Great pix fellas. That Indian is beyond cool, but the 74in Low Rider or Fat Bob is just gorgeous also!

Re: Vintage Rally 2008

Baza, I think Chilly meant this one:



It's Nick's 58 CH "Then came Bronson" replica... They were about 3 of these made for the TV series in 69 by Bud Ekins, Steve Mc Queen buddy, did the jump for Steve in the Great Escape, he recently passed away and was a great H-D collector. Nick went from Scotland to collect a Jim Belland/Mert Lawwill XLRTT race replica frame in Nottingham and just done the "small" detour to show it to us!!! Dedication, dedication...

Patrick

Re: Vintage Rally 2008

Thats the one Patrick,great looking bike,just love those early Sportsters fired by Mags,my kind of bike

Not nit picking here by any means,but is that the way these bikes wear there rims,the front being steel,the rear Alloy,seen a few like it,just seems odd to me coming off of Brit stuff that always had either alloy or steel fitted to both wheels,not one of each.

Somebody lost his 8" red maglite on the site. It's been found,... don't think it's a lady's one..., phone Kev if it's yours...
