Another One of Corky’s Bikes.
As I mentioned in an earlier post (which contained a picture of one of Corky’s bikes), Corky is the bro of my friend and bodyguard, Ken, and he designs and fabricates badass motorcycles. Below is yet another of Corky’s bikes. Sweet, no?
While in Florida in May, Corky let me sit on this Bad Boy, but given my long-expired motorcycle license, my blood alcohol level at the time, and his (and my) desire not to turn this beauty into scrap metal, he “suggested†that I not fire it up.
Here is a close-up of the rear fender with the raised image. Corky explained how he did this, but did I mention my blood-alcohol level at the time? Damned if I know how he did it, but it is most impressive.
Should you be interested in talking with Corky about one of these bikes or something else you have in mind (particularly if you live anywhere near Florida), shoot me an e-mail, and I’ll hook you up.
As I said in the prior post, in the interest of full disclosure, I suspect that my “commission†should you buy one of Corky’s units, will be a cold beer, which works for me.
Damn nice, do I see another TV show coming?

Okay – I have a question – seriously I do. I just never knew anyone who had bikes like that. So here it is…
I look at those handle bars and they’re so high and forward compared to the seat, don’t your hands go numb after driving it for a while? I mean, it’s a beautiful bike, the paint job is gorgeous. It’s just that I see them once in a while and I look at how the rider has to sit bent forward with their hands way up high and I don’t see how anyone can actually ride them for any length of time.

teresa, the bike is very comfortable, i sit straight up, slight bend at the arms, knees bent a little; it’s a very good ride. i have made several long rides 400-500 miles, and i am very pleased with the ride. every bike i build is built to the person’s size. thanks for your comment CORKY CHARLOTTE COUNTY CUSTOMS

Wow. I find the face a little scary but what a custom job. Very cool.

Does Corky make it Bike Week in Daytona during March or October? Am sure he would draw a crowd with this.
(I live in the Daytona area.)
