    The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook.

    Interestingly enough, attached is an image of Exiles "The Chopper". It is road legal and ready to ride in its registered state as you see it.

    Just because you can't see a throttle cable doesn't mean there isn't one.

    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I can appriate the hard work and excellent skill that goes into making those bikes, but to pass them off as road bike is a bit much IMO.

    Can't argue with that. It was beautiful work and worked beautifully.

    I like individual bikes rather than any specific builder. Lazareth does some cool modern stuff (see below) but turns out a some shite too.

    For sumthin' a bit more old school I'm luvvin' the board track racer theme lately.

    Interesting to see that Orange COuntry Choppers (American Chopper) have to build bikes with DOT approved silencers etc for road-going bikes. OCC have come a long way and although I don't like how they build their bikes (very freeform, no real thought and always "giving Nubby a free rein on the paint"), there's usually something I like about an episode.

    Biker Build Off has much better bikes, it must be said. Not often to my taste and I don't like the Exile machines much - a lot of them go to far towards Form over Function, which kind of defeats the point for me.

    I do like the independent stuff, done well. The stuff that shows up in Barnetts always looks like care and attention has been heaped upon them, unlike OCC who bash the bikes out too quickly for them to be regarded as craftsman-built.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I always remember seeing a magazine picture of a different style of HD in the 80's, and here they are still converting HD'S today.

    Their stuff is top quality too. My 883 race bike was all Storz performance gear...rear sets, footpegs and levers. Had some massive offs over two seasons and never broke a single piece!
