Goldie

   Some of you might have noticed that other mini-chopper that seems to like to hang out with Hot Wheels! That's Goldie! Goldie is a Diablo 125cc mini-chopper.

   Goldie came from a friend, who got it from a different friend in the group who passed away a while back. Originally, legend has it that this chopper was discovered in a man's shed, next to a few others, each with its own different theme. 

   Goldie needed a lot of work as well when it came in. The front forks were completely shot as far as the finish was concerned, and the chain kept popping because it wasn't assembled correctly at the axle- it never had a spacer it was supposed to get.

   After the basic routine maintenance, some major cleanup, ironing out all the mechanical and wiring kinks, it was time to add the headlight, paint it up, and take it to Bike Week! 

   Wait, no, of course not. This thing doesn't have a clutch! Goldie was born to have a suicide shifter, clearly! So back to the shop it was. Once the new lever was fabricated, it was easy to swap it on because, again, no clutch! It's pretty cool now! Off to Bike Week!

   Goldie does not have a title, and does not have front or rear turn signals, or mirrors. Therefore Goldie is NOT road legal.
