    Ackkkkkk!

    I wish we had videotaped ALL the discussions we had about pipes for this bike......it got a little heated.....we were very seriously considering it......as I've never liked the look of them on other bikes so I was a bit biased aganist it.....But I think you're right....it really might have worked well.

    I'm probably gonna get my ass kicked and an "I told ya so!" when a couple folks read your post.

    Both great looking bikes, maybe the ChCh bike could have done with a Quaker State theme though
    These aren't the bikes we're looking for....

    They're all wonderful, but if I was going to drop cash on one I'd want this one with mid-controls, like the Nightster.

    Well done to both shops - friggin inspiring work.

    And big ups to the Motor Company for the contest - obviously a brilliant bit of promotion but one enjoyed by all.

    looking forward to seeing the lot.

    Cheers guys!

    Sorry for the long delay in responding......been away for much of the last two months.

    Part of the time was spent recovering from the open invite piss up we had back in December when the announcement was made.

    Here's a few videos of what we did:

    "Building The Bomber":




    "Introducing The Bomber":




    "2011 Rolling Thunder Calender, featuring The Bomber":
