[QUOTE=03'EyeBug;2918307]^ That's my favorite one so far buzzword, super clean and classy.[/QUOTE]


Yeah - I dig it! It's a decent mix of old and new technology. I think the front disc + modern avon-style tires look a bit out of place, but not enough to make me not like it.

Also, the euro-style bobber that fizay posted made me drool - I think that's the first modern sportster bobber I've seen and liked.

Let's see if I can get away with posting this...

I am sure that it falls under the "some all-billet crap piece some dip**** celebrity overpaid for" but I really like the minimal stying of it. No fancy crap all over the place, just simplicity. I also think that I may have an infatuation with rubber. I love wide tires, and the wider the better. The first thing I notice on any vehicle is the tire width. If I see wide tires, I know they mean business.

Definitely not my favorite offering from Exile, but I've been a fan of their aesthetic for 10 years. I'd still rather build my own bikes, but if I HAD to buy one, it'd probably be from them.

Not as old or as fancy, but its a 1980 HD Sturgis. I built it a few years back, well, did a frame up rebuild on everything and got it running again. Kinda proud of it.

Looks like something a goth-nazi recon scout would ride in Hellboy.

oh hell yeah...not a fan of flat engines when you have to ride some tight single track...*tall rock around blind corner* oops too late!

but totally rad

ive always wanted to ride a flat bmw on the road, lower center of gravity and all

there are other builders who put knobbies on the rear of every type of build almost

I don't even like motorcycles (well, I like them but I don't ride them because I'm addicted to speed and I know I will die) but that cycle is SICK!!!! I would have kids with it. :jawdrop:

Wow, that brings back some memories! The first HD I ever rode was my favorite to this day - my dad's '80 Sturgis that I helped him rebuild. I will have to see if I can track down pics of it.

Thing is though, yours has the later (I think '91) Sturgis tank stickers and the 80 also had a kick-start - was it removed? It was the first to have kick start and the electric start. The Sturgis (the 1980 model, not the 1991) will probably always be my favorite. I seriously love all the black chrome and black powder parts on it. Also the engine was all black wrinkle with the fins bare, but a lot of people swapped in the chrome motors or just the heads for looks. Personally I prefered the all black/orange look to the bike.

Awesome to see another one!

That thing is so awesome, I wanted to see the photos quoted once more. Reminds me of the 2WD motorcycle I saw in the Teknikmuseet in Stockholm. Have to find pics of that one too - it was pretty crazy.

I'm not sure how to describe that video....scary, exciting....funny (the commentary was amazing). Either way it was a pretty breathtaking 9.5 minutes. Thanks for that.

Watching that made me realise why so many people die at the IOM TT every year...one mistake and your into a brick house or tree without a rollcage...crazy

My balls are only big enough to ride a dual sport or dirtbike. Guess I don't trust myself. I think the deal of being able to have as much fun in a slow car as a fast one is exponentially increased when it comes to motorcycles.
