The Motorcycle That Shouldn't Exist - An American Superbike

[@davidspringer6883]

WOW! There is nothing else I can say. Thank you for your service, albeit applicable doesn't seem enough for what you have given and achieved. You embody what this country used to be built on. Hopefully, your story will reawaken and refocus what used to be known as the American Dream. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Ive been riding since I was a kid, over 50 years. I putt these days on a Harley Street Glide having given up the fast times on several Japanese bikes. As close as I ever came to building one was contracting with Russ Collins at RC Engineering in 1973. Byran Hines building 833 firebreathing Hondas with twin Weber 45 sidedrafts with an ARD magneto for electrics. Shaved the alternator as it only needed to keep the lights on. I hired a frame guy, bought Hallcraft wheels, designed a tank etc. basically assembled parts I picked from various manufacturers. When I saw what you did my jaw hit the ground!!! The bike you built is a museum piece compared to anything available at any price. Listening to the constant whining today from pretend "victims" , your story should be a master class and or at least required for everyone to kickstart what drive and desire can achieve. Just do it takes sacrifice as well as blood sweat and years. I am a fan. Would love to simply see the bike born from your mind in person.

Good for you dude!!!

“Fuck your circumstances. If you don’t like them, change them.” Love that attitude. Too many people expect someone else to change it for them, and wallow in self pity because of that for the majority of their life.

[@johnwolf1475]

seriously that kool aid will kill u- its only half of the story-- even less if u survive the conditions meant for that stupid talk--- dare u change the circumstance your gunny set vs your guy that has u prisoner--- get off the kool aid and think--- the trick is-- you aint paid to think-- but those who do-- become the best generals look at all the idiot responses- cannon fodder- semper fi

I would like for you to tell that to the kids in the projects that have no money to eat or even dress themselves, to change their circumstances that are delt to them by the system that is designed to oppress them. Many people don't have the opportunities that this individual had. So stop judging people

[@Andrewlang90]

@@flaviutomuta2083 Who’s judging?

[@ashley-tm1uk]

i wouldn’t expect someone ( an American veteran ) to start a motorcycle company that would so handily top confederate cycles at first shot, but it appears you have…this bike seems to hit all of the buttons for me…all built with incredible integrity and tenacity …love the spirit behind the company …you don’t need the flowery, high brow jargon to promote this bike …it speaks clearly for itself… Hats off to you brother!

[@grampageorge3407]

Nice! As a 71 year old Vietnam vet,I love what you have done.I still ride my Indian Scout whenever I can.I dont ride as much as I used to,but I wont stop until I cant anymore.Again good job.

[@tannerperkins7848]

Incredible film, this made my day, I hope to see his company as successful as Origin.

Awesome guy! He lives the dream. Guess he worked for Confederate before and stays with the looks. But he Power his dreambike with an Indian engine, not S&S anymore. RESPECT to this man.

Looks amazing. I wish every success in the world to Tony and his Motorcycle company.

[@IanRI1911]

I'd love it if you guys started making motorcycle gear. Jackets, gloves etc.

[@firmfoundation7421]

Thanks for reminding us all that we are responsible for our own attitude in life. Respect from NZ. The bike is fantastic. I ride a new Triumph Rocket 3 which is ridiculous bike. My wife agrees that a man needs something edgy to express that male instinct and a bike provides a form of solace. It does give me physical joy and happiness knowing I have that option.

[@SquireSCA]

Very cool story and amazing looking bike. One point though, is that 190mph on a dyno doesn't mean much... Wind resistance is massive and the faster you go, the more the wind pushes back. If its got the power, 150 might but achievable but it won't be fun without a fairing. Anything over 140 on a naked bike is NOT fun... haha

[@obrienoutpost560]

Good reminder to not take freedoms for granted! Thanks for sharing this great story!

[@theamericansgarage9087]

Love his attitude, makes me want to write him a check. Sick looking bike too. There is an iconic look here that could scale up into an American motorcycle brand with an ADV, cruiser, sport, and superbike.

[@gregwaugh8069]

That video had about 37 different stories running through it. 😀😀😀 Awesome on every level. And the color grading is fantastic.

[@killacoiler1707]

I am thankful for this video because its message is real. Too many times people sit and wallow in self pity and whine about where they are in their lives; Mr. Audette points out what so many are missing and that is if you do not like your current state then get off your ass and change it. I have spent seven years studying criminal justice with a focus on Forensic Psychology which requires taking all the same psychology courses necessary to become a therapist, and although I am not licensed as a therapist, I talk with many people out in my community, on the job, and in my social circle telling them, "the only things that can defeat you are the ones you allow to defeat you." Secondly, the only things that are impossible are the ones you have convinced yourself you are incapable of achieving. As a father, grandfather, and great grandfather I have seen and experienced a great deal in my 50 years on this planet, and the advice or wisdom if you will, that I have offered to my family and friends is that there are only two things that are predetermined aspects to life, A: you are born, Z: you will die; what happens between those two points all depends on the choices, risks, and energy we are willing to make, take, and apply towards achieving our dreams and goals. Maybe I didn't sum it up as easily as he did but there is no greater truth than, "if you do not like your circumstances then change them." The charge has always been yours and the only obstacle in your way is you. I wish Mr. Audette nothing but success in his venture. You have a very positive outlook and your perspective, message, and energy are inspirational and have infectious potential if shared widely. Thank you for sharing and I will be sharing this video to help spread your story and positivity.

[@jimmyamour9111]

Fantastic !!!! If you need inspiration this is it...

[@Ragnar-V]

That was truly amazing. This is what our country needs right now more than ever. Drive to be what we were meant to be. Every American has that capability and needs to not forget it.

[@mikecolesvids]

Great story, love the laser focus, commitment, and execution. Fantastic looking machine and exactly what I dream about having in my garage. Good job and thanks for sharing!

[@daniellerola6637]

How is this at 95k views and less than 400 likes? Fantastic video, love seeing you guys supporting what you preach. American made and the best quality in the world.

[@StefanCCCC]

Maybe because he pushes, "I killed people in their homelands for american corporate interests" a bit too much.

[@russellcollier1599]

Thank you for the inspiration. I love the attitude. Thank you for your service.

[@davidspringer6883]

sorry but have to add a note: read all the current comments, especially the ones challanging your" best bike in the world" claim, duh... to have a dream and sacrifice everything to achieve it can yield nothing less than the best bike in the world...for you. When your line of Audette gear is available let me know. Best story in the world, just say'n...

[@randallparker8116]

Street fighter design. 135hp? Maybe do a V-4 for us insane riders. I would go for a 220hp street fighter! But I race on the Salt Flats during Speed Week. I would need a back rest though for any distance at all. Gets to fatiguing without it. Is the suspension good enough to drag a knee? Intriguing and unique. I might want to try one out. Consider bringing one to Speed Week and enter it in Modified -Gas so you don't need the aero of a fairing and see how it does. Pretty Cool!

Im so happy for this guy following his dreams and building a high performance motorcycle from scratch. I have restored a few bikes and it’s not easy. So hats off to him but that motorcycle is so ugly the Proportions just aren’t there for me. Bikes that just end at the seat like that just don’t look good.

[@norman1907]

Bikes are already pushing the limits of how to keep the center of gravity low. The limits of what rubber can tame. The limits of what torque a chain can handle. The limits of aerodynamics vs the engine breathing. Im really interested in how much sacrifice the rider makes to extract the extra performance, being that their goal was zero compromise. Is it like going from a 600cc crotch rocket to a 1000cc? and you go through a short period of fear youve made a mistake before you grow into it? Or is it like a heavy harley in a buell package with more power that just feels natural. The labour is worth the cost, but if it really doesn't compromise; the value justifies the cost.

[@bayouboy8644]

Blessing and God's speed to you in all you do. Amazing accomplishment right there.

[@rodx5571]

Not sure if this was mentioned or not, didnt watch the whole thing. the base engine is an Indian (polaris) Thunder 111. I presume its heavily modified. Not a bad engine to start with.

[@rfw700]

That is the motorcycle that Harley Davidson should have built. A thing of beauty. Good luck in your pursuit of excellence. Although too my mind you have reached it.

[@jasonp1177]

Glad it's got a Indian power train, they give you the best bang for the buck as a platform and this guy killed it with his completely custom builds. HD is to stuck on cult mentality following instead of passion for innovation and 2 wheels.

Cool custom build and I can’t knock the self belief but I respectfully doubt this is comparable to the best manufactured bikes. Let alone the best. All for custom builds (I build myself) but it’s sheer lunacy (or delusional) to claim to build the best bike in the world. Starting with a heavy twin for starters 🤷‍♂️ that said would love a go 😊 Respect to all Vets. 👊
