Chopper Days

I used to ride this chopper in the early 1970's. It was originally my brother Steve's bike. He bought it from a person in Des Moines, IA. It was all in pieces at the time including the 1945 Harley Davidson Knucklehead engine as the owner's original plan was to rebuild the bike but never got around to it.
