Alain Ghetti’s Hartere

Hatere: a custom that's half Harley WL, Half Terrot
The French Southsiders MC crew have a remarkably eclectic range of motorcycles in their stable, and this one is no exception. Alain Ghetti wanted to build a racer based on a Harley WL, but found the price of vintage parts a little too much. So he installed his engine into a Terrot frame extended by ten inches. The gas tank is from a Génial Lucifer, cut into two—with half for the oil and half for petrol. ‘Hartere‘ is a classic ‘bitsa’, but a beautiful one at that. [Thanks to Vincent Prat.]

    It looks very French. That is not a compliment.

    Haha.

    Unique and one of a kind, but I can’t imagine it’s very pleasurable to ride.

    It certainly does not look like a comfortable ride, but it does have a strangely attractive quality about it.
