The above bike is nice, but why the huge rear? If you're going for a performance chassis, then why hinder the handling with that beach ball? This type of performance application for a Big Twin has been done since 1997 by Curt Winter of BTR Moto. He's in Sturgis now racing a Big Twin hill climber. His site doesn't have pics of the HD climber on it, but they are awesome. Check out the black bike here: http://btrmoto.com/ Rodent: with respect to this type of bike, you’re right.

I've seen on this blog that "Dub" had posted to say how impressed he was by "Krugger" 's latest creation. The workshops of these two bike builders are only 140 miles from each other. I have seen Dub's "Proto" early in May in Mecrin, It is very impressive indeed, and workmanship is absolutely superb, but it still looks like a very big and expensive crotch rocket. Fred "Krugger" Bertrand's "Overmile", which I have not seen, impresses me by its sheer elegance, and is certainly equal in terms of workmanship. But I feel it has stronger identity. It will be interesting to see which one gets the votes from the jury. Will Fred Duban’s bike “compete” in the same category as Fred Bertrand’s “Overmile”?

Off the shelf engine, gearbox, suspension, controls, bars, wheels, tires, drive and brakes. so where did the other 320,000$ get spent? yes, it looks great, but I just don't get the cost. 100,000$ exhaust system?

I hoped the combination of HD/MV Augusta might yield such a machine. Perhaps HD should buy Dub's design! I really like this bike… this is what the Harley line has been missing for years.
