Bad Ass Bagger

My Harley friend  in Austin had a brother that was into building customs with mongo power in West Palm Beach, Florida.  I visited for a week one time.

Two bikes impresed me, one was a turbo Buell.

The other was Blown Harley clone that he'd compete in dyno contests with.  

I wanted to ride both of those.  The only ones he let me were his Harley road king and wife's night train.  The Road King was pretty nice to ride, but I'd take a Goldwing over that anyday.  His pride and joy was a Confederate though.

For the value, I'll take the Bandit.  I'd venture to say he had several hundred thousand bucks invested in his bikes.  Supposedly he was a speed boat mechanic in Miami, which always made me kinda go hmmmmm...  and all this money came from a marine mechanics income in Miami ?... yahhh!

I like the bike... :)

.....depends on which smuggler's cigarette you're working on.

All this money and all they can think of buying is a freakin' HARLEY?  Apparently never heard of MV Augusta F4 i guess.  :duh:
