Description:

    This rare and exceptionally well detailed early Sportster was painstakingly restored using a lifetime accumulation of new old stock parts. A highly desired “Competition Hot” model, this bike has been tastefully fitted with period correct accessories.

    A purist will note that this motorcycle could be considered “over restored” The fact is that the polishing and personalizing of motorcycles began at the dealership. Flawless paint, perfect chrome, and beautifully polished aluminum give the bike a “factory custom” appearance.

    This XLCH runs every bit as nicely as it looks, but it's exceptionally tidy appearance is what make her a standout at any show.

Harley Skateboard Trick – Awesome Motorcycle Jump

Tue, 28 Apr 2009

Everything needs to be jumped over with a skateboard at some point in human history.  People, benches, cars, cats, senior citizens, conclusions, ships, …. I’m getting a little metaphorical here…  Why not motorcycles?  Let’s jump some motorcycles on a skateboard and let’s make them Harley-Davidson motorcycles to boot. Harley is on fire with releasing “viral video” to promote their Dark Custom line and have now released this interesting video of a “modded” skateboard with fireworks strapped to it flying over some bikes.  Personally, I think it  looks like the guy is hanging from a wire when he crosses over those bikes.
