Speaking of Dennis Hopper...I remember reading in his bio that it was Ben Hardy (below) who built the original Captain America and the Billy Bike. This was also mentioned in Jesse James' "History of the Chopper", a documentary that appeared on Discovery Channel.

Why spend all that cash when you can have this beauty for just $3500 ?

I'm with you on this one.... I understand the movie's significance. I own a copy on DVD.

It was just a little too out there for me. Maybe if I were born 20 years earlier and then spent those 20 years on LSD I'd get it.

Nice bike though
