backtalk revisited

" This is my 1969 shovelhead frame with an s&s Evo, tank, bars and seat I got from lowbrow customs. Anything that could be powder coated was removed and done, Brett from SOLITARY CYCLES (in Australia) did all the fabrication, paint pipes and mods. I can't thank him enough for building this bike for me. Hope to see her in your mag

do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

"Built this bike out of 2 bikes confiscated out here in Afghanistan, the first one was ridden up to a vehicle check point by a suicide bomber and it failed to detonate…EOD tore the wiring harness out and the frame was screwed.  The other donor was a drug bike that an insurgent was using to try to out run US forces.  The motor was fried.  We took the two and chopped them up to make one cool little “suicide bobber” we call her our “Helmand” Davidson.  (Helmand is the province we Marines are responsible for out here in Afghanistan).  It’s basically a Chinese knock off of a Honda CB 125.  We chopped the shocks and plasma cut the springs to make seat springs, the head light is a casing off of a military DC 10 bulldozer, the struts were made out of tent poles..everything that wasn’t needed to make her faster was ripped off and it has been up to 65 MPH so it runs strong.  I miss my Bikes at home and this makes my third tour out here since 2009 (33 months in country) a little bit more bearable… FattyB…."

We've got two photo shoots set up with models for the following dates: Feb 16th and Feb 23rd

If you think you're bike has what it takes and you're willing to make the treck to our offices in Macomb, MI, send me an e-mail at Jordan@thehorsebc.net with a photo of your bike and which of the two dates you'd prefer to come out.

Looking forward to seeing what you've got!
