| This is a sneak peak of the design. Our bike will look very similar to this, we're changing the bike to hardtail after much discussion. The softail design of the other bike was not working properly and we don't feel it adds the comfort that the "softail" name suggests. I don't think that the leaf spring fork will be a standard option unless we can make it for less than $600. Right now, we're at $900. However, a springer will be a standard option. | |

| Nice!!!! Not sure about the front end. I know the oldschool kats may like it, but I would say you will sell more with a regular springer. Keep up the good work. | |

One piece with a REAL deep tunnel. I just posted a podcast on my website about the bike. Just follow the link off my front page to the podcast page. | |

| Ok question. Will your bike come with drags or apes? If it's drags will you offer an ape option or will you sell the bars in your store? If you sell the bars will you also sell the cables to go with? If apes are an option, what size? Me thinks 16 to 18 inch would be perfect. Also are your bars going to be 7/8 or 1 inch? HUH HUH I WANNA KNOW???? | |

| I've been down & out for the last week or so. I had a stupid accident and I'm embarrased to talk about it. There IS a reason why men should not be allowed to cook.
Only I could be cut & burned at the same time. | |

| LOL. I cook all the time and get burned and cut. O cooked in restaraunts for almost 20 years so I learned not to try and catch the knife when you knock it off the counter. I also learned that hot grease and water don't mix but they make a hell of a crackle and splash Hope you get better. The stickers should go out today. | |

| Also wanted to say that I will probably want one of your bikes when they come out. If you need a prototype tester you can send it my way and I'll ride the shit out of it for you and drum up some business for you while I'm doing it Just put some big ass apes on it | |

| Somehow I managed to blow up a glass bowl. Long story short, glass and boiling hot water everywhere.
I'll let you know when the first production bike rolls out the door. We'll work out something between us. | |
