Going in a different direction, Roland Sands is a custom bike builder that has shown creativity beyond the typical chopper. He does them, too.....but does considerably more than.

And now for some more customs....some sweet rides, some not so sweet

First, the not so sweet.

The Guinness Book of World Records has verified this huge motorcycle as the world's heaviest. This specific monster was constructed in Zilly, Germany by Harzer Bike Schmiede, and named, "Led Zeppelin". It weighs approximately 4 1/2 tons, and the engine out of an old Russian tank weighs 1.8 tons by itself.

What were they thinking?

Gunbus 410 Cubic Inch V-Twin Motorcycle
Made by a company Leonhardt Manufacturing, called because of its founder Clemens Leonhardt, the GUNBUS 410 is a real monster. It is powered by the fuel injected, 45 degree 6728 cc / 410 cubic inch V-Twin engine and operates by using a three speed gear box with reverse.

It sits so tall, I don't see how anyone could balance it while stopped.
But looks like it's finished off nicely.

More of my dual sport ride in Nevada:













Flat tire in the desert.

Flats suck..I rode 12 miles on a flat once..sit on the tank and leaned forward as far as I could..still a pretty squirrely ride..no harm to the tire though.
