This sweet ride was parked beside me at the Asheville HD during our BRP trip. I couldn't get the pics I wanted because he was still outside. I didn't want to **** him off.

Geeze, that looks as rusted as the '09 Russian Ural I just bought. I wonder what year it is?

Looks like a trike conversion.

It is; it's a 2000 Electra Glide Classic.

I don’t get it? Are you dissing his ride? Probably has a lot more interesting stories than all the garage queen owners.

I would never let my bike get that rusty, but his bike is none of my business.

It does not look like a trailer queen.

OK...same question to OP - what's your angle? What's the point?

Did you approach & talk w/ owner? Doesn't seem like it & then posting w/ no back-story doesn't seem right. IMO - looks like a bike w/ many stories to tell (like others state...not a garage queen). This person "rides" their bike vs. taking it around the block & shining the pi$$ out of it. Also, as a trike, have to see if they're (1) older, (2) disabled vet, or (3) medical woes, but still rides.

Sorry, but wanting to know your point of this thread???

No point. Its just a pic. You can choose to like it or dislike it. Comment on the bike or not. I didn't trash the bike so don't trash me. Draw your own conclusions.
