Dave Bozzie is a second generation motor builder who makes quite a stir in the motorcycle world. From fast daily riders to unique land speed record bikes, Bozzie Performance Customs puts radical, performance and classic machines.
The double-Evo you see here is called “Wild Thing”. Wild thing was built in 2006 as a result of a couple of spare EVO motors lying around. The bike’s style pays homage to Dave’s father’s dual Knucklehead drag bike, “The Thing” which was built in 1955 and is still going today. However, Dave needed a reliable racing bike for the land speed record attempts—one that had plenty of power. Two motors, in this case, was the call.
The Wild Thing is currently one of the stars of Dave Bozzie’s racing team, Big Inch Racing, and frequents the El Mirage dry lake beds. Recently, Big Inch Racing ran this dresser at speeds around 145 MPH at the track, but was having shifting issues and Dave was not able to bring a record home.
His next stop is at Bonneville to run down the salt. Dave and Wild Thing will run in several different classes and with any luck and some decent racing conditions, Dave and the Big Inch Racing team will bring home good news in the illustrious form of a World record.
Sitting on Wild Thing lookin’ oh so sweet is LowLa. LowLa is the alter ego of Suhki, one of the AFT Customs Girls models. Suhki and the Bozzie family have become good friends and together they put out these HOT photos. Look for Bozzie Custom Performance at local shows and race tracks around the Sacramento area of California. Come by the booth and have this lil’ sweetheart sign a poster for you.
