Al those show are just that, shows where they get a high price Harley and spend heaps more money on the mods and up to $85k spent all up, my mate Paul built his bobber from bits he had laying around from his days of growing up with old British bikes and for a slap together Triumph bobber it looks pretty good, a rattle can paint job and not much money spent on it but time and a love of doing it for himself and no one else.I watched a couple of guys doing it to a big Harley on TV for a competition, yesterday. I don't play cricket but chopping a Harley might be better.
I hate them shows where they compete with each MC custom shops and then selling them off to some fool who thinks they are great who have no real idea, just because a custom bike might look good (in some eyes) don't mean they are any good to ride and to pay a lot of your hard earned money to find out that they ride like a piece of sh.t, and most who do buy them have way to much money to burn and no real experience with real bikes or building them.
Nothing better than building your own bike with your own hands with what you have and spend the money where its needed to improve it to be even better and learn by your mistakes and fix those mistakes to be better.
