Tom Daniel--Guru of all designers--has come up with
what has to be the most mind-blowing rod of all time...the show-smashing
CHERRY BOMB! A tinted bubble top covers the plush interior, and to show
off the gleaming chrome turbine engine another tinted bubble is set
into the long lean hood. To make it totally out-of-sight, Tom added
a wild custom trailer to haul his own unreal show chopper...a mod bike
with high-rise seat and raked-out wheel.
The way-out styling of this show rod is super from
the special combination torsion bar-axle in the front end to the flush-mounted
sequential tail lights in the rear deck. Riding on spring-air rear suspension,
the CHERRY BOMB gets its go from a boss turbine powerplant. Headlights
are housed in tapered chrome pods, and tinted transparent bubble top
opens to show interior detail including uni-control. Tagging behind
in its own custom trailer is the mod chopper with bored and stroked
mill, cherry-bomb gas tank and highrise backrest and sissy bar.
