Bourget Cobra

 Bourget Cobra


Bourget's Bike Works produces fewer than 600 motorcycles a year, and some collectors can't get enough. Enthusiast Mark Meeberg owns 18 custom-made Bourget's, and his collection is valued at more than $1 million. Meeberg, who made his fortune as the owner of a commercial reconstruction business, speaks of the "freedom" he feels while riding. On his $135,000 Cobra, every piece of metal is streamlined to the machine so there is not a straight line on the bike, and that union of form and function takes his mind off everything else. "I have a real high-stress business, but when I get the chance to get on a bike for 15 minutes, to smell the fresh air and see the horizon, all is better."
