Then I agree that it's great to make your own bike, I'm myself working on this matter, I was thinking out loud that BUILDING your own bike should not consist in UNBUILDING an existing bike first. Don't get me wrong, buddy. Hold on, Kevin, see the first sentence, I said it was a great initiative to take care of this fallen guy’s family.

Part of the enjoyment of owning a motorcycle is MAKING it your own. In this case, one of OUR war heros died and we are doing what ever we can to make sure that his son and mother are taken care of. One other thing.. you don't have to take anything off of a Victory to have a custom cruiser........ Nicolas has it all wrong.. Part of the enjoyment of owning a motorcycle is MAKING it your own.

You spent $30k in a bike that's worth $7k of material, you paid for the labor to build it, the labor to unbuild it, the parts to build it and to throw away then ... are you following me ... ? I'd love to have the opportunity to buy a bike without the body and accessories, cheaper than the complete one, and build mine as I want it to be ... wait a minute, let me register a patent ! ;-) Great initiative, hope they gonna get lot of good $$ for the kiddies.
