It all started in Afghanistan…
Adam Lynch, USMC, headed to Brass Balls HQ in Oklahoma City, OK on May 11th to pick up his new custom-production Digger.
While there he joined the Smoke Out Long Road party that had just rolled in from Smoke Out West.
With the evening air filled with the Jasmine Cain Band’s rock and roll hitting like waves from the sea, Lynch shook down his new custom bike and declared it ready to rubble.
The journey to acquiring his new rigid bobber started back in Afghanistan where he was killing time by checking out magazines. The Brass Balls’ Bobber of the Year Award for their Classic Bobber caught his attention in V-Twin Magazine and after he got online the company’s Tattoo Digger hooked him.
Through email, the Brass Balls Bobbers online configuration page and a few calls, Lynch designed his own bike that is personalized to him.
“Not many people have the opportunity to get a bike built specifically for them,” explained Lynch. “I was able to do it while deployed and it is a thrill to see it, ride it and experience it.”
Lynch also mentioned that wherever he goes the wow factor is high. “When I stop at the light or fill up with gas everyone is straining their necks to see it,” said Lynch.
The Marine’s Digger Bobber is a rigid bike with a springer front end. The power train includes a S&S 96 inch mil, Baker Drivetrain, Tauer primary and D&D Performance Enterprises reverse megaphone 2 into 1 pipe.
The paint is derivative of the Tattoo Digger with swirl grind marks on the metal, which is clear coated with the hand painted Brass Balls logo done in a slight yellow cast. The bike sits on a race-inspired frame that is flexible enough to soak up the vibration and stiff enough to lay down the power.
“I enjoyed working with Adam on this build because the look on his face when we unveiled it was worth all the time and effort we put into getting it done,” said Dar Holdsworth, Brass Balls BossMan.
