The Bonanza bike wasn't just a means of transportation; it was, above all, a statement. After numerous phone calls with a dealer in Cologne, my journey led me to Hendrik, who truly made my trip to the past possible.
When we stood in the parking lot, and he unloaded the Italian chopper, I was amazed. Such a massive handlebar. A fork leaning at such an angle. This thing is truly a statement.
As Sylphsia gripped the chopper handlebars, it looked like she was attempting to endure a wild bull rodeo on a bicycle — not an easy feat in wedge sandals. Hendrik's Italian chopper with its tiny front wheel elevated the combination of coolness and impracticality to a whole new level. Even the fox tail I attached to the end of the bike seemed to be grinning, saying, "I'm here for the glamour, baby!"
In the scorching heat of over 40 degrees Celsius in August 2019, the hottest day ever recorded in Frankfurt, Sylphsia found herself wondering where she had landed. An Australian, stark naked, on a Bonanza chopper in Germany. Even for her, it was too hot.
