originally 2 each of the captain America and billy bikes were originally built for the film one of those was stolen back in the 70's, and now 2 exist ??? a lot of money to pay for what is probably a fake
That film kicked off my biking lifestyle. after seeing that movie I started to build a triumph pre-unit 500 chop with 12" over teles, stretched a rigid frame 5" in the back lower rails(at nightschool), sportster tank but never finished it. I saw the error of my ways and swapped it for a Triumph 5TA. A mate of mine built an A10 plunger with 12" over springers. I bought a Franklin mint Captain America at a bootsale last year for £20, undamaged in a display case as a momento. Got the film on DVD recently, very dated now but the extra scenes and directors commentary are very interesting/amusing and the soundtrack is excellent.
great movie and great sound track however nowhere in the movie does Peter Fonda ever kick start the bike
as close as I'll ever get to owning a captain america bike, which incidentally is more original than mine is
