Dirico Motorcycles

So yesterday, me and my girlfriend were out shopping for a helmet at the local HD dealer and I ran across this little gem:



not my pic

Now, the picture doesn't do this bike justice at all because it's absolutely badass in person. I was mesmerized. They had a few of these as well as some of the other bikes in the lineup as well. But I absolutely loved the vintage look.

I called the sales manager this morning to talk some more about them, and he told me that the one in that picture goes for mid $30's. I kinda laugh and he tells me more about the company. Dirico was started by Steven Tyler and his neighbor (for whom the Dirico name originates). The bikes use OOTB and CVO HD engines for reliability purposes. Each bike is autographed by Steven. I think they're mostly in New England, but they're slowly making their way across the country. Most of the product testing was done on New Hampshire backroads from what I understand.

So then I looked a little deeper once I got back home. If you look closely, it doesn't look unlike a Cross Bones. Just slap a bunch of orange paint on it, throw the 110" motor it, have Steven Tyler sign it, and bam - $15K markup.

I thought the expensive chopper days were over. All the OCC and WCC bikes and mom and pop customs have gone the way of the dodo. Nobody's refi'ing their mortgage to buy these things anymore. Even MOCO is seeing sales decline as of late.

Would you buy one? I wouldn't. But I'm a cheap bastard too.

If Steven Tyler's got anything to do with it, it'll start out kind of cool, then get all screwed up on drugs, then come back doing nothing but sappy power ballads, finally totally selling out and doing American Idol.

No thanks.

I barely got enough for gas money right now. I was just curious about what the hell they were. I've never seen one before.

If lame were a color, it would probably be orange.
