Synopsis
Profiles and pics of the hottest builders working today. Several of the most popular custom bike builders featured on the Discovery Channel TV show "Biker Build-Off" are featured in this book. These fascinating builders are profiled with a particular focus on their passion for creating rolling works of art. The book features stunning photography by leading shooter Michael Lichter as well as photos from the builders' personal photo collections. Profiled are Yasuyoshi "Chica" Chikazawa of Huntington Beach, California, who came to the United States from Japan, where he perfected the craft of building old-school choppers; Jerry Covington of Woodward, Oklahoma, who is known for his sleek designs of a wide variety of bikes; Jesse Rooke, owner of Jesse Rooke customs in Phoenix, Arizona, and has gained a huge following for his bicycle-themed choppers; Northern California's Cory Ness, the rising star and son/business partner of legendary builder Arien Ness; Californian Roland Sands, a racer and one of the hot young guns of motorcycle design; Dave Perewitz of Brockton, Massachusetts, who is a true king of customizing; and Mondo Porras, who has created hand-built custom choppers the old-school way since 1967 at Denvers' Choppers (currently in Henderson, Nevada).

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
