Nothin' new here boys





Not bad given past sculptures
The big smackdown was in Vegas last night.
Quite a bit of design and thought went into Senior's bike.  Not quite my cup of tea but he redeemed himself in my book.
But people have been whittling away at big blocks of aluminum for quite some time now.

The Rail

 Now for the other bikes, to stereotype-

Junior builds a damn close Arlen Ness bike

Sans the sweet blower and drag slick

Gas Monkey - shit.. I have seen 12 of those choppers at Davenport every year.   Nicely done, but nothing to show off with. 
Much respect for riding it to Vegas.

  2. I know they didn't get alot of footage since most of the bike was built after the deadline. Hoping to hear more, or at least see some more photos of the build.
