Local Motors<\/a>, makers of the rugged Rally Fighter, recently debuted their Las Vegas microfactory with a fantastic party during SEMA<\/a> week. Racing Junk was invited to partake in the festivities, celebrating an innovative, community-driven manufacturing facility focused on providing local transportation solutions.<\/p>\n

A selection of Local Motors\u2019 vehicles were on display, including the Rally Fighter, the all-electric Cruiser and the first example of the Racer, a Sportster based motorcycle built by the Del Prado brothers.<\/p>\n

And in an \u201conly in Las Vegas\u201d moment, one of the party guests surprised everyone when he purchased the Racer by handing over a backpack filled with $19,000 in cash. Then the new owner proceeded to treat everyone to the glorious sound of the custom bike with plenty of revs and a standing burnout.<\/p>\n
