00:00 This bike originally started as a sportster and I needed a dirt bike so I decided to build

00:15 a dirtster instead of a sportster and I hand built all the body out of road signs.

00:21 I went and got them from the second hand road sign place and I bought them and they were

00:26 going to paint the little rivets on them but decided no let's put aircraft rivets so we

00:30 went and got aircraft rivets and made a body up for it and now that's my little adventure

00:35 bike when I go dirt bike riding and I go with all the latte sippers and ride around with

00:40 all them boys and we have a lot of fun on this little dirt bike.

00:43 It's quite nice.

00:44 If you have a look you'll see the bright yellow on the road sign.

01:04 Extremely unusual to have a Harley trail bike.

01:10 All the tanks and guards are hand engraved in Mexico.

01:28 A festival called the day of the dead.

01:32 One off set of tanks and guards and there's no paint on them so it's quite unusual to

01:37 put it in the best paint because there's no paint on them.

01:40 They're completely hand engraved and hand beaten.

01:42 Pretty cool.
