<\/a><\/p>\n Written by Andrew Jones<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n They say too much sugar makes you do silly things. Running around like an idiot. Uncontrollable giggling. Boundless energy. Which, strangely enough, are pretty much the same symptoms one exhibits after a serious run on a fully worked sprint racer. Introducing Moto Candy’s Sportster-powered \u2018Lolly Pop\u2019, a perfect storm of sugar-powered craziness, comin\u2019 at you straight out of Switzerland, home of the world’s best sweet stuff. Let the silliness begin.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Started out of pure passion last April, Moto Candy’s David Maric has pretty much created his dream motorcycle dealership in the suburbs of Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland. It is the official dealer for Norton, Fantic and TM Racing in the region as well as a self evidently epic custom shop. \u201cFor clothing and accessories I went the long way and found myself brands that were yet to enter the Swiss market, including Original Driver, Bolidster and Sideburn.\u201d David notes that the shop is within a Lotus car garage called Schaffner Racing, which adds a nice mix of both two and four wheels to the proceedings.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The bike was built around a custom frame from fellow countrymen, CCCP Motorcycles. Apparently they are Switzerland’s only moto frame maker, and from what we’ve seen they really know their\u00a0scheisse. With everything from nutso choppers to Buell track bikes in their back catalogue, this 2008 hardtail frame would seem to be a perfect choice for David’s sublime-meets-ridiculous racer. And it’s all thrown down the road by a 1200 Harley Sportster engine.<\/p>\n
