Default American Thunder episode last night

Not sure if it was a re-run or not, but last night they interviewed a motorcycle club in LA called Rare Breed. Man, they had some really sweet baggers! I feel my East coast ride would have fit right in Cali. Maybe I'm in the wrong place... Southern MD.

Anyway, some of the customizations they had looked awesome to me, so I thought I would share.

I saw that and was floored that they let Michelle in the club houselike that. It seemed like they were pretty hard core. But then again they said that they were all about helping kids so maybe they're not 2%ers.

Saw the show. Some of those bikes were not really what my taste is but you have to respect the quality of the workmanship and the hours that were put into them. They were some pretty awesome rides.

I saw the show and I thought I heard that most of the bikes started out as salvage and were re- habbed by a shop in their area. There was some serious money spent on those rides.

That was a great show.
They finally did a good one.
I thought the re-runs would never end. Or maybe I hadnt seen that one before.
Some sweet rides though.

Exactly right NB. Some of the bikes may not be to everybodies tastes, but you gotta respect the craftmanship. Thats how it goes for me everyday. Bikes in my area are usually one color with lots of chrome and a few mods like wheels and chrome bling. I dared to be different a few years ago when I built my bike... some like it, some dont, but all respect the hard work I put into it!

As for the RK wheely.... maybe I'm a squirrel, but MAN do I want to be able to do that to mine!

Thank you for all the compliments.

I'm a member of Rare Breed MC, I hadeven more pride for my club after watching the show last night.

I'm the secreatary for the Altanta Chapter we are almost 30 strong now, the LA Chapter is well over100 members.

Not 2% we only participate and sponsor charitible events---it's a great feeling being in the club -- it gives one the feeling of being part of something that is an agent for positive change.

Not only are the bikes visual candy we actually ride them -- the most coverted patch you can get is being a "ground pounder" -- you got to ride -- no trailer queens. Got 19k on 07 SG

We are having a party Breed Week in LA June 26, 27 28you all welcome to join us.

Here is a link to our website http://www.rarebreedmc.smugmug.com/

Doing wheelies and rolling burn-outs is just part of being Breed--not for everyone but suits me just fine.

It was a new episode, and yes, those rides are sweet.
I see them at the local HD events, charity rides etc. They do spend some serious money.
They alway roll w/ 5-10 bikes like the ones you saw.
Those guys are approachable and answer questions about their ride.
They will be out in force in Aug, Los Angeles HD is having its annual bike show.

NICE RIDE STICKMMAN
