AN EYE-SEARING, BLOOD PUMPING V-ROD FROM DGD CUSTOM!

Bloodsport

“I honestly didn’t see the motorcycle, officer.” Oh yeah! Try that on with this bike and your wrists would be zip-tied behind your back so fast your head would be spinning. When I began to look over the pics of this ride, my own head spun around a few times. And isn’t that the reddest red you’ve ever seen? By far? In fact, if this bike were a fire hydrant, dogs would travel huge distances to you-know-what on it.

But it isn’t a fire hydrant; it’s a retina-scorching custom V-Rod. There is nothing moderate about it. It’s light years from moderate. As I looked it over, it brought to mind a poster I saw on the wall of Wolski’s Tavern in Milwaukee some years back; “Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavour of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.” Monks indeed.

Dylan Goldsmith of DGD Custom in Sydney is the builder of this in-ya-face-red custom, who, when asked why, replied, “Because the idea was too cool not to build it” – so there you have it.
