Go Bob go!!  I know Bob took a lot of pride in owing the Beast, must have been hard for him to give her up. I think the first ride I went on with Bob and the Beast was when we went to Windy Ridge on Mt. Saint Helens back in 2006. What a beautiful machine, just listening to her idle gave me goose bumps.
At least he know she's in good hands.  |

Wow, nice score Martin. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. Enjoy it!  |

Yes, he took great care of it! I think he feels good that it is in good hands. Yes the bark is impressive. I have riden it several times through the years, and yes goose bumps are common. It is a tight ride!
I was on that ride too with the OMT bike. |

Exactly, talk about a couple of intimating bikes! After that ride I adopted my Underdog avatar.  |

Martin, it must be bittersweet for Bob, to know that Da'Beast is going to you, someone that has been a close friend for so many years. Looking forward to you adding "your style" to whatever upgrades you plan on doing ..... I have no doubt it will be tastefully done and be improving on an already impressive machine. Congrats! |

I'm sure there are new folks who would like to know what is so special about this bike. Also, I'm sure there are folks like me who just forgot!
So, do you care to give a walk-through on YOUR bike? |

Very cool! I'm glad it stayed in "the club". I also cant think of a better place to stick your new motor either.  |

I would have cried, if I had to sell that bike. But I would have been the happiest guy around if I was buying it. Funny how that works.
Keep it in a wheelie, Jim |

Why does it appear the side cover has some serious orange peel? |

Jam, I came real close....believe me.... I did....... But Da Ninj has become my new obsession as the Blackbird XX was to Howie. She is in a great place now, for like an ex-wife, she must be maintained in a lifestyle that she is accustomed to, (only by Court order ), and I have to many projects and to little cash to give her the attention she deserves. Besides, as I told Martin, its time for him to enjoy her for a long while... and I as well have first dibs if he ever sells her, which hopefully will be NEVER.. 
Nothing worse then a Dragon Rider w/o a Dragon... Stout was due to ride the Dragon once again...and the timing couldnt have been more perfect for both of us....
Now, about that Bar B Q there Stout...... Im sleeping over, listening to righteous tunes & engaging conversation, and sipping much Scotch and Chinaco....

Wow!!
What more can I say, except congrats again, Martin. Glad you'll have a running steed for this year.
Bob, I am glad to hear you at least have something else in the garage to pamper. Putting Da' Beast up for adoption could not have been easy.  |

well, there is an exciting moment coming up - when that incredible engine comes to life and gets settled in. It's had just about everything thrown at it, with input from the best guys in the business.
I hope Stout puts up a video of that running

Thanx Dave... Yeah the Big Ninj is keeping me busy. Made it a bit easier to part with the Beast.
Speaking of videos, why YES we have one!! I imagine Martin is editing as I type. It was glorious to say the least, but a fouled plug put a slight damper on things, but once cleaned the New Beast fired up and percolated like a Banshee from the dark side of Hell.
Howie would be proud!! |
