CC Ryder ; The World of Wheels

Running From the Devil

Back last February, a couple of good old boys from Red Deer Alberta, loaded their winters handy work into their trailer and hauled the load to the 2004 World of Wheels in Calgary. A total of four bikes were hauled to Calgary and four classes were won giving the guys plenty of hardware to return home with.

Bob Plunket owns this soft tail chopper, and hails from Delborne, Alberta. The ‘04’ World of Wheels was the first show Bob ever entered the bike, and won the ISCA North American Custom class. He has been hauling in trophies at every show since. At Slack Alice’s in Penticton, he had the Best Radical coming 2nd overall behind Roger Goldammer.

Poorboyz Choppers out of Red Deer did the build over a period of six months. Bob showed up on Poorboyz doorstep with a frame, motor and a dream. He pretty well knew exactly what he wanted so it was up to Warren’s crew to match his visions to reality.

He wanted an every day rider that could still win the shows. To accommodate handling he didn’t want an extreme front end, hence the nineteen inch Hallcraft front wheel instead of a twenty-one inch, and a 180 series Avon in the rear instead of a wider tire. This allows the driveline to remain in the centre of the frame, which relates to better handling.
The rake is only two degrees over stock, which kicks the front end out slightly, but retains the handling.
