This post is actually not by Big Ben, but his mostly absent partner The Stinger.

Unbeknownst to the biker community at large, I’ve been spending the past four months or so completely customizing my Harley. The result is what you see in the photo below.

  1. Good work Owen. I always have a soft spot for cut up Softails. Once you start though the urge keeps growing. Next thing you know you’ll be obsessed like I am and drool at Zero style samurai choppers, or brat style and become a chopper Otaku. So much cool stuff going on in Japan…

  2. Thanks, Rich. Yeah, there’s something about the fact that it’s a softail that makes it all the more “chopper-ish” or something.

    Now you got me scared! I wonder what I’ll get the urge to customize next! (Ha ha!)

  3. Hi Owen,
    Glad to see that Ben isn’t the only gaijin focused on bikes. Hope to see you and Yuka soon,
    Jo
