"CHOPPER DAVE" [BY '6HELLBILLY6' ON POOTUBE] . . . . DEEP IN THE BOWELS OF THE GARAGE WHERE 'LOUD FAST RULES' . . . . A COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE MOST SERIOUSLY LANDMARK BIKES BUILT IN THE LAST DECADE . . . . DON'T BELIEVE ME, JUST COUNT EM . . . . ONE BAD BUNCH OF ICE COOL BIKES !!!

The most eye catching, and sorta sad, part of this look around the laboratory of a bloke who has spawned so many wicked scoots over the last ten years or so, is seeing the 'Lovely Loser' languishing in the corner, covered in a patina of dust and generally lookin kinda down in the dumps . . . . I recall when it was done reading the article in The Horse on it's build history, all the special, one off touches, the guys who helped out getting it done, the heritage of the components used, really special shit.

And, of course, the final visual appeal of the finished ride, if you've ever been into the mix of old school racer with a big injection of twisted engineering genius you would've dug that thing, even now I find myself going back through that issue of BSC and just staring at it . . . . real cool never goes out of style . . . . the fact this garage is also stuffed full with other of Dave's creations that have earned their place in modern chopper/bobber/tracker annals only makes this nice insight even more worthwhile watching . . . . for anyone unsure of just how long and how manically this ChopperDude has been involved in the 'industry' . . . . go and do some research, you'll be blown out, one devoted, passionate, crazy, clued in bloke with huge history and cred . . . . they may have forced him to hate but nobody forced him to get into bikes . . . . loud fast definitely rules !!!!
