Default BAGGER OF THE MONTH?
ORIGINAL: dmac1968

Just put my vote in for Bagger of the month... was by far the easiest BOTM yet for me... that fatboy is one of the nicest looking, cleanest rides I have seen!!

Looks like we have our first officialspoil sportin the BOTM Contest. I guess he figures that a customized hotrod bagger with 145 HP/TQ and $60,000.00 worth of investment is a simple looking piece that iseasily overlooked. Maybe if he had invested the time and money himself...he'd understand that the bike easily stands on it's "own merritt".

Don't let it bother you. You have one hell of a bike. Hope when I get done with my street glide it will look 1/2 of what your bike looks like! Yours is awesome!

Your friendly competitor

ThanksEd. You're bike is an awesome looking piece and if I wasn't running against you I'd be all over it. I simply dislike people who harpon thecontest about it being bagger of the month where they assume that bagger fans only vote for baggers. I think that's nonsense, and would bet that many bagger owners are casting ballads towards the others including your fine looking fatboy.

If your Streetglide turns out half as nice as your FB, we're all in trouble when it comes to BOTY.

$60,000.00?
Yes that is correct Mopar, but that includes the cost of the base bike. That motor alone will cost a guy 12,500 to build when you factor in the tuner, pipe and all of the peripherals. Add to that all of the other work done that in simple overview includes suspension, wheels, chrome, paint, stereo etc and it hit's 55K to 60K before you know it. I have just over 60K spent on this bike to date and will add another 8K or so when the supercharger, chain driveand Baker DD6 are added later this year. Hard to realize until you go and add all the receipts up.The trick is toavoid telling the wife what's truly into it. lol
