A Pub?!? That would be awesome.  $250k? Nevermind...

In a few years Fastwin will show up one one of these Confederates. Wearing a Suzuki jacket. With a cattle guard up front.

That was the first thing I thought of, might be an illusion, but it looks longer than most choppers.

and I personally think it's one of the ugliest bikes I've seen.  I put it in the category of the new Victory Vision

Free beer for a year? That would be worth donating $75 to the pub fund.

Although, I could see myself on the new HD "old school" Springer Softtail........the cross bones.

except I would change the exhaust and lower the bars a little.  Maybe slash cut exhaust with exhaust tape.

A bike says something about it's owner so it should reflect the owner in the best way.


This is what the owner of the Confederate would look like....

cant help it, I've always liked the springer front end, now that it's no so grampa looking, its pretty nice.  Fat front tire, springer forks, bobber seat, matte black paint, black motor

nope.  *not* sh1t hot.  *not* black.  *not* a triple 9, and *not* xerox.

so, frankly, I do not see the point.

Also, it's 60" longer than my "man"-hood, and that I cannot abide...
