    This was designed in '04. The pipes were one offs, but look pretty similar to other pipes. I don't ride anymore so I'm selling it. It's a 113, but I built a 145 c.i. at home before this one, and some scumbag ripped it off. I hope he developed leprosy and died.

    Exclamation Re: Custom bike - Any interest ?

    145 is humongous ! The theif probably killed himself ALREADY !! I am shipping my chopper to Arizona for usage when I am over there. I don't feel too comfortable riding chopper style in L.A. anymore. NOT everyone is a Vogel or Angel but the risk of being mistaken for one is just too great around here.The Vogels STARTED right here in my hometown of Montebello !!

    Ha, I hope he did kill himself. You're right about not riding in LA. Too many retards who shouldn't have a drivers license. Sorry to use the word retard, I know it's not politically correct, but people who drive with their head up there ass, texting, putting on make-up, brushing their hair, and changing socks all the same time make the roads dangerous.

    A motocycles only lane STILL would'nt help things!! And our roads are deteriorating at an alarming rate. I am not enjoying the R8 on the L A highways too much . But I have to use these ****ty freeways to get out of dodge. Then the R 8 and I are happy once we hit the smoothies. How many people have freaked out when they see one wheel leave the ground on our uneven intersections , not to mention driveways !!

    I'll add some more pictures once I find them.











    While it is a work of art - I just don't get custom bikes...

    i don't get it anymore either. That's why I'm getting rid of it. I guess the only thing about custom stuff is, it's an extension of one's personality.

    Exactly...Personal taste keeps things interesting--not BORING. And being custom is so much more fun than STOCK !
