Very nice bike.

As for the serial number, I have a one-off Shock-a-Billy with the serial number AMPTEC1, but it has the AMP rear end and an Action Tec front suspension. I have no idea why your frame would have an AMP serial number, but it is interesting.
I would be interested in any other comments.

Billy

That was Chris personal bike if I remember correctly, I rode it October 93 at a Fat dealers ride in Sommerville. That is a true one off do you have any pictures?

Shock-a-Billy

I don't have any pictures handy, but if you go onto the VATB site from the First Flight site, there is a picture of it posted there. It currently resides at FFB (thanks Jeff & Wes!), so perhaps I could ask them to take some new pics if there is any interest.

I have never heard the entire story, but thanks for the information. The bike was obviously very well used, built with good parts, but needing and worthy of a full restoraton.
