Nop, I believe is a Chinese one, Phoenix brand from Shanghai. :wink:

Saw zillions of those in China, they also got some bad ... pre-WWII style BMW flat twin military motorcycles, with and without sidecars.

Holy cow - that's awesome! I was watching your other thread on your "restoration", and I can't believe how nice this came out. Great job!
Your buddy's going to be one happy camper! 8)

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

c.p.odom: Do you have any pics of those motorcycles? I would love to see them.

Hammond Eggz: Thanks, I hope he likes it.

KOTA: Thanks man! Black and white really looks good.

Metal Militia: Nice bike, I think yours is newer, because of the rear reflector and the type of rack… which in my case I let out because I like the lines better without it.

KLZW: Fling Pigeons are really cool bikes, very tough built, and good quality, now that I tested this Phoenix I really want to have one for my self.

The afternoon I took it for test riding, I couldn't stop, felt like Forrest Gump when he started running, put 45 miles on it and I tell you, it´s a beauty to ride.

I do have photos, have to dig them up. PM me your email address and I will send you some. If I have some good bicycle photos I can post them as well. Also have some good VW photos from China. Been there several times on work trips.
