breakout bike
a good friend of mine fell in love with the breakout when he saw it. he purchased one. today was the first time the old battle ax(a.k.a. the old lady) didn't bitch when I set out for a ride. the breakout owner and his future son in law(he purchased a 1200cc 48 sportster the same day my friend purchased his breakout at wildcat Harley in London Kentucky) came over. I looked the breakout over before we left. he has cobra slip on pipes and no other mods as of yet.
the bike looked awesome and it sounded damned good on the road. it had plenty of power when he wanted to use it. he's taking it easy for his first 1000 miles(just over 700) to make sure the rings seat right and bearing brake in good.
I think the bike is great. well laid out and well designed. that fat assed rear tire stands out no matter where you are. the low and long stance looks great. if I had to start with a new bike I would pick that one myself. it has a great motor, a fat assed rear tire, the long and lean frame. I would bob it and cut all unneeded weight, then start on the motor!! I love them lite,lean and freaking mean!!!!
the breakout is a awesome starting point in my view.

hey, I have had street rods and full blown drag cars. your not telling me anything I don't already know. if the motor is ganna work you have to treat it like you stole it from the get go!!!!
people are going to **** and moan, **** and moan, **** and moan. I have built more drag cars from the age 12 to 39 than I simply car to talk !!!! 99.9%OF THE TIME IT ISN'T THE PARTS. IT IS THE ****ING BLOCK YOU STARTED WITH IF A MOTOR DOESN'T STAY TOGETHER!!!! I know I have 6 blocks and cranks still running 17 years after I sold them.i started with a block worth having. with a damned good block and 4340 forged steel cranks. the H-beam rod might have broke(not enough meat to polish in my book), but the I BEAM rods that where polished have never let anybody I sold a engine to down. they rebuild it every year, and go on to race.
we all know the big guys rebuild after every race. I like to be a mall guy man be it a car or a bike!!!
