While strolling around at Roscoe’s Chili Challenge, I ran across this slightly modified ‘58 HD Panhead.
WAYNE CARPENTER’S Panhead by Miserable George
I shot this one-of-a-kind Panhead chopper back in 1999 at beautiful Ballard Park in Melbourne, Fl.
It was built by Wayne Carpenter, of Southern V-Twin, in Melbourne, Fl. Sorry, but, I don’t have the specs, but as you can see, the paint, and all the work is absolutely flawless.
I have no idea where this machine is today, but, you can call Wayne, at Southern V-Twin…321-255-1600. He built an engine for me several years ago, and, it was perfect!!!

Harley-Davidson EL Knucklehead by Miserable George
The owner of this pristine machine…Dennis…has since passed away, and to be honest…I have no idea where the bike is today, but I came across these photos in my archives, and simply had to share this fine machine with our OSB friends. As I remember, we shot the bike at Wickham Park, in Melbourne, Fl. I have heard that this model can bring as much as $175,000, depending on condition….complete and un-restored. This one, of course, was completely restored, to be ridden. I’m hoping our readers will enjoy the photos…

Cool Old Pan by ValGal “What year is this?”
ValGal saw this beautiful old pan in a parking lot recently and grabbed these shots.
For those of you (like me) who bitch about the studio shots and the factory customs, you are gonna love this one. They can have all the shiny crap that they want. This is my dream bike.
Anyway, enjoy and remember that no matter how much somebody rubs a shiny new bike, Ain’t no genie gonna pop out!
