    That last pic, the one with the custom tank paint is a Big Dog chopper. The controls are unique.

    I wish you would have made it this year. A couple brothers riding old original 50's Harleys were going through the Draper foothills - winding roads - standing on their seats, taking the turns, with their arms out like Indian Larry.

    Crazy bastards.

        How'd that work out for Indian Larry?

                This one in the local craigslist caught my eye. If I was looking for an interesting project this would be a good start.

                    As long as you have an endless supply of oil. The flatheads (and panheads, I think) were known for leaking oil profusely (it was intentional per the design, IIRC).

                        My next bike will be something similar... only this time I need a stereo. So I'll probably pick up a Street Glide. Hard bags for storage, add a quick release trunk and a better seat for the wife to ride on for the longer rides.

                        I'm keeping the hardtail bar hopper forever. Just need something more comfortable for my wife.

                        Nice. Good ride. My buddy bought the boulevard version of that bike with the new 1800 cc engine (I think that's it). He used to ride a liter bike GSX. Loved the Suzuki brand. He liked the transition from sport bike to cruiser. He rides a Harley for the Highway Patrol but I think he's in line for one of their new BMW's.

                        Way cool. The newer bikes sure are a lot easier to take care of though. The older bikes are a lot more maintenance intensive.

                        I'm lazy. I just want to ride... when it comes to cleaning my bike my friends are always giving me shit. I wash it once a summer. I have a Hummer that hasn't been washed in two years. Every time I clean it someone wanted to go wheelin' and it would just get filthy again... so I don't bother.

                        My friends ride hardcore choppers with wrapped pipes and flat black paint... and they are spotless compared to my custom chrome and billet barge.

                            Police motorcycle maneuverability course competition.

                            Putting a full dresser through that course take some skills.

                                        Yeah, I've seen that before. That is the police version of my bike, and ain't no way I can do anything close to that.

                                                There's some floating around here (including the bit where Donuthole dubbed it "teal"), but I can't find the thread. So here are a couple:





                                                No, I do NOT ride in shorts (although many around here do). This was taken in my driveway for some reason I can't remember.

                                                    Nice.

                                                    I love Road Kings.

                                                    I wasn't aware of the teal discussion. That is particularly funny to me, because of someone else I know whose bike really is teal... seafoam green to be exact.

                                                    He has a huge button about it that just about everyone like to push.

                                                        My friend has customized his Heritage Softail a lot since this picture was taken... but he left the color the same. He likes it and thinks it has a classic look.

                                                            If I had to own an HD the Heritage Softail would be the model.
