I currently have a 04 BigDog Ridgeback and decided to buy something a little more custom. This is a 06 Midwest motorcycles Insanity softail/ It has a 124 Arlen Ness Round Top RSD 280 rear tire and a real nice paint job. I pick it up tommorrow and can't wait. I'll post more when I get a few miles on it.

I hope it is a Mid-West bike and not builtat Midwest Choppers in Galesburg, IL.

If this bike is from Chip Myler's Midwest Choppers, you may want to do an internet search to learn more aboutwhat happened to the business. Some of the information may have been removedalready.
