A GIFT FROM VON FRANCO

SOME NEWS FROM AUSTIN…

Our good friend and artist Von Franco brought us a little surprise one day after we finished chopping his 1932 Coupe.

It’s a piece of art that he drew by hand. It hangs on the wall at the front of the shop and greets people when they walk in. It may become a T-shirt design one of these days, but for now….we just love looking at it. Thanks Franco!

MAN´S BEST FRIEND

West Coast Choppers is famous for a few things: Building the best custom motorcycles on the planet (bar none), loving our shop dogs, and pissing people off…not necesarily in that order of course. Here’s one bike that celebrates all three of those virtues. The Cisco and Noodles Tribute Bike was built to honor a couple of the shop’s departed friends, who are truly missed. Cisco was our ambassador of good will. He greeted everyone that came to the shop–tail waggin’. There wasn’t a scratch or a treat he would turn down. Noodles, on the other hand, was a little tougher to win over. But once you did, she was a big marshmallow. More of a butt wiggler than a tail wagger, always ready with big sloppy kisses.

Jesse decided to make a bike to honor them since they were such a big part of the family at West Coast. So he designed this at the end of 2009. It finally got all the finishing touches put on, and it’s a show stopper. A true West Coast Choppers custom to the core. Badass from the front tire to the back, and a fitting tribute to our 2 friends that are no longer with us.

It’s got a whole laundry list of West Coast goodness built in. Hand crafted details you don’t find rolling out of other shops. Old school craftsmanship, and unmatched style. It’s not so much a motorcycle as it is a rolling piece of art. So, isn’t it about time you found something worth building a West Coast Chopper for…like maybe yourself? Check out the pix, and notice the details. Give us a call to help you build your dream bike today.
