A few days ago I was supposed to do another one of those rough photo shoots, ya know the kind that involves a beautiful girl and a killer bike? Sadly, our next Girl of Motocross.com is home sick with something nasty, so we were forced to reschedule for a later date. But then I thought about it, and I figured there was no reason I couldn’t do a shoot with the bike alone.

I don’t think there is anybody reading this that won’t admit to sitting in their garage late at night, and just staring at their bike for way too long once or twice in our life, at least that is what our wives or girlfriends think. The bike we got for this shoot is an ‘09 Honda CRF450 all pimped out by Dano at DVS, and we wanted to shoot it before it was ridden and possibly scratched or bent.

It also has one of the very few FMF systems on it that has hit the market to date. Also, make sure to notice the house in the background that we found. This guy has turned this place into a castle, and the gargoyles never come down. We thought it was the perfect backdrop for Halloween! Let us know what you think about this bike. I wish I could tell you how it rides, as I was invited to go to the track with it later that day, but I get to stay home and be Mr. Mom.

Oh the things we give up for our children!

What do you think of Dano’s new ride? Are there any other aftermarket goodies that this thing can’t live without?
