4 жыл бұрынTake a trip down Whittier Blvd (Hwy 72) in Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles. The guys from Laidlaw's Harley-Davidson take a close look at the origin of the Vicla, a Latino influenced style that originated from East LA.

This is Harley!!! You can not find this with other motorcycles manufacturers. 120 hp?? Who cares when you are cruising on boulevard, 88, 96, 103, do you need more?? Not really. My very first comment in years of being watching youtube videos is to congratulate you Matt, an awesome video.

Grew up around this style of bike in TX. I love 'em. The effort that goes into building this style of bike is crazy. You can only really appreciate them when you get up close and see how each fine detail was covered when considering what parts to upgrade. I've seen some of the best custom paint schemes on these bikes.
