Threesome
Tom McMullen aboard his Corvair powered trike. This photo was taken on the way home from the trike's second showing in '67 and was just before or right after he was pulled over by the police. It was published in AEE's Chopper catalog in '70. Other shots from this ordeal with the cops were originally published in the July 68 Cycle Guide which featured the trike's first completed photos. Tom contributed features on custom bikes to Cycle Guide before starting Street Chopper in '69.
Ed Newton, Art Hero 3
Here's an old AEE/ Ed Newton ad I kept from a 1969 Cycle Guide.
Ed Newton had been doing all kinds of cool art and designs for Roth. Since Roth and Tom Mc Mullen were friends, I guess it was natural for Newton to design the Big Twin. During this period, nobody was doing cooler stuff than Newton.

I saved this page from what I think was a 1969 Cycle Guide
The ads (below), are on the back
You don't see the H-D Outperformer art as often as the others.
