Because two is always better than one.

It's pretty cool to walk out to the man cave and
see two bikes instead of just one.

Took possession today...

My Pops got a new 2010 E-Glide Classic, so I bought his 2003
Peace Officer E-Glide off him for a song!



I should of taken some b-4 shots, cuz I already made some
changes. I swapped out the yellow fogs for some white fluted,
removed the rubber baby buggy bumpers off the front
and rear fenders...as well as the grab handle, and tour pack.

I already ordered a 4" windshield, phantom hard bag mount
kit (looses the big ol' chrome bag guards), and a 2" lowering kit
for front and rear. Now I need a low profile solo seat too.

Yep, it never ends

Vintage.

After you peep the polka dots, check out the baton & holder behind the seat on the Police Pan. COOL, nuff said.

...and we don't care that you don't care
how we do it in So-Cal!

75 years ago today...

...the King was born. This pic was taken the day
he took delivery of his '57 FLH.

Not usually a fan of the faux patina...

...but "Ragno" pulled this one off nicely.

In the ever growing sea of bikes that people are tagging
as "Bobbers" these days, I'd say this is actually a good
example of a Bobber. Note the absence of apes, raked
extenedd forks, peanut tank, and a candy flake job.


Tin taggin' from "Custom Design" in Italy.

Monowheel Tank


From the old pages of Modern Mechanix "War Tank on One Wheel, Operated by One Man".

Housed inside the armored body, the operator will steer the single main wheel by means of two small auxiliary wheels at the rear. A turn of the handlebar lifts one stabilizing wheel and lowers the other, shifting the balance of the machine and turning it to one side or the other. An internal gear mechanism, operated by a motor inside the body, drives the wheel ahead at remarkable speed.

I was trying to determine what decade this pic was taken...

...then I noticed the Vans.
