Jimmy's Evo/Pan/Shovel


133 E. Jericho Turnpike Mineola, NY 11501	*Caught Ya Lookin'!*

	516-248-1850

No, it isn't a panhead, but as we noted in the title of this feature, we caught you looking!

Here's the story according to Dave, co-owner of Cycle Creations.

"Jimmy's a gearhead, 100%. He owns a fleet of cars which he parks all over his block (his neighbors just love him!) and at different friends/relatives homes. And though the numbers vary, he also has anywhere from from two to six bikes in varying states of disrepair with the exception of one, a mint stock 1971 Sportster."

"After hanging around and helping out at the shop, Jimmy decided he needed something a little more eye-catching and a whole lot quicker than his trusty XL. After about a year of playing mix and match with parts, and a whole lot of grumbling and parts trading, this is the ride we came up with. It was supposed to be a swingarm shovel, but somewhere along the way we got lost and ended up with this sleek looking rigid."

"The shovel idea will be the next project for Jimmy. After all, we still have a frame and motor left over!"
