It's EvilFordCoupe (Jason) that runs the joint. And Outlaw (Tyler) is his right hand man. Both guys are on here and Kontinentals at that.

They are very legit. Cool bikes at a low $$$. Give 'em a call with any questions about details on the bikes and so on. Jason's even from the left coast.

I know them personally and have been to their shop. Both
the old small shop and the new bigger shop, that should
tell you they are doing well because they make a quality
product.

Give them a call and talk to them. If you can take a trip
to Austin and look around their shop they have open doors
for hot rodders and bikers.

If I didn't like 4 wheels so much, I would probably have a
Flyrite myself.

Evil Ford Coupe and Outlaw build some kick ass scooters, they are Kontinentals, that in itself should tell you they are a class act. Damn nice traditional rides at any price but they are very reasonably priced. Hopefully in next couple years I can buy one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jason is 100% legit. Seems too good to be true, but it's for real. some of the cleanest bikes around. Highly suggest snaggin one.

05-20-2004, 11:33 PM
thanks a lot for your input guys. i really do appreciate it. i really want one of these, so i'll have to give them a call and see what they can come up with. to be honest, i don't know how to ride a motorcycle, but there's always a first time for everything.

Harpoon, i'm sure you could do one hell of a job with it. i'll keep you in mind. thanks again.

133, I've been drooling over their bikes ever since I've know them. The quality is excellent and what you get for the money is unbelievable. I'll buy my next scooter from Flyrite.

133-

I had the pleasure of staying with them for 5 days (EvilFordCoupe and his lovely wife). They are really nice and their bikes are really good. The only thing stopping me from buying one is that I am a chickenshit. My wife said "go for it!" but I have cojones the size of BB's because of my lack of riding skills. But the bikes are gorgeous. You won't be sorry.

The only flaw is that they seem to only use RevTech engines (which I personally don't like), but if you talk with them, I'm sure they can put a Optima, H&amp;L, Merch, S&amp;S or other engine in there. Then again, you may not have strong convictions about engines like I do.
I've heard good things about their bikes however. You can get something a little bit different than the $30k choppers that all the accountants are fighting over. I definately like their style and options...and the fact that you can get into one for a fair price.

Jason is as stand up as a motherfucker could be. I have known him forever and he is one of the few people who trully makes his dreams a reality...

And I am sure he'll tell you that the Revtechs are good motors, but get a bad rap because of their low cost and ease of availability. think of them as the small black chevy of the harley set.

haha...funny cuz that's what I have in my Rambler....a 355 SBC.
The only reasons the RevTechs get a bad rep in my book is: 1. they're Korean-made and 2. they've had some consistency/reliability issues
It's really a moot point and I can argue the case till I'm blue in the face but in the end, it's just a personal preference. I have a buddy with a RevTech that runs really well...100" motor. It's strong and way fast.

I'll just re-state that if I get another new bike, FlyRite will be one of the people I go to if I can have a different motor thrown in. It's a classic-type of style that is timeless and represents what riding a bike is about....having a bad-ass bike that hurls you through the wind.

Jason's a great guy as already stated - I'm in line for one myself, and they actually offer several motor options...not just RevTech.

Tyler's a pretty good kisser. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Jason is a heck of af a guy. Any time I have a question or just want to tell them I'm diggin' what they're up to, he always responds promptly.

The guy's at Flyrite are onto something. Cool, simple scoots for a reasonable buck. The only thing that'd be better is if you did it yourself.

And man, that custom bike they did is tits. Only 20K too. Not too bad in the world of 75k cookie cutter customs.

Travis, we gotta swap wifes! I've been riding since I was 12 until about 15 years ago when I sold my bike to paint a car I was working on. Met my wife about 3 years ago and she's down with the hot rods but everytime I look lustfully at a 2 wheeler she says "no motorcycles." And I really want a bike especially with gas prices hitting close to $2.40 in so cal.

Travis
05-21-2004, 01:30 PM
You know what's funny about all this... the wife says "Go for it!"... her dad (The only real father figure in my life) says "If you get one, the bike won't kill you. I will." I think in addition to the BB Cojones, he has a little say in my chickenshit feelings http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Flyrite Choppers kick ASS. If you buy anything else, you're gay.

Yeah, you could put one together yourself, but you would probably SPEND MORE MONEY. They are in fact a steal.

I think the new "stock" motor is S&amp;S, but I'm sure somebody hates them too....

Jason, you're being paged...

Jason built a kick ass little mini-bike... without brakes, no less.

And then... and then he let ME ride it...

That says volumes.

I never in a million years would have imagined you saying or typing that krupa...I still can't even hear you say "gay fantasy" in my mind. My how you have changed.

Buzzard on the other hand has is still the same...fantasy stuff and all http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

And for what it is worth, Im not much of a bike guy and I have built several on the web site running the options through my mind. If I ever brake down and buy a bike they will be the ones I go to. They have it down IMHO.

The count at the shop is four Hambers now!!!! We nearly have our Manufacturers License and are building our own products line(With some help from other Hambers). This is all happening superfast.

We are addressing Outlaws drinking problem.

Love my flyrite, wouldnt trade it for the world. I am trying to find a way to get another one.

05-26-2004, 10:16 PM
OK, OK, the secret is out Tyler is a gay drunk. No Surprise there. I can honestly say that if I had the money right now, today, a new Flyrite Chopper would be parked in my garage right now. Jason is a fucking stand up guy, Tyler is a ruler (hell, he was able to get Krista to agree to marrying him didn't he)These guys are putting together some of the nicest bikes around. Without hesitation, I ould say send em a check today. If you don't, you'll want to kick yourself.

05-26-2004, 11:33 PM
I called them Saturday ready to order a bike but they said the turn around was 13-15 weeks. That tells you something right there. Everyone wants one of these killer bikes. I'm too impatient. I want it for the summer. I didn't mention the HAMB or any relation to the hot rod world. I WILL get one!

If you guys are reading this can I get one sooner PRETTY PLEASE?!?!?!

I'll give you guys a FREE booth at Billetproof. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

All i can say is out of all the bike's i've seen..whether local, on TV or whatever..you guy's build the damn best looking one's yet!

I'm planning on building another scoot for myself sometime in the next few years, in the same style .
I love that look.
Damn nice stuff guy's, keep it up!

Screw all this 'theme bike' horse shit....

Well planned, simple, clean and BAD!
Thats what i see in all you stuff!

Correct me if I'm wrong... but that looks like a chicks ass hidden in that pin-stripe.

I think I'd find myself "riding a bit high up on the tank" with that artwork there.

Don't confuse that with "walking a bit light in the loafers".
