DAR HOLDSWORTH HAVIN A YAP ABOUT HIS NAVY 'TRIBUTE/THEME/DEDICATION/MEMORIAL BIKE' THING . . . . I AM NO FAN OF THE ENTIRE CONCEPT OF THE SWISS FAMILY IDIOT INDUCED "THEME BIKE" GIG . . . . BUT . . . . THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT IT CAN STILL END UP LOOKING NOT TOO UNLIKE A MOTORCYCLE.

What the Teutels and Discovery Channel have done to the world of custom motorcycles over the last decade should be classified as crimes against engineering aesthetics, I don't know if that makes them worse than all the sheep who ran off in great, mindless flocks and bought into the entire 'theme bike' shindig or not . . . . maybe they both dererve each other, who knows and who gives a fuck, it's all sewage under the bridge as far as I'm concerned, and all others of their ilk for that matter.

Dar Holdsworth, he of Brass Balls Bobbers fame, has jumped in with the currently incarcerated Billy Lane, to produce their own theme rides for the Services, Billy did Air Force [I think] and Darwin got the call up for the Navy . . . . the rest is by the bye, the end result for the Navy jigger is what I reckon to be the nicest lookin, best thought out, smartest engineered 'theme bike' yet.

No, I wouldn't own it even if I had the money and the inclination, but it sure goes to prove that this sort of broad spectrum, mass appeal, high mainstream public profile build can be undertaken with class and sophistication without having the end result looking like it was put together by a bunch of visually impaired troglodytes using tree trunks, lump-hammers and rocks.

In the Navy, you can . . . . . . . . .
