Like them...











"Chopper Dave Freston" or "Chopperdave" as i would remember him by from few years ago, i remember watching him and Indian Larry from the Discovery Channels of when Jesse James of West Coast Choppers built a bike bound for a long trip on the August Black Hills run "Sturgis Bike Rally", back then almost everybody who's into the chopper scene knows and wants to be close related to the WCC scene( heck even me), no offence, i still respect and love what JJ and the WCC crew has to offer to this day, it's to me just mind blowing on how much an icon Jesse James could be as a normal blue collar guy,mechanic,welder,father or husband and businessman but i took notice of his handyman at that time too, Bill Dodge and Chopperdave, i knew then that these guys were the real cool acts, i love their styles and especially how their bikes looked, i mean c'mon skinny tires Panhead/Knucklehead running machines against high end WCC bikes??, and i see the beauty in those oil leaking vintage more than a five thousand dollar paintjob bike??, something must be wrong with me or thats just the reason why back then most of my HOTBIKE magazines were all handovers and StreetChopper mags were bought??, they both dont work for the company now but i still follow them throughout their "self employed" journeys building and making the coolest stuff nowadays, Dave has his "Casting Co." and Bill with his "Blings Cycles" maybe different in styling but all the same for the love of two wheels checkout Chopperdave's and Blings Cycles
