  1. True chopper style. Amazing bike👍

  2. That Howard Hughs story was cool as shit man, I love that kind of stuff, and a good story. The bikes amazing, a lot of love in it, I can tell. I hope I get another bike soon. I feel like if I don't get on a motorcycle again sometime soon I'm gunna die.

    No front brake that's suicide

  4. Nice man.Choppers are visually nice but i prefer a bobber.More meat on the street.Handling,breaking everything is better.

  5. Thank you! Every time I say "Jokey Shifter" people look at me like I have 3 heads and say "oh. you mean Suicide Shifter?" I say "No if I meant Suicide Shifter I would have said that!"

  6. "Duck Bill…" You are fucking badass & so is your bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wonderful video.
    Yeah, well not me.A rigid will destroy your back…I've met riders who have all had back surgery in later life as a result of years of riding a rigid.
    Yes, I hear too, "closer to the road" "feel the road"…not me bub…I tried it, hit a bump ONCE and felt my vertebrae jar against the other…i thought internally…oooohhh…no more…the spine is not something to mess with.

    Wonderful to see someone riding a shovel these days..last true HD motor imho. LOVE that sound of that motor..such a solid, not overdone, hard, punch punch punch..very healthy and strong.
    I ride a '74 FLH … give me the pogo seat any day..and I am not a fat old man.
    Be well…and thanks again. Really enjoyed.

    Just like "Sam is tellin' ya on his scoot…ya don't like this shit; fuck off.

  14. C Berg says:

    Anybody have a guess at what length that front end is and what the rake angle is?

  15. What a beauty! I would love to have one like that for myself but I'm in Florida, no one here doesn't custom work.

  17. Con Queso says:

    That must be one hell of a juggling trick when you're stopped at a traffic light, facing uphill, with a foot clutch and no front brake…Beautiful bike.

  18. The shot of you and the bike in the canyon is at the Monument in western Colorado. Fruita to be exact.

    It sounds like there are baffles in the exhuast that are not opened up enough.Kind of sounds" tinny".The art work is fantastic.

  20. Chinolyn says:

    I liked the sound of this machine, is special …

  21. M. Black says:

    I wrecked mine last year and miss it every day. Frame cracked at 50mph at the neck. Wild ride. lol. Starting all over.

  22. Josh Smitty says:

    I love all the special stories that go along with the build of this bike, made it very interesting to watch and gives me a couple of ideas on my next project. Great rider/builder review!

  23. John Ratko says:
