I saw that Fat Bob from Schaffers in person and talked to the kids from the High School that built it. Great bunch of kids and a great looking and sounding bike...Those Mid controls were a prototype that will be going into production

Loved the "Joker" street bob and the Fat Boy!

I liked the Road King and the Fat Bob, but I'm a bit partial as I have been to both of those shops several times. I also liked the Yellowstone bike, kinda retro cool.

That fairing on the sport glide looks like the old school Norton fairings. I actually saw one of those the other day at my local dealership. Man, I love the looks of those old Nortons!

I just went through the entire article. Honesty, I really liked all the bikes. Some amazing work and color done! But, I am partial to the sport glide. I like the one from Kents HD over Laidlaw-except for the wheels. Those twin fork things are UGLY.

I am partial to this bike...except for the color combo. Sport Gilde with a proper fairing. This is how the MoCo should have released the sport.

I wonder if the bright orange color would help motorists see this bike better in traffic?

Apex, Ol' Heavey, & the Joker. The rest are...nice builds, but not my style.

Dang what a bunch of ugly bikes. Flame on but one bike Ol Heavy is the only one that flows from front to rear in my opinion. All the rest just don’t flow. The bags look like bolt ons from who knows where on most of them. Sorry but not a lot of trend setters here. Never thought I would say this but I think real baggers got it going on compared the out of place looking swingarm on the new bikes with bags stuck on where ever they could bolt them up to make a bagger. Nice mechanical efforts from some skilled kids and wrench’s. They just lacked style imagination. To each their own I guess.
