Beginning with a stock, anniversary, silver Dyna, the process was launched to build a rowdy, tight-looking
factory bike, and Jim Waggaman succeeded with the rear fender, taillight, front fender, tank, and final finish. It
didn't miss a lick on the road to Sturgis in 1994, when he was escorted to the Badlands by a crowd of mad
Hamsters. Yep, they ride. The tradition of Kennedy 80-spoke stainless wheels and Custom Cycle Engineering
dogbone riser set it off. Performance by Bartels with shaved heads, Screamin' Eagle ignition, valve work, and
nasty-looking Bartels exhaust. Stopping by GMA.
When asked about the scoot that posed for the cover of Outlaw Justice (rendered by Eric Hermann), Bandit's
second book, all the drunken sonuvabitch could mutter was, "Me and Dr. Hamster rode 400 miles to Phoenix to
see our brother Myron in a solid downpour. Worse day of my life, but a nice ride." Then he passed out.
