My buddy just sent me this picture, this thing looks pretty tough. Just thought it was cool to see a bike come from a chopper builder that wasn't so cookie cutter.

Seen that at Bikefest last year in Carlisle PA....always liked Russel's stuf...

Exile is by far my favorite chopper builder.
And the cool thing is not only are his bikes bad ass looking, he actually invents/engineers new parts all the time and then mass produces and sells them to the other guys! :-D

hmmmmm.....I think these guys saw Rodburner's ride and were so inspired they built this using a v-twin as a base.

Exile is very cool, and innovative. I heard them described as something like this "all of their bikes are unmistakingly Exile, but none of them look the same."

I've seen a few of their bikes in person and man o man, they make my sticker peck out, and my wallet run and hide.

That bike has carbon fiber wheels, ultra light and ultra expensive. I'm sure a speed triple would run circles around that bike though, and at 1/6th the cost.

Nice to look at, but useless otherwise, not street legal, not fast enough for the track, a trailer queen for sure.

Why do you say that? :???:
For a custom chopper, this thing looks pretty streetable. Compared to what comes out of OCC and the like. It has rear suspension, dual discs up front, looks like it has an actual silencer on the exhaust.... just needs some lights/signals.

Ditto, I think there "little or no chrome" style of building is very refreshing.

Isn't that the bike they built for Biker Build off?

Look closely, that bike has lights. on the front you can barely see the tiny headlight poking out from above the bottom triple clamp.

See?

you can't see the tailight here, but I wanted to post a pic of this chick:

sticker shock, anyone?

RAYTECH · 01-31-2007, 07:13 PM

It's street legal go to the EXILE site the headlight set up is awesome!!!! A speed trip probally would out handle Russel's bike. However this bike is way more unique, thats what is all about !!!
