2003 was definitely the year of the "pre-fab" chop. Nothing wrong with these, mind you. Some of these guys like American Ironhorse, BMC, Big Dog and a host of others really turn out some killer scoots. And hey, they're getting almost affordable (dunno if you're idea of affordable is 25 grand or so...). Being as they're produced in limited numbers they retain a fair amount of uniqueness. I'd rather spend my day looking at these than the motor companies line up of rubber-mounted sportsters (really!) - but I guess I'll always be a fan of the greasy one-off bike built by hand by the owner. Bottom picture features Trash pointing out high-visibility safety devices of unknown origin. Rumor has it these strange items "blink" as rider "turns". It's a bizarre world all right.
