IRISH RICH'S SHOVEL

I've been lucky enough to lay my hands
on some pictures I've been wanting to see for a while.
This is Irish Rich's 1974/1979 shovel, and is about the coolest collection
of parts you're likely to see on a chopper. Check out all the holes
Rich has drilled ... 130 in all! It's the old racing trick for lightening the bike. Kool!
