If you were lucky enough to live in a City in the Northeast you could listen to them all night long from your bedroom. It is why living near the bar is like living next to the fire station.....

I still dig the Panty Dropper.


This one looks good, too.



A buddy from high school hosted the "baddest bagger" contest. His shop built Panty Dropper for biker build off, there are some crazy baggers there this year for sure,

The whole 'loud pipes save lives' argument always gets people riled up when you ask why they don't wear a helmet.

Every year my friend Dwayne goes. Every year I have to send him money for this or that. I haven't heard from him yet. He pulls his bike in a trailer to Omaha and rides up from there...

Darwin seems to favor a particular age group as well.

Everytime I run into my brothers friend he wants me to test ride his Harley. I understand he is proud of it. The sacrifices his daughter has had to make so her dad can own a Harley have been incredible. She is 8 and finally got her first bed. She is hoping to get some new clothes for school this year. Maybe some food in the fridge also. Chrome parts ain't cheap. Back to the story. The bike ride like ass, it is loud. The brakes suck, it handles like shit, yet as Harley's go, his is pretty nice.
