After a dream I came up with an alternative concept bike for the dark knight I built the Big Kahuna. The idea is as the Tumbler was about to self destruct the Dark Knight would straddle the Big Kahuna and drive straight out the front end of the Tumbler. The front of the big kahuna is the front end of the Tumbler. So no twisting of wheels. Features (3) 22” wide tires, V Twin engine with automatic transmission and reverse. The chain is a triple chain used on an industrial rock crusher. The craziest part of this build is all the joints are milled to be slightly bigger that the pipe requiring the accepting pipe to be heated to allow the pipe to expand enough for the other pipe be slid in then rig welded. Because of this process there was no jig required and the frame is straight straight straight. Comes with a custom bed on a 2001 Isuzu NPR for the bike to transported and shown on.
I’m asking $95,000 for the Big Kahuna with the Isuzu transport. I will consider partial trades. Face to face transaction with local pick up in Northern California. Thanks for looking. BWD

| Thanks for the kind words. Another point is the front end of this bike is even stronger than the Rumber and so if someone wanted to build a replica Tumbler this front end and control arm panels would work perfectly I took the bike to two Easyrider custom motorcycle shows and it won both. So there’s that if you just like collecting trophies a person could just take it to motorcycle shows. Theres nothing really like it. I remember in LA a motorcycle was touting 13 1/2 wide rear wheel. The Big Kahuna has three wheels that are 22” wide. GAMEOVER!!! Makes the batpod I built look like a moped. BWD

Super cool! Couple of questions...
1. Does the girl come with it?
2. What does it mean "A tribute to Hawaiian warriors"?

slysnake (2/22/2020)Does the girl come with it?
I've heard that she's willing to go wherever it goes, but she gets to drive.
Really, that is an amazing creation. Completely unique.
The will to act.

I was just telling shaggy how I got the craziest double takes driving it around LA on the freeway. A CHP even pulled up and took a double take and just shook his head so I guess it’s not illegal to have her ride on it. When I got the maniquin and started cutting her up to put her in a prone position I got the strangest looks from nieghbors walking by lol
Oh the tribute to Hawaiian warriors referred to native hawaiians trying to get status as an native Americans . I was talking to a senator in Hawaii about building bike to bring attention to their plight. In my opinion they should be viewed as Native American like say the Navajos are here and have rights to lands and reparations. Much of their lands were taken by outsiders and much of the native Hawaiians are reduced to poverty and drugs. It’s a side we dint see much. It’s very sad. I found out about it when I turned down the wrong road in Oahu. Thanks for asking

I asked because my wife is native Hawaiian. So just wondered about that. That's why I am there every year for a few months.

| It’s a shame what happens to native Hawaiians there. The senator that was working on it ended up dying. Hawaii’s my favorite place but my wifey loves Europe so guess where go? Mahalo BWD
