Custom Bikes Of The Week: 4 August, 2019
The Bathtub is back, thanks to BAAK’s Interceptor 650. Plus an Indian Chief with a barbecue grill attached, a cool kit for the Ducati Scrambler, and news of Triumph’s insane new Rocket 3?with 221 Nm of torque.
Indian/Traeger sidecar hack by See See Motorcycles Remember when See See Motorcycles put an espresso machine in a sidecar" Well, they’re at it again?except this time, they’re smoking meat instead of grinding beans.
In a collaboration with Traeger Grills and Indian Motorcycle, See See’s Thor Drake has stuck a fully operational wood pellet grill into a sidecar rig. The motorcycle is an Indian Chief Dark Horse, the grill is a Traeger Ironwood Series 885, and the sidecar is a vintage item that’s been restored. And yes, getting all that to play nice was as complicated as you think.
I saw the build in progress at See See’s Portland workshop, and there was a lot going on. Mating the sidecar to the Indian took some doing, but even more work went into getting the details right. Note the sidecar’s modern alloy wheel, and how its fender matches the bike’s front fender.
Thor’s quirky sense of humor is on full display too. The grill vents via a pair of actual motorcycle exhausts, and the handle to open it is a set of handlebars. Park this and See See’s mobile cafe rig next to each other, and you’ve just about got the perfect picnic. [More]
