RIDER: Rob Ray's 2015 Street Bob

I bought this bike wrecked back in 2016 from the Copart auction back when I had a motorcycle business going. I was buying wrecked bikes and flipping them as well as working on customers bikes. I had this bike sold and the dude backed out right at the time I sold my personal Dyna, which was a full custom Dyna Bagger on air ride. This particular wrecked bike was so clean and had only 1300 miles, so I decided to keep it and start over. I wanted to build a bike that was a practical and reliable machine that could be hammered on and rode a long distance and not worry about issues arising. I finished it night before I took it to Born-Free 9. After that show I rode it to Lake of the Ozark's in Missouri. And from there to Sturgis and then back to CA. I left with a basically pristine new bike and came back with a bike just totally thrashed. It was so rock chipped and beat up, so I decided to sell it. It wasn’t really my style anyways just another blacked-out Dyna. I had a bunch of dudes low balling me and trying to get it for nothing. Finally, I had a guy on his way with cash and I had a change of heart, so told him forget it I’m keeping the bike. At this point the bike had been through too much with me. Across a good part of the country, through a divorce, and all kinds of late night "sun in your eyes" homeward trips with the sun in your eyes. After I made my decision, that very night the bike was totally torn apart and I said to myself "this time I’m really building it for me with my style being the number one order of business." And so here it is. Its a fusion between Hot Rod, performance and Chicano Lowrider that literally has my name on it, where I’m from, and a logo of my close friends at Hard Case Performance. I finished the bike up about 1am on the same day as the FXR’s of California show and bombed to Sacramento. I test rode the bike at 100mph on the way to a show slowing down to grab a clip of Modelo Cheladas at the liquor store. Who knows what the next saga to this bike is. Hopefully it wont be wrecked and getting auctioned off at Copart again.
