I was walking on the 101 in Encinitas on Saturday evening with my daughter, and we saw this wacky but awesome Harley-Davidson:
It has some racer stylings, monster rubber, a forward-facing exhaust, side-mounted headlight…pretty unique bike, and in person, it really looked great. It also reminded me of Alex O’Loughlin’s custom Sporty that Cro Customs has been working on. We’ve had some postings on it in the past (here and here), but I thought I’d check in for any updates, and sure enough, there are several. It seems that they’ve been doing some tweaking on his bike, from the new pegs to the new seat. They also have a posting (including pics) documenting a September visit from Alex…want to know what a nice guy Alex is? The day after the premier of Whiteout, he stopped by the shop and ended up taking the folks there out for lunch after a cruise on their steel horses. Avid Alex fans may have already seen all of this, but for anyone else, enjoy.

Update….just the day after I posted this originally, the Cro Customs site had a new entry with Alex picking up his freshly painted ride:
Check out their photo gallery of Alex and his bike.
