Heavily Customized Metric V Twins

I recently went to the East Side Classic bike show in Austin, TX. Unfortunately, it was way too hot for my kids and my lady, so we couldn't stay as long as I would've liked. Fortunately, I was busy with the camera the whole time. I'll be posting some bike pix I took there. I think both of these kick-ass customs are Honda Shadows. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me in the comments section.

Cool-As-Shit fender struts.

Evidence that I do indeed drag my kids out in the heat so I can ogle purdy bikes

Brown & Yellow Intruder

A spiked dog collar framing the license plate. How cool is that?

Lone Star beer. Yup - it's a Texas bike!

No Excuses

It was 40 - 45 degrees and raining. Instead of asking for charity, this guy put his wheelchair on a sidecar and rode his bike to a Toy Run to help a charity.

A lot of people who normally attend this run either stayed home or drove cars. The kids get excited about motorcycles, so this guy joined in with those who didn't let a little weather scare them off.

I repeat: 40 degrees and raining. Sidecar to hold his wheelchair.

What's YOUR excuse for not riding?
