Benjamin F. Hardy (July 25, 1921-1994) was an African-American custom motorcycle builder who made the Captain America and Billy choppers for the 1969 Peter Fonda road movie Easy Rider.

The Captain America bike, made from a then 20-year-old, heavily customized Harley-Davidson panhead is considered one of the most iconic motorcycles ever built.

Working with another African motorcycle builder, coordinator Cliff Vaughs, Hardy built two 'Billy' bikes and three 'Captain Americas', one of which was destroyed in the making of the movie, the rest of which were stolen. Each bike had a backup to make sure that shooting could continue in case one of the old machines failed or got wrecked accidentally. The 'Billy' bike was typical of the custom motorcycles Black bikers were riding at the time.

Hardy and Vaughs remained largely unknown and uncredited for 25 years as they were not accepted due to being African-Americans, and were not welcomed into the mainstream motorcycle world in the USA.

Known locally as "Benny" and "King of Bikes" Ben Hardy's Motorcycle Service was located at 1168 E. Florence in Los Angeles. He was a mentor to many of the local motorcyclists in South Central, Los Angeles.

His work was featured in the “Black Chrome” exhibition at the California African American Museum

Had Juneteenth off from work so james and I went for a small picnic. I also installed my new bike basket that day, sadly it was smaller than I needed and my bag fits crappy in it now. But I’ll just deal. Guess I needed the XL size. 😭😭😭

Last Saturday

Went to Cafe Girasol in Boyle Heights to Small Sesh to support! Got tacos from Duran and Amigos food!!yummy af

I love taking photos of my bicycle alongside the LA Skyline.

So much fun.

Been without a bike for week, on the ride home Saturday I noticed my gears fucking up on me. I got home safe. James and I decided to take the bike in to the shop and it’s been there for a few days. I got some good news today that my bike repairs aren’t as crazy as we thought and it was an ok fix. One less worry.

Bike homies were helpful and I do want to get a back up bike or loaner to try out. Gotta schedule a time when. In reality I am only available on Saturdays and it annoys me.

I hope to get by bike back by Friday. We shall see. Not having a bike has left me grounded and I refuse to go anywhere in the car.

Wish me luck
