Actually this is not quite as overtly radical as the other ANAC bagger and after taking a look at this 2007 Street Glide which in all reality is quite wild, it looks like a custom that wouldn’t be averse to putting on some miles. Whether this bike’s owner, Larry Robinson, loads up those twin aft-mounted fiberglass containers with all the junk you need for a weekend’s ride and hits the highway with a vengeance is unknown, but it sure looks like he could.

 

  Yup, that’s a trendy big hoop up front, but it ain’t no thirty. You know, it’s kinda funny how now anything smaller than a 30” front wheel seems somewhat reasonable and certainly usable. Another little tell tale that this bike just might be meant to be actually ridden is the accommodations for a passenger. Rarely do we see passenger pegs anymore on custom baggers, but not on Larry’s bike. He’s a man with a plan and that plan includes enjoying this bike with someone who can add to his enjoyment.

 

   If you really look over the end result you can see that everything from the riding position to the pretty, but hit the key and go engine to an audio system that doesn’t require an engineering degree to operate. Same goes for the striking but restrained gold paintjob with gothy graphics. Maybe it’s not exactly what you would do, but Larry ain’t you and I’m sure he wouldn’t have it any other way. All in all, it looks like a custom bagger you could hop on and ride without a pile of pre-flight instructions. 

 

   Not many years ago this would have been the wildest bagger you’d ever seen, but with some of the zaniness that’s going on now, it’s surprisingly subtle in a radical way. No doubt we all love looking at custom bikes, but riding them is what it’s really all about. ANAC’s Tracey Fields obviously has never lost his love of riding as well as building and that’s fine by me.
