I had a couple bucks in my pocket and after scouring the innerwebbings for a decent commuter/ fun bike, I found a 1000cc V-Twin Honda I now proudly call Chicken Hawk. I've had my eye on this girl for a while and when the seller told me he already had a guy looking at it that same day, I told him, "Ah he won't buy. Call me later!!" And yesterday she became mine as I mounted her and rode her home. Torquey yet manageable, this bike will receive some chop treatment due to my obsessive desire to, well, chop. If you truly ride motorcycles, you would understand why I bought this bike. As for all you posers, wannabes and hipsters, may the ground swallow you up and devour you and your gay bike one store-bought piece at a time.
Anyway, my plans for this wannabe Ducati, if you will, include superbars, an R1 front end, half fairings from Airtech Streamlining and a new sub-frame and seat/tail section. It came with Yoshimura cans and I may cut those down a bit too. The gas tank will definitely get a new look to complement the lines I want instill in this project. But for now, I will put just miles and miles on it every chance I get.

Harley friends laugh at me for the CBR1100XX, and the Sportbike friends giggle at my Ironhead. Fuck off they both make me happy.
