A 1957 500cc Velocette motor cycle owned by Charles Bartlett, aged 19 of Arden Street, Earlsdon, Coventry. He had partially built it up as a Chopper when a fire destroyed a lot of his hard work. From the remains he built this bike which he has named Speed Freak. The term chopper comes from the American bike fanatics who take a standard production machine and " chop" off all the unwanted bits and pieces(such as panniers, mirrors and heavy duty seats).

A 1957 500cc Velocette motor cycle owned by Charles Bartlett, aged 19 of Arden Street, Earlsdon, Coventry. He had partially built it up as a Chopper when a fire destroyed a lot of his hard work. From the remains he built this bike which he has named Speed Freak". This print captures the resilience and determination of young Charles Bartlett from Coventry in the 1970s. At just 19 years old, Charles embarked on an ambitious project to transform his beloved motorcycle into a unique creation. Initially building it up as a Chopper - inspired by American bike fanatics who stripped down standard production machines - tragedy struck when a devastating fire engulfed his hard work.

With chrome gleaming under the sunlight, this restored beauty stands as a testament to Charles' dedication and resourcefulness.

By removing unnecessary parts like panniers, mirrors, and heavy-duty seats, he created not only a means of transportation but also an expression of individuality. In this snapshot frozen in time on May 5th, 1971; we witness not just a motorcycle but also glimpses into youth culture and hobbies that defined an.
