Ironhead sportster motorcycle

Steve Wright's 1970 Ironhead Sportster

A dude can't be a member of the Douche Larouche MC "soft core" porn stars from Los Angeles, CA, a partner at Heavy Clothing and ride a regular old motorcycle, can he? That's what Steve Wright asked himself, so he got together with friends and family and they built this long and narrow ironhead Sportster. It's got an oil tank with a horn, just like the mythical creature the DLMC love so much. All kidding aside, this bike showcases some serious talent and has more than a few magical features.

Back story: I almost broke my knee trying to start it, and I almost crashed when I rode it the first time. The brake didn't work as well as I thought.
