I try to catch the show periodically. I don't currently have a ride, but have had several throughout the years and also built two of my own from scratch. Not the type of High $$ choppers they build. More what would be considered "Old School". Last one I built came out pretty sweet though. Paugo rigid frame, 1980 Shovelhead bored to 103 c.i., open primary belt drive, FX Wide Glide front end raked out a bit. This bike would beat most of the guys with the $30,000 customs. And guess who's bike they all milled around when at bars or gatherings? Yup. Too many of the high end customs and they start to all get a little whitewashed like a stock bike. I think you'll see a return to a somewhat more traditional "Old School" chopper look soon.
I think that "Trim Spa" bike that Paul Jr. put together was the best looking bike he's made so far.
Good show though.
