Chris Pfouts told me a story about seeing Robert Tessier driving down the Sunset Strip in the 60s pulling a trailer with a Pan and a Knuckle, then later riding a chopper presumably made from the parts. Tessier was the real deal, an Algonquin Indian, Paratrooper, Korean war veteran, stuntman and biker. I wonder if he rode his own bike?
Anyone know what became of Dennis Hopper's purple Knuck from this movie? The silver Pan was a big inspiration for mine.
