The Bike That Shouldn’t Be: Mel’s ‘98 Pro Street
Story by MetalMan

This bike shouldn’t exist.  Why?  Well, if it wasn’t for the scum who stole his previous ride, Mel wouldn’t have needed to build this one.

A couple years ago, Mel was down in Daytona when his previous bike disappeared.  It took months for the insurance company to settle up, but when they did, Mel and his dad, who’s been building Harleys for years, went to work on a replacement.  Here are the results.
