The Carole Nash Old Skool Bobber, a custom-built chopper worth up to £30,000 memorably built live before biker’s eyes by custom kings Hawg Haven, is kicking off a national tour at the London Motorcycle Show this month.
The bike makes its tour debut after Hawg Haven put in over 400 hours of toil at the NEC show to create a visually stunning and audibly awesome 1450cc Revtech powered monster. Bikers are being invited not just to admire the bike in London and at other shows across the UK and Ireland, but have the chance to ride off as its proud owner.
Carole Nash has pledged to give the bobber away at next year’s Carole Nash International Motorcycle & Scooter Show. Every biker securing a quote from the company before 31st October 2009 will be entered for a free prize draw which will give them the chance to kick over the throaty 1450cc Revtech engine and depart the NEC in real style!
Created in front of around 150,000 admiring bikers’ eyes the bobber is built around a goosenecked Santee Rigid frame with a 38 degree rake and features a mighty Revtech 88ci, 1450cc polished motor fitted with a Mikuni carb five speed Revtech gearbox. As you’d expected from the internally acclaimed Hawg
Haven there are some neat and distinctive touches, including hand made oil and fuel tanks and a unique stainless steel two into one exhaust with vintage mufflers. Built over 11 days it was finished just 65 minutes before the shutters went down at the NEC show.
After the MCN London Motorcycle Show closes the bobber will then head across the Irish Sea to star at the Carole Nash Irish Motorcycle & Scooter Show which opens at RDS Dublin on 27th February.
Bikers can view a picture gallery of the bike and read Hawg Haven co-founder Jon Quantrell’s blog covering the highs and lows of creating the bobber at www.carolenash.com/insidebikes. They can also secure a quote online and be automatically entered for the free prize draw when visiting the site.
