Customer Reviews

The covers the best thing
If you were expecting to see lots of modern custom bikes and choppers then you will be disappointed. It would appear that this is an old book republished with an appealing new cover (showing far and away the best bike in the whole book, and with no details about it in the text).

No mention is made of the modern customising houses like Exile, WCC, Choppers Inc. Indian Larry or OCC, there are just lots of 70's & 80's tacky multi-coloured choppers - this book should have been there along with the kind of bikes that it showcases.

Do yourself a favour - give it a miss!
