A Harley What?

I did not know this.


Last Sunday the bro had a Dad’s Day family get together. One neighbor of his with deep pockets and a fetish for expensive gadgets brought over his factory made Harley Davidson Destroyer.

The bro had previously described it to me as a Harley drag bike that was illegal to ride on the streets. While I have seen a few true drag bikes what he described to me was nothing that I had envisioned.

His neighbor was describing it to me before he brought it over. I pressed him for details and caught him unprepared to answer them. His frustration caused this guy to go home and get it. It was worth it.

The Harley Destroyer.

This is a highly tweaked, limited edition custom V-Rod model set up BY THE MOTOR COMPANY for retail sale. Well shut my mouth. I did not know they offered something like this.

He cranked it up and revved it. Good Lord! Loud, it was.

When he came up the drive I questioned why it was equipped with 2 into 1 Vance and Hines pipes, since it came from the factory.

That’s the kind of question that really pissed this guy off. I had him flummoxed, unintentionally.

Oh well. That bike sure has some nuts.
