General:
To honor those who served and those who served, Predator II serves
to remind us that "All Gave Some and Some Gave All." Test to accompany
the photos: PREDATOR II: Dan "Bake" Baker had this creation in
mind when he cleaned the irrigation ditches at his family's farm
in Helper, Utah prior to serving several tours of duty in Viet
Nam. In 1997 Dan turned his custom Harley concept into reality
when he used his 1993 Softail Springer to build the original "Predator"
and walked off with the gold at the Spring '98 Autorama's Harley
Review. In 1998 the idea of Predator II cam to mind and "Bake"
once again got busy developing the current version of his highly
customized Springer. In three shows, Bake's Predator and Predator
II took first place, second place and Best of Show hardware. Not
bad for a good old boy from Utah's coal country!
