As a kid, Alan Beatty worked at one of the most historically well-known dirt racetracks in the world: Ascot Speedway. Now stop for a second and really imagine the thundering exhaust notes of two-wheeled racers blasting by you at breakneck speeds\u2014not to mention seeing these same racers in the pits with their handmade machines made to chase the glorious victory, putting it all on the line.
\nMinimally summed up, it\u2019s a look into what kind of impression it had on Alan when it came to building his first Sportster. \u201cThe whole theme of this bike was dirt-track related, Grand National style. Little bit of old school thrown in too. The first step was a frame.\u201d<\/p>\n

A basic Paughco rigid frame of simple dimensions was his choice, 30-degree rake and no stretch. Along with wheels and a front end, Alan was certain that it had the basic lines of the bike he had imagined.
\nNext, parts were slowly purchased online and at swap meets. \u201cI didn’t buy a bunch of parts and expect it to go together,\u201d Alan explains. \u201cA lot of thought went into this bike, especially the lines. The way the tank sits, the flow of it all\u2014I think attention to those details made a big difference. And having Brawny on my side, that was a big factor in how this bike turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n
