This guy makes some interesting bikes. I'm kinda partial to "MotoGP", Chop Shop" and "Scrambler54". I love the single sided swingarm and virtually no visible tank. I believe that is his patented design on the swingarm. I dig where he is going.

Too many choppas...but the KTM bike is sick. [thumbsup]
i like "phyllis" ... i have no desire to ride a bike like that, and the name is horrible, but i love to look at it
with a few exceptions ... just more (beautifully executed) formula cr@p.
The "Vegas" reminds me of my first bicycle.
This is nice work, but I, like many moto enthusiasts, am kind of suffering chopper fatigue. I wish we could go back in time and substitute every OCC-inspired monstrosity with one of these. More machine, less bling.
"Slotard" [laugh] [laugh]
Yeah some of the flat out choppers don't do much for me, especially with those hard tails. That said, I really like those girder front ends. Very cool [thumbsup]

The Jaden is bad ass.
I am so burned out on custom choppers. His stuff is interesting and I think I should like it, but after all the American Chopper and Biker Build-Off I couldn't care less.
I dig his bikes. If I had the jingle, I'd own one. 8)

I agree, all these so called choppers look the same and every time I pass one of these guys on the road and I see their asses pouncing the potholes I can't help but think that their ass is numb and their hemorroids are about to burst. I've riden a hardtail ONCE never again! I rather walk.
Nothing says "MotoGP" like this...

It's all very well done. Really slick and clean.
And bores the shit outta me...
More choppas? There's always room for one more. Seriously though, some of his frame designs and front ends are unique in their own way. Some of the choppers look like a cross between the old converted Schwinn bikes and bobbers. Kinda nostalgic. I've ridden a few custom choppers, and I'm glad I did before I bought one, because they ride like shit. But they do look nice. ;)

I like most anything with 2 wheels. I love motorcycles, mountain bikes, and road bikes. I've got a small fortune invested in each.
I like Chica's stuff as well. I would never buy one of these as my everyday ride, I think the monster will have that covered for a while, but if I had the ching to have a quiver of bikes then I would be all over a Chica, Rooke, Sands and just for giggles and maybe getting it on TV .... a Paul Jr. Design Monster'ish street fighter, just to see what he comes up with. Say what you will it would be cool to have your bike built on TV.
Slotard is fantastic!!! That's some out-of-the-box thinking there, brilliantly executed.
Chica has always been my favorite of the HD builders.
I love how small his Rumbler bike looks.
