Wrang the drool outa the bib several times. These are about the coolest bikes, ever. I liked them better than the Confederates, which was about their only comparable competition. VERY non-versatile machines, but exquisite detail and the sound was incredible. Sadly, FAR out of any budget I'll ever have, this side of the correct lotto numbers. If anyone finds out if they are up and building bikes again, I'd like to know. Their "Titanium" model was priced at $275,000. According to the ad I saw, you got a matching watch if you went for that unit.

It's like huge jewelery. Every surface is perfect. It was Brad Bitt's bike. There was a celebrity thing going on there with various famous people's bikes on display. I got to see Neal Peart's BMW too.   Purpony Posted on Friday, May 10, 2013 - 10:25 am:        im just not seeing it i guess... there are tons of beautiful parts on that bike... but nothing really "flows" together. Personally i think the overall look is hideous.   Kc_zombie Posted on Friday, May 10, 2013 - 10:41 am:        I always seem to have a negative comment on these "have you seen" threads, but what are we talking about here? It just a custom bike, not even a hacked up "tuber" in the Buell sense of the term. Like Purpony, I'm just not feelin it.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 05:41 pm:        i like the Wakan better.
