My name is Bob Denniston and I have owned 4 bikes in my life, but my 2004 Bourget is my favorite by far! It is a Fat Daddy model and was built by Bourget Bike Works out of Phoenix, Arizona. The bike has 15,000 miles on it and the S&S 113 engine has all the power you need to keep up with the big boys. I changed the cam shaft to an S&S 600 lift and the paint was laid at Dino’s. I also changed the ignition to a Dyna 2000i and the pipes are Custom Chrome. My front wheel is a 21” Bourget and I run an Avon Venom 90/90-21”. On the rear the wheel is an 18” Bourget, with an Avon Venom 300/35 R18. Short and Sweet!
Maintenance and any changes to my bike are handled by Blackrose Machine Shop in Omaha NE.
When I ordered this bike the dealer took my measurements like I was ordering a custom suit. This was to ensure that the handle bars & front controls would be a perfect fit, FOR ME! It’s so comfortable that I rode it on an 860 mile road trip. This bike was built for Bar hopping and Poker runs and that is what I use it for.
My girlfriend bought her first bike this year. To no surprise to me, she is a very good rider. I love seeing so many women riding their own bikes, they look hot!
The best thing by far is the social benefit of owning a bike. There are so many bike events that you can stay busy all year round. OH, I almost forgot about the attention you get just riding this bike, that doesn’t hurt either.
Perfect post!
Glad you enjoyed it!
