Big American bikes are fairly uncommon in Europe for many reasons, from their size, to their cost, to graduated licensing restrictions based on engine displacement. If you see a Harley on the other side of the world, it’s more often than not a Sportster. Seeing a big Dyna — any big Dyna, let alone a heavily customized one — is quite a rare treat.
For some lucky Italian, this gorgeous red, white, and deep blue Dyna will be an incredible slice of Americana in the heart of wine country. The matching seat, fat rear tire, and minimalist exhaust are our favorite parts.
While the stretched chopper style may be slightly outdated here in America, it’s sure to turn heads in Europe for all the right reasons. If we were fortunate enough to have a vacation home in one of Italy’s most beautiful historic regions, we’d certainly want this Dyna parked in the garage.
He bought his first car at age 14 -- a 1978 Ford Mustang II -- and since then he’s amassed an impressive and diverse collection of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, including a 1996 Ford Mustang SVT Mystic Cobra (#683) and a classic air-cooled Porsche 911.
In addition to writing about cars and wrenching on them in his spare time, he enjoys playing music (drums and ukulele), building model cars, and tending to his chickens.
