I find bikes like the Rickman kind of depressing. What a waste to just keep that bike in a showroom and never use it the way the builder intended.

Agreed, bikes are for riding.

That's Kayjon's collection of Denver's choppers. Seriously big, BIG, BIG money!!!

Actually the trickest CB750 cafe I (briefly) saw at the meet was parked on the access road as we were leaving. From what I saw as I drove by, it had a very nice polished aluminum tank and seat. It should've been in the meet. From what I could see, it looked like excellent work!

Had a good conversation with Chris from Venice Choppers. He had a nice cafe bike there with Benji headlight and oil tank.

Yoshi had a great looking lineup of Japanese aluminum turn signals for sale, but they (as you might expect) were pretty pricey, like about $160 - $280 per set of four. Very pretty, though.

BTW, three guys with at least one cute gal rode CB750 rigid choppers to the meet. From DENVER! Oh, to be really young, and really crazy, again!

The number of Harley choppers at the meet was overwhelming!  Waaaaay too much equipment to effectively see during a very hot afternoon.  Worth the trip, though...  ;D  RR

I was put on Earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Now I'm so far behind, I'll never die!

TT-no problem

Sangyo- that is a fake tank.  It actually changes appearance when you walk by.  I believe its resin on top of a fish scale looking pattern.  The gas is in the frame.  Garage Company man! He builds good stuff.

BTW-Spikey, thanks for moving those first ones over.

Couldn't find a better one, but there's the whole bike in the back ground.  It was one of the nicer 'traditional' choppers.  Also had the same paint design on the rear fender.

I went round to an old retired guys house to buy some 400/4 bits and when he opened the garage this was on a trailer. Very very clean.
