A 1957 500cc Velocette motor cycle owned by Charles Bartlett, aged 19 of Arden Street
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).
