Thanks for sharing the pic's newbie!:cheers: man...I want some of those sick skulls for my paint!:whoop: awesome paint.....
Chopper Dave...the purgatory theme is sick...they have several bikes w/that theme and the 3-D graphics are wicked...11-15 coats of clear on average. Watching their level 3 painters in action was mind blowing...free hand. Damn those guys are talented:eek:

Looks like you had a good time, Newby - I recognized every corner from the times I was there. :whoop:

The paint just keeps getting better and better. :up:

How 'bout that delivery warehouse? Really blows your mind, doesn't it? :eek:

It appears business can't be too bad back at the Puppy Farm!

You're right about those prototypes - they really know how to keep a secret!

Looks like Boeing is going to force me to take another trip to Wichita in a coupla weeks - maybe there'll be something new to see by then - thought I'd take 'em a calendar or two. :D

We should have a BDM owners day, fly in to tour the plant, spend the night and head home the next.

Now we just need to find an employee of the airlines to book us passage at a discount on fed ex or something.

It's nice to know you have a real "hand built" bike.. agree the paint keeps getting better every year.. very cool tour.

Re: New - I'm guessing something along the X-Wedge line... Trotta told me himself that in 08 he contracted with them to do a Trotta edition or Trotta inspired bike... but haven't seen anything in the fab room...unless he's faxing them design work or something.

Interesting in the first pix's the organge bike had a SS Teardrop air cleaner on it. They also have a video of a factory tour on their web site which is also cool if you have not already seen it.. :)

LamboV12-yesterday when I told my dealer about the tour and the new bike, he told me it was an X-Wedge...but that's all he knew about it.

i heard the new bike is gonna be a "WOLF" with the X-WEDGE motor
So, a return of the Wolf! :eek: I thought maybe it would be my Chopper being resurrected! :D

Wonder if they will come up with some new dog names.

Angry Southern White Man
French Bulldog = automatic trans for the pussies that can't shift
Bull Mastiff = overly oversized for those really big riders
The Pup = plastic(or other material) toy for those really young riders


thats all I got right now.

We should make a pilgramage to the Tornado Ralley in Wichita...last year they had 30,000 dogs on Douglas Ave.

Yep - I don't see them resurecting the Tornado Rally anytime soon. It's a damn shame. Just as well this year since my summer's tied up with work so no long-haul rally's. They must figure they're doing well enough that they don't need to publicly excite the brand with a rally....

Hey, AIH doesn't have a rally and....oh ya...they're going belly up aren't they.
