I was trying to figure out what the hell a whip was.
You know where my mind was at.
I guess that would be cool maybe if I was still 12 years old.
I do like the springer front end though.

Dude it is SO bizzarre to ride. The front wheel is so far in front of the head, that it steers like an articulated bucket loader. Weird when slow... Should be fun to make the neighborhood kids scratch their heads :)

The more I look at it the cooler it gets. Weird, but I think I'd like to take it for a ride. Not too far though and no up hill. Hey Tito, think ya can pull a wheelie on that?

Count the spokes!
It's really cool looking, but I sat on it and it feels weird. Didn't ride it.

Those wheels don't have enough spokes.

That's mine Hank. I was trying to remain humble but my wife wouldn't lend me her SUV for the day so I had to roll this way.

Looks like the Front end will stretch out some. What a rush. I guess you don't have to worry about rim to axle support looks like it has 90 spokes a tire ! Damn. It's definatelt chrome colored. What are the rear gizmos there your wheelie bars. Like the Ape Hangers. Speed.

You might just get your wish... My buddy in Oakdale got a lowrider too, different style tho. I'm gonna bring mine up this summer sometime for sure.

I need to double check, but I'm pretty sure they are 144 spokes.

And I am looking into some more HD tires for it :D

Sweeeet, I look forward to it but must say bicycles have caused me some sincere pain a couple of times. Much more than the times I've dumped my MC's and I've done that at over 55 three times. Yeah, slow learner but it taught me not to drink as much while riding. That's why I said not too far and no up hill which should have been no down hill as well. I'm 45 and still try to pull wheelies on my mountain bike. Maybe I should just watch you guys and look out for traffic. Touko
