With the right paint it would look good. The pepto pink makes me a little sick. Why people put rediculous paint jobs like that on anything puzzles me.

Interesting. First chop I've seen without the god-awful ugly oil cooler hanging out there. Paint is debatable but I'd love to see some more pix of the other details. Where was this displayed?

It's on display at Great American Chopper in Clawson, MI. He asked if we wanted to display it in our show room too... Haven't decided yet.

I just went to the gallery, clicked on the thumbnail, right-clicked and copied the image location. Didn't have any trouble at all.

that guy kristen kromosexual is lame, that bike is lame, and everything he's ever done is lame. Just look at his website. I think he spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than he does working on his bikes.

He's a pretty boy, there's no doubt about that. I'd still like to see where he tucked that oil cooler.

I read an interview with him in one of the bike mags. His take on what what happened was far different from what we saw on the show. He said the producer (which is a bit of a tool in my opinion anyways) was trying to orchestrate drama, and that the entire show is not what he (and us) was led to believe. He said there was much more to the argument that didn't get aired. The producer apparently took clips out of context, and left out other conversations to make him look like he was at fault for the entire disagreement. That's his side of the story anyway....

Ok... I guess we are talking about Jesse Rooke now. Everytime I have seen him on tv in anything he comes across as a spoiled little whiney boy.
BTW... the pink bike is not bad. Looks like it would fit a girl pretty good. Just wish either the backbone was lower or the bottom of the tank was lower to fill up that empty space. That seems to be the biggest problem with using a P-Twin in customs, custom builders seem to use the same frame and tank as they would for taller/longer v-twin.

I just looked at Rooke's site. That Slotard looks like fun! Supercharged yet! My license would last about a week. But what a week.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
