Giants fan shows off his awesome custom Harley at World Series Game 5

SAN FRANCISCO — A crowd had gathered near the Willie Mays statue outside AT&T Park in the hours before Sunday’s Game 5 of the World Series. They were snapping pictures with their phone, in awe of what they saw.

At the center of the crowd wasn’t Mays or any other famous baseball player. It was a guy named Donnie Robinson, sitting atop his awesome Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Robinson, who lives in San Francisco, has spent the last seven years morphing his Harley into his personal tribute to the Giants.

“This thing was done in ’07,” Robinson said. “Which was when Barry Bonds was hitting all the home runs.”

He’s referring to Bonds’ chase of Hank Aaron’s home-run record. Since then, Robinson has had a lot more Giants history to add.

“As they were winning World Series, we just started adding things,” Robinson said.

As it stands today, his Harley has paintings of Willie Mays, Willie McCovey and Kevin Mitchell. The handlebars are shaped like baseball bats. There’s orange and black everywhere. It’s been signed by Bonds, Tim Lincecum, Kevin Mitchell, Brian Wilson and ex-Giants manager Dusty Baker.

Now, the thousand-dollar question: How much has it cost to build this one-of-a-kind Giants chopper?

“Price is kind of endless,” Robinson said. “When you’re doing this sort of thing, you don’t ask price, you just tell ’em to do it.”

Sounds like he has no problem adding more should the Giants win a third World Series in five years.
