Motorcycle Burnout Jimmy Burnout’s Big-Wheel Stunt Bagger
Jimmy Burnout punishing rubber.
John Zamora
It’s not often you run across someone thrashing on their expensive parking-lot show-class motorcycles. Sure, quick rips up and down the boulevard or standstill burnouts are one thing, but to see a beauty queen being abused with stand-up wheelies, bar-lock-to-bar-lock burnouts in drifts of white smoke, is something completely different. When we heard that showman Jimmy “Burnouts” Cyphers was building a 26-inch wheel stunt bike called the “Slide Glide” we had to see exactly what the hell he was thinking!
Where did this bike originate?
After many years of abuse and torture to my 2007 Harley-Davidson Street Glide, and after shredding about 200 or more rear tires, I decided it was time for a makeover. The bike had taken a few spills over the years and was looking and feeling worn out.
When it’s not setting off smoke alarms, this Street Glide looks hot just sitting there.

But a big-wheel stunt bike?
I had already converted the bike to a big wheel a few years back, and today the big-wheel Harleys don’t get too much love from the performance side of the industry. I myself am a huge fan of performance, so I wanted to put together a bike that combined the two worlds.
But it doesn’t look like a typical beat-up stunt bike.
I wanted a bike that looks like a complete show bike, that can be taken to the track and raced, throw it into some canyon twisties, drag a burnout all the way down the block, or 12 o’clock wheelie. That is how the Slide Glide came to be.
How did you plan to do all that with a single bike?
This was my first attempt at building a bike. Right now the “performance bagger” is the hot thing. I see some amazing, well-put-together machines with all the right stuff but yet to see anyone “perform” on the bike. I wanted to change that.
So how does it perform?
The Slide Glide was built to handle any abuse I throw at it. She performs like a racebike but looks like a trailer queen.
Burnout Garage killed it with this custom bagger!
