Amazing Hot Rod Video

 
This is absolutely one of the best videos I’ve ever come across on YouTube (thanks Chris). Yes, it’s about Hot Rods, and yes I love hot rods, but what really makes it amazing is the commentary by Eric Darby. The words he puts forth are geared towards the Hot Rod scene but they could easily […]

Holiday Break

Ok Chaps, updates for the next week or so are going to be sporadic at best. Holiday and family obligations take precedence and then I’m taking off for a few days next week. Everything will be back in full swing after New Years and the new site should be up before the end of January. […]

Club Chopper: Chopper of the Year Poll

Club Chopper is running a “Chopper of the Year” poll on their site right now, which is the culmination of their chopper of the month award. A bunch of great looking bikes in the running, including a number I’ve featured on this site. It’s a tough choice - My favorite 4 bikes of the bunch: […]

Don’t Need No Fancy Tools

I dig this on so many levels that it’s hard to pick one to focus on. The seat pan you see was fabbed up by White Trash over on chopperfix. Not only was this his first attempt at shaping metal, but he did it using ball peen hammer… in the mud. That’s right, the mud. […]

El Bolido Revisted

Last week I posted about the “El Bolido” bike that Bradley built. By all accounts the bike is a work of art, and I had a couple of folks email me telling me how much they liked it. Chris (vha27) has seen the bike in person and confirms all of that and even sent me […]

Obviously with the holidays coming up the amount of time I’ll be able to dedicate towards finishing the programming will be limited, but look for a release date of mid January […]

CFL Chopper

Here’s one built by Andy (ukchop on the board). For all you tech hounds, that’s a ‘99 Evo stuffed into a CFL frame and surrounded by all sorts of high end quality parts from West Coast Choppers, Exile Choppers, Paul Yaffe and a number of others. One of my favorite leather artists - Duane Ballaard […]

Straight outa Canada

Forum member kgdb posted pics of his righteous triumph scoot a while back, and it’s only right that I share them with those of you who are not part of our message board (sign up and join the party broham). This cherry trumpet is filled to the brim with bad-assery. Sick lines, super clean, those […]
