Harley Davidson V-Rod

Yesterday, I, The Chief at Motorbike Transport was invited to the stable of George Athan and boy was I impressed.

I arrived around 8pm, we just started losing the sun light, George comes to greet me with his big smile and presses the remote control of one of his garages, the garage with the toys, a C5 Corvette, 1992 Harley Davidson Fat Boy with only 18,000 kilometers, his Custom Chopper and his unbelievably cool and unique Harley Davidson V-Rod that has one many awards.

The Corvette is something quite special, it is a 2001 model that has only covered 35,000 kilometres, a black beauty with polished alloys, $5,000 exhaust and currently for sale for $82,000AUD, George says it's time to buy an old classic Mustang, something that the whole family can enjoy.

The Fat Boy was George's first Harley Davidson, he purchased it brand new. George really spoiled himself and went all out with the brakes, pipes, head work, exhaust, this bike is something special and apparently sounds awesome.


In regards to the Custom Chopper, George is slowly building this bike, he purchased a 113 cube S & S engine, a frame from the US, designed the guards himself, and hes going chain drive, rims from the US, made the seat himself, quite a handyman, very impressive.


Now the V-Rod (above) is the all out custom, George has left nothing alone on this one and spent an enormous amount of money and time to get this V-Rod to where he wanted it. After purchasing the V-Rod, it stayed two years in his garage untouched all the while George was putting his plans on paper on how he would achieve one of the most beautiful and unique V-Rod's in the entire world. The rear tyre is a 280, a special swing arm was manufactured out of billet from a guy in Germany, specially commissioned by George himself. The induction system is all genuine Harley Davidson, the rims were designed by George and given to Dragway to build, the tank and rear guard are carbon fibre, he's had 35 kilos shed from this baby, this bike is one very very serious Harley Davidson V-Rod. The paint job is mind blowing and the air suspension is so cool. This V-Rod blew me away.


George, congratulations on a dream stable worth every penny.
