Destiny Cycles’
“ Gold Rush”
Congratulations to Vic and Lin Jefford of Destiny Cycles in the UK for taking the‘ Best in Show’ win at the recent Bigtwin Bikeshow & Expo in the Netherlands with‘ Gold Rush’- an exquisite 1200cc S & S engined Sportster with Pan rocker covers- a classic of its kind and a superb example of Destiny’ s much admired signature attention to detail. The frame is a handmade Destiny one-off‘ Gold Rush’ rigid with Harley style springers,‘ Canonball’ 12-spoke mag wheels( from W & W Cycles), vintage French 1950s‘ Halcyon’ gas tank with a Golan fuel tap, S & S Super E carb, a Destiny polished stainless 2-into-2 exhaust and a custom oil tank that has been fabricated from two fire extinguishers! The machined polished brass cap is from Woody.
Vic says:“ It is a totally one-off build, with nearly all the parts nickel plated to give a vintage look. The paint evokes the 1849 Californian Gold Rush. The seat is a handcarved and braided leather special; the hand controls are polished aluminum and brass by Kustom Tech in Italy, and I used an MMB speedo with warning lights.” But the bike isn’ t a show bike as such. From the spring of 2018 it will be ridden regularly … and if the paint gets damaged?“ Well, the owner is pretty relaxed about that – he simply says he’ ll just have to get us to do it again!”
