Rolling Bones is old school chopper built in the classic California kustom
kruiser hot-rod style. This bike features a soft-tail
Daytec frame with a 2" backbone stretch, 2" down-tube stretch and 37 degree rake
with a 4" over retro springer front-end.
The bike includes chubby 18" ape-hanger handlebars, a
Maltese-cross drop mirror, a a classic sporty tank, chrome oil bag, a
Hypercharger intake, Sampson pipes and a hard-tail style drag fender.
The bike is finished in retro flat-black with red & white beatnik style
pinstripes. The tank features a custom airbrushed pin-up girl on with a pair of rolling dice on
the rear fender.
This retro-style bike breaks from the norm by featuring a
state of the art drive-train. Starting with an S&S 113ci engine mated to a
6-Speed "kicker" transmission all rolling on red powder-coated 60-spoke wire rims with an Avon
250 on the back and a 21" chopper tire on the front. Dual front and Single rear
Brembo disc brakes complete the package provide the stopping power on this
incredible blend of modern muscle and retro-styling. This bike was
completed in early June 2004 and was ridden from the Vengeance factory to the
West Coast Super Show show Saturday June 5th in Irvine, CA. where the bike
received rave reviews from show participants and spectators alike.
John G. McDonnell President & CEO of Vengeance remarked. "The
Rolling Bones bike is a departure from our production bikes that are all polish
& chrome. This bike truely reflects the hotrod bike heritage of our team of
builders. Butch Madole, Ted Metcalf, Dale Madole, DJ Bowers, Stephen Sharpe and the rest of
the team brought this bike together and really created quite a stir. Its fun for
all of us to get to do these types of one-off projects." When asked if this
bike was scheduled for production Mr. McDonnell responded. "We always gauge
the reaction to our special projects and if our customers and dealers are
enthusiastic, we will respond to their desires. Bottom line if the customers
want them, we'll make it happen."
The Rolling Bones bike will be shown at a few of the rallies and then made
available for sale through one of the Vengeance dealers nationwide.
