I’m not sure what Steve has up his sleeve, but he wants to make room on the showroom floor and we’ve got three custom bikes we’re offering smokin’ hot deals on…just how smokin’ these deals are I don’t even know, but if I know Steve, I’m guessing they’re going to be good!
The first two bikes are the last two Bobbers we have left, and when these go…well, they’re gone. They’re the last of the very limited run we made this year, and both of these bikes are brand new 2012 models.
I had an idea to do a super-wide shot of the two bikes side by side with our blue California sky in the background when Steve told me what he wanted to do yesterday, and the weather really cooperated this morning. It’s hotter than you-know-where out here, but the air is clear and the conditions are right for good shots. In fact, I shot a few photos to dial in my Nikon with the big 12-24 Tokina lens, and I liked one of the “gettin’ ready” shots so much I thought I’d include it here, too…
Both of these Bobbers have our custom Satin Blue paint, and they sure look good against that vibrant sky!
We have another blowout bike…and that’s the CSC Silver Shadow. This bike has an interesting story. We built it to see what a nearly-completely-dechromed scoot w0uld like like, with silver tank and fenders to match our stock wheels. It actually cost us a lot more to build this bike than it would to build a stock Classic with all of its chrome features, but we wanted to see what it would look like. We thought it might give the bike a bit of a less expensive look, but boy oh boy, were we ever surprised when we finished it. When the bike rolled out of the factory, it looked far richer than a stock Classic.
We used the Silver Shadow (as it quickly became known) a few weeks ago as our Canadian certification bike. When it came back from our friends up north, the bike had 24 miles on it, and that’s what it has today. Maybe a moose chased those boys…I don’t know. Anyway, I personally think this is one of the best looking bikes we’ve ever built…
The Silver Shadow is another bike you can give us a call about. It’s a stunning bike and it is absolutely one of a kind. And it only has 24 miles on it. Oh, and just so you have it handy, our toll free number is 800 884 4173.
I’m pretty excited about the weekend…we’re having another 909 Scooter Club gathering here tomorrow morning, and from there we’re going to ride Glendora Ridge Road up in the mountains. I’ll have my camera with me and I’ll have a bunch of photos for you in the next few days right here on the blog.
One more thing…I’m putting a new battery in the Baja Blaster tonight. Mine lasted a little more than 2 1/2 years, which includes the Baja trip we did to wring out the CSC design back in the day. More than two years is pretty good for a motorcycle battery. I might have been able to get a few more months out of it, but it sounded like it was straining a bit more than usual when I started the bike and I thought it would be a good idea to throw a new one in my favorite motorcycle.
That’s about it for now, folks. I’m looking forward to getting some miles in this weekend on my CSC, and I hope you are, too! Ride safe!
