me and my dad have built one or two custom choppers. When he retires the two of us are going to take all year and build one or two twisted radical bikes to take to Daytona and sell at the end of the year.



Im really looking forward to owning one of my own someday. Never really ridden a "real" bike because all of his are reverse side shift. My crotch rocket is fun but sometimes u just wanna click it one up, and cruise to that deep rumble that only a chopper with a 1100CC engine can give you.

Of course, that's where the big money is.



My friend, whom used to be the best detailer in town, now buys and sells investment/collector classic auto's and has done very well at the Barrett Jackson the last 3 years; 210% return on each car in the show. He's been bugging me to go ever since, I guess now I'll have more a reason to attend.

200hp on a bike is low compared to some of the turbo'd bikes.

Tell that to 75% of the 3 million licensed hotrod owners worldwide today, maybe they will care as little as I do, or maybe you can build and bring yours to hot August nights and we can throw down there, or are you a *****?

If you want to be a mega-bucks rodder than GLASS is for you. I prefer the roots of rodding: Metal bodies, no billet parts, no mail order rods. Just like bikes: Where is the pride in bolting together a bunch of mail order parts? Anyone with a big-enough credit limit can do it or pay someone to do it. I am so tired of seeing all these KIT_RODS and CATOLOG BIKES it makes me puke!!!!!!!!!!!



I'd rather drive a rat-rod that looked like hell than be seen in some 20K+ KIT-ROD.
