.00 last I saw.  Kind of Spooky seeing a photo of his shop with what looks like 10 bikes that were all the same. I mean they were all black, with the logo and checkers.

Anyone know where I can pick up a copy in Orlando, FL? I went to a few bookstores looking for it. When I asked about the magazine the clerks just looked at me like an alien had just fallen out of my head. "Soooooo I take it you DON'T carry it then..."  >:(

Cool, then we can have an "Anubis Cycle -vs- Carpy" build off and watch it heat up on the forum.  ;D

What forum? It should have to air on Discovery Channel!!!

Can you imagine that?


Don't forget the "Builder attitude 101": Cross your arms at chest height and clench your fist. Only enraged people build cool bikes...  ;D

I would have to go buy a handlebar moustache (like Paul Sr. from OCC) and practice my yelling  ;D

The hell with yelling, just pull out the 'ol pipe wrench, have an out-of-body experience and watch the ratings skyrocket.
