A whats app comes through: “Is anyone else<br />

concerned about these noisy bikes drag racing<br />

up and down our street?” Man the joys of<br />

modern tech!<br />

Sorry neighbours! We weren’t actually racing, we were just<br />

taking the bikes out for a little cobweb shaker ride...<br />

A few weeks ago we got a message from Mr Evan Hutcheson,<br />

Multiple SA Cross Country and Rally champ. “Hey guys – I’ve<br />

built a couple of very special bikes for my mate Justen Cooper<br />

– how would you like to come and do a feature?”<br />

Well – it’s a tuff job, but someone has to do it – and we are<br />

pretty happy that we made the effort...<br />

There must be so many cool custom bikes out there that<br />

never see the light of day – or a camera. We rolled out to the<br />

spot where these bikes live and were greeted by some of the<br />

coolest Harleys that we’ve seen to date. Oh yes! There were<br />

also some pretty swanky cars lurking in the background – now<br />

those we’d love to go and drag sometime.<br />

But this here is a motorcycle mag so – while the cars are<br />

cool – that Martini Porche in particular tickling this guys fancy,<br />

the focus is on the three custom 883 Harleys that are proudly<br />

on display. The two flat trackers were built by Evan who is,<br />

himself a dirtbike guy – and the one with the strange wheels<br />

was bought as it stands.<br />

Even if you are not particularly a Harley fan, these ones are<br />

pretty special... And the more you look and examine, the more<br />

you see the attention to detail that goes into builds like this.<br />
