Editors Note: People send me all kindsa great and strange
pictures of the stuff they're working on and what they think makes up the perfect chopper.
I figured it was only fair to share this stuff with everybody. If you want us to publish a
pix of your project or finished scoot, send 'em HERE,
if you don't want 'em published, don't send 'em (duh...)

Irish
Rich sent me this great pic. Apparently his work has been seen
throughout Choppers Rule (check below). We're gonna get together and
shoot some more pix of the great scooters Rich builds - but ya know,
time wounds all heels. Rich, when ya read this, send me your new phone
number and we'll click off some pictures (we even have a posing babe
for this session!) |
