You didn't rate your own BigDaddy, but I have to say, she is one mighty fine machine. You just take care of her now, would ya?

[miker]

WOW!!! Miker,  what's needed to get her in the wind?

Speedo bezel (rechome) rear fender rack, air cleaner cover, seatin the rings and some rags to catch the oil....It is the last year of total loss oilers...

I thought we weren't supposed to judge our own rides. I think my scoot can hold its own. Thanks SoKool. Later,Q

I think it's a little better then holding it's own.

He's how they line up for me:

1)Terry's Ultra: Everybody has already hit on the high points, it is simply just a beautiful bike. With looks and ride.
2)Q's SERK: Awesome color/graphics, Bling, always spotless, again, just a beautiful bike.
3)Puzzled, Road Glide: Great color, paint/graphics, wheels and rare.
4) Any 05’ VRSCSE in Two tone Cherry. (Even with the skinny rear tire)
5) SkyCUSE2 love the color and the setup, just looks so sweeeeet!!

There isn’t anybody’s bike on this site that I don’t like something about. From Chips Frontier, which he agreed to sell to me for only $9.5K plus $40K shipping, to the yet to be seen Walt’s SE Trike, they all have something above the norm and are all unique in there own way.

Hats off to everybody!

Thanks for posting,

No doubt about that, Q...your scoot stands alone as a unique and superb example of that year's CVO RK.  Gots to love the purple, man...

I've been off the forum for a while and just stumbled across this thread. Good topic Chip!

I was fortunate enough to be at both the cvo gatherings last year to meet the special members of this forum and look at all the fabulous iron that brings us all together.

It was very interesting to see all the modifications and personalizing everyone has done to their pride & joy. Some of us have made mods to fix the MoCo's short comings. Others went for creature comfort, safety & reliability for their long journeys across the country. Then some went for the wow affect and pimped out their ride to express their personality. Some kept their ride in stock form for it's limited edition value or for a future trade.

The way I look at it, if your ride puts a smile on your face and a feeling of pride in your soul, you've succeeded. And that's all that matters.

That being said, I can name about twenty scoots that come to mind right now. But Chip asked us to name three and an honorable mention, so here's mine off the top of my head.

1) Otis's Black Road Glide- The paint is amazingly flawless for it's year and with the checkered flag front fender and "stock" motor it makes a bold statement that it's a winner!

2) Sorry, Two way tie  ...
   
   Twolane's red bike- Too much to list. All I can say is it's a spoiled brat and very well deserving.

   Terry's Black Crimson Ultra- Again too much to list. Just a pure classy beauty. Would be perfect wearing a tux and riding down fifth avenue.

3) Bigdaddy's Grape Ape Hangin' Road King- Beautiful paint and a perfect blend of personality with an attitude. A real looker!

My honorable mention goes out to a non CVO. But it is a CCVO.
Chips Custom Vehicle Obsession

The Silver-Black Frontier- A true show stopping, very limited, ground pounding piece of art! From it's raked out front end to it's enormous rear tire this bike must be seen in person to appreciate it's beauty and performance. Truly amazing to say the least. Silky smooth looks and now with 140hp/141tq it's gotta be lightening fast. Truly a one of a kind!

Those are the bikes I've seen in person.

One of the best bikes in my opinion that I haven't seen in person is Spiderman's Elvis. I've had the pleasure to see his bags and seat at Alligator Bob's. Astonishing one of a kind art work and craftsmanship. That, along with it being a 100th anniversary CVO and with Brian's personal touches it's a true treasure!

I'd also like to thank those of you that commented on my Dagger Bagger. It makes me very proud to be included in your thoughts. Thank You.

Take care,

Grover

Had missed this thread until was pointed at it a moment ago.  Neat thread.  To all those that liked the red bike; thanks very much.  I see it all the time so I supposed I take it for granted.  Seeing that others appreciate the effort is nice.

In all honesty, however, it's not in my own top three for that combined measure that makes so many of the machines here over the top.

For SEEG's my pick would be Grover's.  Of those I've seen it simply sets the bar.  A level of detail, bling and performance all in one package I've not seen duplicated on any other.  I'd love to see Hogasm's now with all he's done to it since I saw it lost.  It's got to be a highline now too.

My favorite SEUC so far would have to be Terry's.  And I'm not at all a big fan of the paint schemes for that year.  But TC's just blows me away for the care, attention to detail, thoroughness and the scope of the changes he's made.

My favorite SERK would have to be any Candy Brandy bike if we actually had a really active participant among the friends.  I just go weak in the knees for that paint.  For real rather than phantom SERK's the one that grabs me is Elvis.  Q's is a close close close second.  I love the way that bike turned out with the wheels and other changes in the last year or so.  But Elvis would squeak by as my SERK first choice.

My favorite SERG is Otis.  It's just beautiful.  I'm a sucker for those colors.  But it runs great, looks great and you know it's adored by its owner. 

Those are all touring models.  But those are what I pay the most attention to.  Picking an honorable mention from among the others, however, my next in line would be Buffy's bike.  I love those red bikes too.  And the rest of his changes and additions all look like they were just there from day one.  A really sweet machine.

Great thread Chip.  Thanks very much.  Lots of fun to think about all of them.
