Roger’s bike was one of the more interesting San Mateo customs on display…so much so that I returned to it several times for more photos…
Roger’s Harley was an absolutely over-the-top, wild custom with a list of features that just didn’t end. It had a crocodile kickstand (just visible in the photo above). Neon lights. A powered trunk lid. Custom wheels. Wild paint. Wild bars. Wild grips and foot pegs. And more.
Take a look at the next photo below. Do you recognize the pattern in the custom, chromed billet wheels? That’s the Maserati logo, which appears in several spots on this motorcycle. I asked Roger if he owned a Maserati. “Yes, and a Bentley, too!” he said. Wow.
The seat was perhaps the wildest touch of all. Check out the crocodile eyes…
The gold plating was extensive, too. If you look just in front of the seat in the photo above, note the lettering in the dash panel. It says “24K” as in 24 karats.
Roger told Susie and me that he had a cool $140K invested in this motorcycle. That’s pretty wild. I’m not normally a fan of gussied-up baggers, but this bike is an exception.
Well done, Roger, and thanks for allowing us to photograph it.
