Estimate 200 burnout miles on the rear wheel maybe 2 miles on the front from pushing it around at shows.

That looks really dated, even by 2000's standards. The writing on the wall for the custom chopper trend was evident when Honda came out with the Fury.
Now you could buy a factory custom chopper from your local Honda dealer with a full warranty.

Yep. It's a keeper.





Just got the seat re-covered. Like it?






Only reason I'd sell it is if they won't let me take both bikes home to Australia.

If I can only take one home, I'll be torn in two. I mean which of your children would you leave behind?
