I went to the EasyRider Bike Show at the Fairplex in Pomona on Saturday (Los Angeles for those who don't know)
What a fu*kin' zoo.....

Billy Lane bike:

Only 1 VROD at the show and it was UGLY ...

 

[LENELSA]

This is what I thought was the coolest bike there:

 

[CW-VRod]

Spark plugs going to the exhaust...........Can ya say FLAMETHROWER!!

I have seen a bagger in my area that has them.......kinda neat but not for me!

 

[Frank Storms]

The guy with the orange V-Rod spends over $2000 (installed) for air ride shocks and does not have the sense to turn the ugly bar code to the inside

 

[mjw930]

Then leaves them pumped all the way up to boot :whack:

I was gona go with a freind but I had some unexpected problems at work. There is always next year. That first bike looked kinda kool. I love the look of that rear wheel.

 

[Frank Storms]

And to top it off he left the ugly legend advertising sticker on

 

[Americancustoms]

problem with most of the show bikes is that they are not every day rides. to much bondo for the frames to take the vibrations from those large engines. Just the facts mama

I saw the orange and green bike on TV the other day and I think it's tough.Wonder what it would look like with a Revolution engine!

that orange and green bike just isn't working for me...

neither is the first bike... nice application of helicoptor bearings though.

maybe I'm just becoming jaded to custom bikes... it's starting to seem like you've seen one, you've seen them all now... I like riding

Joe,
That first bike is Billy Zane's (I mean Lane's) See the following thread.

Lenny,
Thanks for the pics my friend. I'm going to the LA AUTO SHOW with my son this weekend (we go every year). I'll be posting pics too.

Guess I'll go see it on the 17th when it's in Sacramento.

Maybe I can armwrestle Arnold while I'm up there.

Bondo? And just where do you think the bondo is on a custom frame? And what "facts" are you talking about?

Thanks for letting us "in" the side door !
Always fun seeing pics from events.

I'm starting to think the whole custom bike scene, at least to anyone who's been around it for a while, has jumped the shark.

As the designs get more radical to stand out, they are looking pretty ugly...

I think I'm starting to lean more towards something like this:

 

[DrHeathenScum]

btw, I got some specs on that bike...

ChopperGuys FXR Euro Frame
Twin Cam engine
Baker 6-Speed
Buell Lightning front end
Ohlins rear shocks
Lots of spare parts.

The owner is a mechanic at an H-D dealer in SF.

Street Fighter.
