You all got to read about him crashing his last bike last summer. He took delivery of his 08 Road King in Nov and has been getting ready for spring time. He is all healed up from the accident minus his shoulder. It looks like he might have to have surgery on it to fix his rotator cuff, but they are not sure yet.

We found a guy to paint his new bike for him, so I figured I would pass along some of the pictures to look at. On the front fender, he wanted a gravestone with his old bikes name, and an empty one for himself, since he got lucky and basically walked away. The accident was called in as a fatality, and it was amazing that he was out of the hospital and walking around within 2 days...

Tell your dad that if he doesn't wear his helmet - ALL the time - I'll help you kick his ass.

Looks sick Clint. I would hate to see the price tag, but whatever it was... it was worth it.

Price was 2300 bucks for all the prep/paint/teardown/assembly of the pieces.

Guys name was Tom, he owns creative tattoing here in GJ. He does alot of the custom Harley paint around here, and came highly recommended. My dad is really happy with how it all came out as well. Now, he just needs not to crash this one into an SUV :)

Sweet artwork but the theme is too morbid for me. Call me superstitious.
