Might just be me, but "SH!TWAGON" painted on the front of the bike is in bad taste.

IMO, most of theRoadglidersthat are on this forum built theirs better than Jesse did.

And at that price, this guy will be keeping it for a long time.

Nothing fancy about that at all, in fact the paint job is just plain ugly in my opinion...........and there really isn't any chrome on it at all.

Looks like he went all out on that one. Just what I would want parked in my garage. And funny how there is custom wheels but it still has the stock pulley.
