The street address of Rick's motorcycles in Baden-Baden is Flugstrasse 1 and this name has a history. It was here that Graf Zeppelin landed his air-ships whenever touring the southern part of Germany. Initially, Baden-Baden's flight terminal was a stop on the very first flight route Friedrichshafen/Baden-Baden/Mannheim. And Anthony Fokker subjected to testing his trials right here, before they taken over the skies on the Western Front in World War I.
In 2010, the airport, only a shadow of its original size and significance, commemorated 100 years, and besides the winged old-timers and sailplanes, it's the low flying motorcycles at nearby House of Custom that draw in considerable particular attention.
There are always a variety of high end, custom made motor bikes inside the large display room at Rick's and quite often just a review with the stock product reveals how sophisticated Rick's motorbikes are. When H-D introduced the new VRSCA V-Rod, Patrick Knoerzer of Rick's Motorcycles and his team quickly spearheaded the effort to transform and improve the new model.
During the first years, just about all VRSCAs was lacking tank total capacity and it was Rick's that found alternate options. Rick's 280 V-Rod conversions are probably the most well-liked in the marketplace and tend to be very popular from accredited Harley-Davidson dealers. But a completely built by Rick's motorbike is another thing, as this Low Flying Rod shows. It is extremely simple to say Rick's paints the motor and frame, only if you took your motorbike completely apart to do this task could you visualize that extraordinary amount of work helps make the distinction between stock and rock! This bike has been taken apart almost to the last nut and bolt, painted, powder-coated, and then built into a low-rider muscle motorbike. Almost all of the complete line of Rick's V-Rod components has been used: front fender, short-cut tail end, saddle, and the tank cover that combines the Speedo taken off its stock handlebar cover up spot.
Just about all drivetrain components which includes rims are black as night, with the 10-1/2"-wide rear end wheel hosting a 280 Metzeler tire. To install this huge rubber on the stock V-Rod frame, they use a specially engineered offset lever presenting an added support bearing that can take the extra forces and many more. Designed with Legend air shocks, the motorcycle can be elevated from show-low to street-burning high.
The stock VRSCA delivers a mind-blowing 121 horse power, which the 280 can well give on the road. This motorbike does not pretend to be a muscle bike, it is a muscle motorcycle! It's tough and geared up for the street, yet it's still a stock Harley-Davidson which can be repaired by every H-D dealer worldwide.
