The word “custom,” as applied to motorcycles, only begins to scratch the surface of what the genre can be. Some people might install a few bolt-on parts, apply a wrap or a new paint job, and call it a day. Other people might do a complete 180 and build a totally new machine from the ground up.
It’s kind of funny that both bikes in this example can be considered ‘customs,’ but then again, English is weird. I’m not here to debate that, though. Instead, I’m here to tell you that the legendary RoaDog bike, originally built by William “Wild Bill” Gelbke back in the 1960s, is alive and well.
