T.W.O. - Russell Mitchell's Pure Sex Dragster

Thought that title would get your attention.

What can a bike builder - or rider for that matter - do to make his bike stand out amongst a sea of wild paint and chrome? How about Flat black paint and brushed aluminium!
Meet Russell Mitchell British Expat and his self-proclaimed "bastard child of the motorcycle industry" - Exile Cycles.
Although the flat black "Rat Bike" bobber is fairly common place now, it was an anomaly a decade or so ago when Exile was just entering the custom bike scene. But Russell Mitchell's styling is so much more than just flat black paint; it's hardcore industrial taken to an extreme: low slung, fat, not mean but definitely no-nonsense. And no-one on the other side of the Pond was putting clip-on handlebars on choppers until our Russ did it. His signature look has permeated through America's chopper industry and established him amongst their bike-building
The Pure Sex Dragster started out as a entrant for an episode of Biker Build-Off, but inundated Mitchell with so many queries from parties interested in buying one, he put it into production. You can buy them ready built or in kit form.

And you can't have a Pure Sex Dragster without appropriately dressed - ahem - riders...
