Not only has he done all of us 650'ers proud with his beautiful peice of machinery,but handled the interviews with class.

Go underdog!!!! He said he spent $13,000.00 and got second among all those other builders.....who probably spent 10 times that. Congrats to them all.

Like mentioned, it is featured on the main page under 2-16-11. The video in the second link shows the bike the best.

Here's that video:

There are also some pretty good shots of the bike in the babes and XS650 thread!

Congrats Frankie!

Nice job guys. I wish I could get my engine covers polished like that! Nice job.

i normally don't like bobbers but that is one sharp bike

I can't believe he got the aluminum that shiny. I think it's chrome. I actually like this bike. Most would look better with a Harley twin in it but this one suits the motor.

Congrats, I saw it at the DC show and everybody was definately scoping it out. I think there was one other XS competing too.

Finally someone who spent more than me... phew. Awesome stuff beating out all the Hog runners who as stated above, probably spent 5 times that much. A Yamaha XS Victory. Well done Frank.

Guys Thank you all for all your great comments.... It was a great show and a great experience. I have done a lot of ride in shows and even a few 3 day weekend shows and the bike has always done well. I have a second beroom full of awards to prove that... my wife hates it . But to even place at a show of this caliber was huge. To take 2nd place is a field of 50k-100K bikes was just unbelieveable. Next year im going to hit this again and then im going to follow it up to NYC and see what she does there.

Im going to awnser everyone in a seperate reply. Thanks again for all the support and i want to take a moment to personally thank Travis to his kick-ass XS site that definatly is a great source of knowedge, creativity and all around fun.

Thanks again to all of you.

Skip,

Thank you very much my brother from the Great White North. As for my interview.... you were very very very kind. I stutter. ive dont it my hold life and joke that the first words out of my mouth were mmmmm-mom. So to site in front of the cam for the first time was a scary spot.... As soon as the red light was on, I was like a deer in the headlights. But the more I did, the better i got at it. So after doing 3 days of interviews during the show, I got better at it as i went. But the time I did the 2nd place interview it was almost perfect.

My friend that did his interview with his XS650 that we build for him was totally drunk off his ass during his interview. I this he says "origional 1977 XS 650" like 15 times in 6 minutes. Next time I'll give Travis a shout out.... see if we can crash his server.

Thanks again,

Frankie

Little Bill,

I know right, I had the 2nd inexpensive bike in the show. the other XS650 that was in the show was another one of my builds. I sold that bike to Joe for 6,500. He did really well in the show aw well. The guy that won had a 100K War Eagle that he bought. What are you gonna do?

Thanks again,

Frankie
