Rides good until the front tire loses air pressure

[RackRunner007]

I think the rival is fueled more by the fans of each of these builders than by the builders themselves. I know there is friction in both camps for whatever reason but they both do fine work. It comes down to style for me, and I prefer the things that Shope has brought to the table. I've never met Shope, he's not a buddy of mine, and I have no intention of swinging from his nuts, but I do like his work. That's what makes this country great. There can be more than one King of the Hill

[RackRunner007]

And for me, while I appreciate all of these guys for the talents they possess, I think Shope is an innovator with they he designs his bikes. He's one of the top builders in my humble opinion. Dana Hallberg also does a great job, and for me he'll be the guy building my bike. He does awesome work and is a little closer to me than Arizona. I've read numerous articles and blogs where people are hating on one or the other. There seems to be an rival between Shope and McNamer (To be continued)...

[RackRunner007]

I guess it all comes down to which style you prefer. There are several guys doing custom bagger work. McNamer from Ballistic, Yaffe from Bagger Nation, Jim Nasi, Dana Hallberg from Deadline Customs, Dave Dupor from DD Custom Cycles and John Shope from Sinister Industries. Not all of them have came out with their own parts line and that's ok. I think they all do great work but for me it's a matter of design and personal taste. (To be continued)...

Hey You jealous F***s! John did the first 30" Street Glide. Ballistic did the first 30" Road Glide! Also you see how clear you talk when you are put on the spot to talk about your bagger on TV. You are obvously r swinging from Ballistics nuts! Why the hateing???? John busted his ass to get where he is and still busts his ass every day building. Get over the dramma you idiots!

Sara Shope (why don't you post your name you fu**!)

the most arogant conceited c@#$ just for his information Ballistic had the first 30 incher..prob doesnt do any of the work himself all of his posse should take the credit ..
