MANY OF THE students at Hawkins would say that Percy Thorn was a pretty good choice of boyfriend. He was a very tall, slightly lanky yet strong art student with a charming personality, a dazzling smile, and a 1984 Harley Davidson FXRT. Yes, he was quite a choice.
He was also an incredible egomaniac.
For the past week and a half, Percy Thorn had not once left you alone if he could help it. Lunch times, he was there. Art class, he was there. Maths and English, he was there. He was like carbon dioxide: always there, yet never wanted.
Well, this past couple of days, he’d gone above and beyond in trying his best to ‘get you’. He’d tried the flirting, leaning against inanimate objects (and animate objects, such as poor Joseph with the glasses), pick up lines, asking his friends to ask you out for him. Nothing seemed to work. So, he tried the next option.
Touching.
First, it was an arm around your shoulders. Then pats on the head. Then a hand grab. But today, he’d been rather bold, going as far as to place a hand on your thigh. When he did that, you blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
“I have a boyfriend.”
Oh, boy. You had just told Percy Thorn that you had a boyfriend. That did not exist. That was nowhere to be found. That currently had his residential address set in Narnia. You had to find a boyfriend, stat.
When lunch rolled around, you burst into the cafeteria wide-eyed, panicked, and panting. Your eyes then landed on one set person that could quite possibly guarantee your safety from Mr.-let-me-lick-my-lips-and-hope-I-look-sexy.
You beelined for the table he was currently sitting at, taking the empty seat next to him, smoothing out your skirt.
“I’m really sorry, but I need a boyfriend.”
The man blinked once, twice, gaping like a fish. He opened and closed his mouth a couple of times before blurting, “I beggest thou pardon?”
It was probably the stupidest thing Eddie Munson could have said. But he was discussing Hellfire, and he was speaking in old English, and then he remembered he had a Shakespeare assignment due tomorrow, and the dominoes just kept falling.
Eddie had never thought that someone such as yourself, a rather ethereal being that was currently spending her angelic time at a school such as this, could ever taint her reputation by breathing the same air as him, never mind sitting next to him. He was a little taken aback, evidently.
Gareth, who was sitting opposite him, merely dropped his head rather heavily on the table, banging it a couple of times before sighing. Jeff merely pat him a few times on the back, muttering “I know, dude, I know” to the poor boy. You and Eddie both watched this with rather similar facial expressions, allowing Eddie time to process what you’d just said.
“I’m so sorry,” he backtracked. “I meant to say... what?”
“Percy Thorn won’t leave me alone, and I told him I had a boyfriend, and he didn’t believe, me, and he won’t believe me until I show him, and I know that you’re a kind of freak, no offence, but if you pretended to date me, he’d probably get the message and leave me alone because he would never try to mess with you, what with you being the devil’s spawn or something, I don’t know, but I suppose the basic gist of this is, can you please pretend to be my boyfriend so he can stop touching me?”
How you managed to say that in one breath was rather impressive, Eddie had to admit. He also had to admit that he was, in fact, not listening until you mentioned touching. His eyes narrowed when he heard that and he pursed his lips.
See, he had his own little problem. Someone had seen Chrissy and him talking at one point in time, and now they had spread the rumour that the two were know a thing, meaning that Chrissy’s anxiety had skyrocketed when people whispered, and Eddie was getting into a lot more fights than he was before the rumours began. He’d only just had a black eye fade, and already had a threat for another one. If he wasn’t careful, he was going to go blind.
“Pissing off Percy Thorn, huh?” he murmured thoughtfully. “Hmmmm...”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake, dude, take the deal,” Gareth hissed, not lifting his head from the table.
“Sure, why not?” the metalhead smirked, and you nearly fell backwards from relief.
“Okay,” you breathed, ready to cry. “Thank you, thank you, thank you...”
“Hey, it’s okay, sweetheart, relax.” He raised a hand to your waist, halting and asking permission with his eyes. At your soft smile and small nod, he wrapped an arm around your lower back, peeking two fingers underneath your ABBA themed baby tee. You shivered at the cool temperature of his silver rings, and were quite flustered at the heat of his skin. It was a rather beautiful contrast.
You were a rather physically affectionate person, and were rarely uncomfortable with touch unless someone else was. But this was an Eddie-initiated thing, so you leaned into his side, placing your head just below his collarbone. His hair smelt nice, and it was gorgeously soft. He had great curls.
“Wow, your hair is like, ridiculously nice,” you muttered. He chuckled.
“Thanks, doll. It’s my three-in-one shampoo,” he joked. You cracked a small smile at that, it dropping as soon as you heard footsteps and turned to see the douchebag himself strutting over.
“Well, well, well.” Percy Thorn also had a very silky voice. He could’ve been a voice actor. “We find ourselves in a predicament at the moment.”
Gareth lifted his head from the table, his eyes slits as he glared through his own brunette curls at the leather-clad artist. “And what would that be, o mighty one?”
Percy turned up his lips, looking Gareth up and down, turning back to Eddie. “The devil’s spawn has his hands on my girl.”
Eddie raised his lips in a sarcastic grin, cocking his head. “Last I checked, she was my girl.” Eddie tightened his arm to sell the point, and you raised your hand to his, lacing your fingers. You really wanted to vomit when Percy said ‘his girl’.
Percy scoffed. “Oh, please. No one would be caught dead sharing your seat on the bus, let alone allowing themselves to be called your girl.”
“Yeah, well, the reason she is my girl is because we shared a seat on the bus, so I guess luck was on my side.”
Damn, Eddie was good at lying. You smirked a little at the little made up story. You nuzzled into his neck a little, grabbing his attention.
“I have to go. Mrs. Craig won’t handle tardiness from anyone, not for the sake of algebra.” You swung your legs over the seat, hand still interlaced. He did the same, only with one leg. He pressed his lips to your knuckles, delighting in Percy’s absolute look of fury.
“I shall see you soon, my heavenly rose,” he bade farewell, sounding like one of the characters from the play he was meant to be analysing, Twelfth Night. You giggled a little. Even though you were only pretending, Eddie was rather funny.
“I await the chance, fair knight,” you returned, curtseying rather clumsily. He smiled back at you. You were quite pretty when you smiled.
You began to walk away, avoiding Percy’s look of rage when you passed. You couldn’t walk very far however, when you gasped, stopping in your tracks. Tears appeared in your eyes.
Percy smirked, the spot where he’d slapped your butt still tingling. You’d never wear this skirt in public again. Your hand flew to the spot, trying to stop something, anything, everything from happening all at once. You spun around, hunched over a little as you kept your legs together, as though you were a cowering puppy.
Eddie’s smile faded, replaced with a rather scathing look. The look of fear, no, distress that was on your face had him reeling. He grabbed the nearest thing, which was his lunch tray, shot up, flung his arms back, and brought the tray right on Percy’s ear.
The art student crumbled like a sack of potatoes, yelling as he clutched his ear. Eddie stood in front of you protectively, lunch tray still clutched rather tightly in his hand.
“You bastard.”
“Mr. Munson!” The whole cafeteria swung from looking at Eddie to looking at the teacher that had just shouted. “Principal’s office! Now!”
The brunette sighed, dropping the tray. Gareth sputtered.
“Wha- but Percy literally just assaulted her!”
“You too!” She didn’t even know his last name.
“That’s not fair.” You were trying to help, but it was hard when you were trying not to burst into tears.
“You know what? Life’s not fair. All three of you, go!” She pointed in the direction of the principal’s office Percy’s friends rushed to help their fallen mate.
Eddie stuck close to you the whole walk to the principal’s office. “Welp, that was an eventful relationship.” He tried joking, but it didn’t crack a smile this time.
“I’m sorry,” you said. “I got you both in trouble.”
“Nah,” Gareth waved his hand, dismissing you. “It was worth it. Seeing Thorn fold like that was funny. Plus,” he wiggled his eyebrows, “Eddie’s got a girlfriend.”
“Pretend girlfriend.” Eddie cleared his throat turning a little red. Gareth shrugged and walked a bit in front of them. The metalhead turned to you, sheepishly running his hand on the back of his neck. “Sorry about him, and that whole tray smack thing.”
“It’s okay, for both things.” You said quietly. “But, uh, you wouldn’t mind being my pretend boyfriend for a little longer, would you? I’m a little paranoid now.”
“Well, we can’t have that, can we?” Eddie grinned like the cheshire cat. “How about I drop you home to solidify the story?”
You smiled at that. “I’d really love that.”
Besides, he could use your help on that assignment.

Custom Chrome Europe - 'Bolt On And Ride' program négy év kihagyás után újraindul
A Custom Chrome Europe 2023-ban ünnepelte 25 éves fennállását. Ez idő alatt, és a széles körben elterjedt "kit bike" jelenségből született, amely az 1990-es évek közepétől söpört végig az alkatrész- és tartozékgyártó közösségen, a CCE "Bolt On And Ride" koncepciója (2009-2020) mindig is egy "megfontoltabb" és "meggyőzőbb" ajánlat volt. Ezek nem komplett építmények voltak, hanem vezető európai custom bike-építők által tervezett egyedi építmények válogatása.
A "Bolt On And Ride" koncepció azonnal népszerű volt, mivel könnyű hozzáférést biztosított a motorosok számára, hogy élvezhessék és megoszthassák az európai piac számos vezető customizerének tervezési ötleteit.
Így hát négy évvel előbbre ugrottunk, és a németországi Bad Salzuflenben 2023 decemberében megrendezett Custombike Show-n (majd 2024 januárjában az olaszországi Veronában megrendezett Motor Bike Expo kiállításon) a Custom Chrome Europe ismét belevetette magát ezekbe a vizekbe, és újra piacra dobta a koncepció teljesen új változatát.
2024-ben a Rick's Motorcycles 30 éves fennállását ünnepli - és ez a radikális "Clubstyle" "Bolt On And Ride" motor egy újabb "Clubstyle" témájú radikális motor, Rick saját FXRT/RP burkolatával, vadonatúj és szuperszilárd kormánykiemelőkkel és kormánykiflivel, valamint számos új Rick's alkatrésszel, amelyek újak a Custom Chrome Europe katalógusban.
A bemutatókon a német Rick's Motorcycles, a Bike Farm Melle és a Thunderbike korábbi világbajnok custom bike-építők három formatervét és platformját, a CCE legújabb custom alkatrészeit, a Rick's Motorcycles FXRT stílusú, M-8 Softailshoz készült burkolatát és számos új Rick's "Clubstyle" alkatrészt mutattak be, amelyeket a Low Rider ST-n mutattak be. Rick korábbi hozzájárulása a BOAR programhoz a 'Black Bob' (2013) és a 'Moccarica' (2018) volt.
A Thunderbike korábban nem kevesebb, mint kilenc BOAR custom-t épített, a 2009-es első Street Bobtól és Fat Boy-tól kezdve a CCE "Custom Chrome 50th Anniversary" tiszteletére 2020 januárjában. A Bike Farm Melle-nek egy korábbi dizájnja volt a BOAR programban - a "Fisherman's Chop" 2014-ből.
A Bike Farm Melle, Indian Melle néven egy 2023-as Indian Scout "Bobber"-t alakított át, amely TTS "Fat Spoke" kerekeken gurul és V-Performance kipufogórendszert kapott.
Az Indian Melle néven is megalapított Bike Farm Melle egy 2023-as Indian Scout Bobber alapváltozatát módosította egy "Bobber szellemű" Scoutra, TTS "fat spoke" kerekeken (Németország) gurulva, V-Performance kipufogórendszerrel (Olaszország), Ness lábtartókkal és CultWerk (Ausztria) első és hátsó sárvédővel, hogy "felbobozza" az alap Scout Bobbert.
2024-ben a Rick's Motorcycles 30 éves fennállását ünnepli - és ez a radikális "Clubstyle" "Bolt On And Ride" motor egy újabb "Clubstyle" témájú radikális motoros, Rick saját FXRT/RP burkolatával, vadonatúj és szuperszilárd riserekkel és triplafákkal, valamint számos új Rick's alkatrésszel, amelyek újak a Custom Chrome Europe katalógusában.
A Custom Chrome Europe partnere, a Thunderbike, amely 2009-ben az első két "hivatalos" Bolt On And Ride" kerékpár alkotója is volt, egy 2023-as modellévű "Fat Boy" modellt alakította át, számos vadonatúj Thunderbike és Performance Machine alkatrésszel.
A Tunderbike egy szupertiszta 2023-as Fat Boy-t készített, számos vadonatúj Thunderbike és Performance Machine alkatrésszel, többek között PM M-8 cam és rockerbox borítással, valamint Fred Kodlin szuper kövér kormányával. A Thunderbike légrugózást, légszűrőt, egy hátsó rész átalakítását és számos részletet és borítást adott hozzá, így egy nagyszerű "könyvtámasz" lett a hasonló Fat Boy és Street Bob vámpírokhoz, amelyekkel 15 évvel ezelőtt elindították a "Bolt On And Ride" programot.
A Rick's Motorcycles kiváló "Clubstyle" értelmezése a Low Rider egy "Clubstyle" tematikájú radikális, tele a már népszerű új alkatrészekkel és kiegészítőkkel, amelyek előfutáraként szolgálnak a 2024-es ünnepségnek, amelynek során 30 éves fennállását ünnepli Európa egyik vezető custom motorkerékpár-piacvezetőjeként.

Ignacio Sáenz Valiente da el salto a una moto del segmento premium
La exclusiva serie Icons Collection de Harley –Davidson sumó el modelo Low Rider EL Diablo a una edición especial de sólo 1500 unidades de lujo. Exclusiva propuesta para coleccionistas de la gama sport-touring.
El precio de la Low Rider EL Diablo asusta pero no hay que dejarse intimidar por la friolera de 32.600 U$s. Una joya de edición limitada salió al ruedo en busca de nuevos fanáticos de los modelos de colección. Una verdadera oportunidad para adquirir una moto que podría convertirse con el paso del tiempo en una jugosa inversión.
Ciertamente, la cifra que se baraja en el mercado es más picante que la de la Harley Davidson Low Rider (24.600 U$s ) o de la más básica Harley-Davidson Low Rider S ( 23.000 U$s ) pero vale la pena la inversión.
Todo lo que necesitas saber de la Low Rider El Diablo.
Nacida para ser un verdadero modelo de lujo para los amantes de los ejemplares de colección, la Harley-Davidson Low Rider El Diablo, es parte de una selecta edición limitada que conforma el segmento de lujo de las Icons Collection. Exclusivas motos, tal como su nombre lo indica, se trata de un modelo que pretende ser icónico, ya que nació de la inspiración en uno de modelos míticos de la marca y hoy, en esta edición revival, los futuros propietarios de alguna de las 1500 unidades disponibles, se harán acreedores de un modelo que a futuro puede ver multiplicado su valor.
En su estructura, el diseño exterior ha tomado como base la Harley-Davidson Low Ride ST, una moto para salir a las rutas con estilo. Dueña de un gran rendimiento y versatilidad, esta sport-touring, viene preparada para salir al ruedo con glam. Está provista de un equipamiento único -explica Ignacio Sáenz Valiente -, con maletas laterales rígidas, un carenado anclado directamente al chasis con una parte ciclo a la altura y el poderío del motor V-Twin Milwaukee-Eight 117 de 1920 cc más un motor de 169,5 Nm a 3500 rpm.
Pero, los detalles son los que hacen de la Harley-Davidson Low Rider una moto fuera de serie.El Diablo se destaca por un diseño de los esquemas de pintura único, que rinde homenaje a la Harley-Davidson FXRT de 1983 y al estilo custom de la costa Oeste americana y el sur de California. Este trabajo fue realizado con la asesoría de la reconocida firma ‘Gunslinger Custom Paint’ (Golden, Colorado), con expertos que hacen las pinturas de las ediciones especiales de las mejores marcas.
El color que luce la Row Rider El Diablo presenta una base roja denominada El Diablo Bright Red y una segunda capa de Bright Red Sunglo. Luego, aparecen unos filetes rojos y se difumina una capa de El Diablo Dark Red y Dark Red Pearl siguiendo la forma de los paneles, lo cual le aporta un efecto de profundidad. Luego se aplica una capa de El Diablo Dark Red Metallic para envolver el color El Diablo Bright Red, con un efecto degradé para fundir los colores. Cuando se retira el enmascarado, el fileteado en color El Diablo Bright Red queda al descubierto en las maletas, los laterales del depósito, los guardabarros y el carenado. En este punto, los artistas de la pintura, aplican a mano un nuevo fileteado en un dorado Pale Gold dentro de los paneles de El Diablo Bright Red. El Diablo Bright Red Sunglo.
También, se aplican detalles en negro en la zona del motor, el tren delantero y el escape, los cuales hacen resaltar aún más el esquema de pintura. Las llantas Radiate de fundición de aluminio llevan un acabado de contraste en Matte Dark Bronze.
Una moto de volúmen endiablado
La Harley-Davidson Low Rider El Diablo propone un sistema de audio desarrollado por Harley-Davidson junto a Rockford Fosgate (opcional en la ST). Este equipo se integra al carenado y consta de un potente amplificador con tecnología de procesamiento digital de señales (DSP) diseñado para rendir al máximo. El sistema se puede conectar mediante Bluetooth a un dispositivo móvil para reproducir audio o vía streaming a través de un par de altavoces de doble vía integrados.
Las características más destacadas de este equipo de audio especial:
Los altavoces incluyen un par de woofers de 5,25” y dos tweeters remotos para un gran rendimiento de audio.
*Conectividad Bluetooth 4.2 con una mínima compresión para una excepcional calidad de sonido.
* Amplificador compacto de 250 vatios montado dentro del carenado.
* Conectividad con la app móvil Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate con funciones exclusivas como el control automático del volumen (AVC), que permite controlar el volumen a manos libres en función de la velocidad del vehículo, el ecualizador ajustable de 7 bandas, la actualización del firmware y un configurador del sistema paso a paso.
