| Felt Bicycles "Slater" |
A few weeks ago I was walking around the Saturday Market in downtown Hillsboro and caught sight of a really cool, stylish bicycle on display outside the new
Hillsboro Bike Company shop at the corner of Main and Second. It really caught my attention, so I veered hard to my right to get close enough to look it over and read its pinstriped logo... "Felt Bicycles." I'd never heard of them.

| Joker Machine's Motorized Slater |
A few days ago I encountered the brand again in an article in the latest
Cafe Racer magazine... some guy from
Joker Machine, the motorcycle aftermarket accessories company, put a 160cc Honda utility gas engine in the frame of a
Felt Slater model bicycle. Looked really cool, what with the springer forks and fat black tires front and back... you can see a photo gallery of it
here, shot at Willow Springs Raceway in SoCal. So, I finally have gotten around to looking them up on the net and thought I'd post a link to the
Slater at Felt and the
motorized version at Joker Machine for your enjoyment.
The photo of the White Bike, #78, was taken at Willow Springs Raceway and just 10.5 miles north from where I am sitting as I type this.
ReplyDeleteI have one on my own, maybe the only one in Mexico. I love how it looks.
