I was browsing the BOTM section and found these posted by rdwarrior80.
Its obviously a show only trailer queen with way to much bling for my taste but, you have to admire the work and craftsmanship that went into building the bike.

I want to know more.

I dont understand the latest craze for customizing... its like the whole goal is to take a supreme piece of machinery and then make it as unrideable and unperforming as possible. Customizing used to be about getting rid of everything you don't need and making everything you do need work a lot better. Now it doesn't matter HOW it rides when it is done, as long as it looks like it could be on a Discovery channel show.

I'm not understanding the sub woffer... I don't see a stereo anywhere... but even so... I can't see where they'd pu the amp to run it.. or better yet... where are the speakers for the high end? lol... like Jeeps said... too much bling... but alot of work went into this...

maybe next time they won't use a good bike... maybe get one that's wrecked and go from there... leave the good ones to the people that RIDE!:2cents:

but that still requires an actual head unit... wonder where he installed it... under the seat cowl?

I never undertsood since these aren't gonna be ridden anyways... why not take off all the breaks... that way you could show the rim better from both sides... and even if they are ridden... doubt it's more than cruzing arround the block... so you could just drag your toes! :lol:

Very well put. I don't understand putting all that time and money into something and trailering around everywhere. I wouldn't ride it.

My wife thought the paint job was cute, and I thought it was pretty good. But let me get this straight. The chopper crowd extends the fork, and the custom sportbikers extend the swingarm, so who extends both the swingarm and the forks?

I can admire the work into it but I wouldn't own it. But sense the pic from a TWF member we shouldn't start bashing his bike and all the hard work he/she has in it....

You don't necessarily need a head unit...but that beside the point.

Excellent work. I love the woofer and Sat radio. But not my taste. But much respect to someone who can build like that.
