Yesterday I did 650 km ride in honour and in absence of me being at SWTF. I rode knowing many members here were doing the same thing down in Prescott and it helped make me feel a part of that. And in doing so, I ended up at a custom bike shop at the far end of my ride and in that shop was this Goldammer... a bike unlike anything I've seen before. I encourage you to follow the link to read up on it and might I say... I'm stoked that the builder is from these parts. I look forward to meeting him someday to extend my respect for his skill and vision.

"A self-proclaimed fan of single-cylinder bikes, Goldammer stuck to the board-track Peashooter's Single roots by sourcing an H-D Twin-cam Evolution powerplant. The obvious problem of utilizing a V-Twin mill was resolved by Goldammer in a bold manner. He removed the rear cylinder of the V to make it a 965cc Single. For added performance he added a Rotrex supercharger where the rear cylinder used to sit. A Magneto kickstart gives "Trouble" some old-school flair - it is also the only way to turn over the one-of-a-kind powerplant."

I love the curves. Very organic - almost art nouveau. Very original.


Cheers, Richard

Very nice photos and find there Keith,
I wonder was the builder influenced by Francis Beart?



Painted all his big singles green, became known as Francis Beart Norton Green.

I like everything but the paint color. That is some very out of the box thinking there! But, what is a "magneto kickstart"?

Good question. It says that's the ONLY way to start the thing.

(...yep, you might have point there John ...but overall I have to admit I am kinda diggin' this little bike!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
