Chopperprophets-S3E8 - JP Rodman

Chopper Prophets - December 17, 2015 04:38 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
JP has a great story. He's fallen to great depths and is now rising far above what he thought possible, but he's doing with a solid grounding; remembering where he's come from. This year (2015) he won the Showclass Magazine's People's Champ contest. Having competed against 30+ builders for a sp...

Chopperprophets-S3E6 - Dave Polgreen

Chopper Prophets - October 05, 2015 06:20 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
This interview is one that couldn't have come together as it did any other way. Dave and his family had just moved to California from Minnesota and were likely still unpacking when he came down to talk choppers and life with me. Dave is such an unassuming person. He is calm, easy to talk with, ...

Chopperprophets-S3E5 -Keino Sasaki (Keino Cycles, NY)

Chopper Prophets - September 22, 2015 23:19 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
A few words come to mind when I think of Keino, but one really stands out; Determined. Keino has lived a pretty incredible life not void of adventure or amazing opportunity. It takes guts to stare fear in the face, pack up everything you own, and move across the country for a single opportunity...

Finally had an opportunity to sit down with TJ, accomplished musician, fabricator, and designer of some great Honda Shadow chops! In a world dominated by Harley chops, it's great to hear his perspective on import bikes; advantages/disadvantages. Grab a drink, a comfy place to sit, and listen in...

Chopperprophets-S2E10 - Andy Carter (Pangea Speed)

Chopper Prophets - January 10, 2014 10:48 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
"Goodness does not consist in greatness, but greatness in goodness." -Athenaeus Andy certainly brings a lot of goodness. To have had the experiences that Andy has had at such a young age and not let them go to your head or destroy you takes a certain amount of humility. Listen in as we talk li...

Chopper Prophets - January 03, 2014 08:58 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
One night my wife called me over to check out a Panhead that she found on Pintrest. That's right, I said Pintrest. That site dedicated to making you feel like a complete underachiever in life because all the crafts and ideas are simple and amazing?! Anyway, I shuffled over and couldn't believe ...

Chopperprophets-S2E8 - Mike DeFonzo (Freakoutthesquares.com)

Chopper Prophets - December 20, 2013 07:31 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
Freakoutthesquares.com was one of the first sites I would visit when I discovered this culture. Through the site, I had access to all these different blogs, builders, and companies without having to hunt down each one. They also carried 100's of items I was interested in from groups who didn't ...

Chopperprophets-S2E7 - Oliver Jones (The Cutrate)

Chopper Prophets - December 13, 2013 07:15 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
When I first met Oliver, I had no idea the caliber of individual I was shaking hands with. Quiet, almost stoic, but engaged Oliver can seem at first glance like he could care less about what's going on around him. This however couldn't be further from the truth. He's a driven and observant man ...

My wife and I first met Anya at the grand opening of Iron Cobras Fabrication located in Signal Hill, Ca. Warm, friendly, and thoughtful are the words that come to mind when trying to describe her. She's a rider, enthusiast, and all around great young woman. I believe what she's doing now will a...

Chopper Prophets - November 29, 2013 07:14 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
I met Tony for the first time through his daughter-in-law at the El Diablo Run Viewing Party in Orange, California directly following BornFree 4. It's funny sometimes how you can get a flash of something that hasn't happend, but have the feeling that it already has. Like meeting someone for the...

Chopperprophets-S2E4 - The Gorgeous George

Chopper Prophets - November 22, 2013 07:43 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
Most people in this world are content to live life the way they're supposed to; College, Career, Marriage, House, Taxes, and Death. Not everyone can step outside the normula and just make things happen. George isn't just anyone and maybe that's why he's had some great success in leaving the wor...

Chopperprophets-S2E1 - Travis McLelland

Chopper Prophets - November 01, 2013 10:06 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
It was hot, dusty, and packed with people. I've been to Cooks Corner many times before, but never have I seen it like this. Bikes everywhere, people having a good time, and there amid the chaos five choppers stood waiting for the final vote. Who would be the People's Champ? Travis McLelland, a ...

Chopper Prophets - June 21, 2013 06:45 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
Nate Scott is one of the main reasons I decided I wanted to be a part of this culture. When I first met him and his brother, Evan Scott, they were celebrating the opening of their shop in Signal Hill, Ca., Iron Cobras Fabrication. They were extremely welcoming to this almost 40 year old who lov...

Chopper Prophets - June 14, 2013 09:04 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
When I first started checking out blogs related to motorcycles believe it or not, The Lone Rangers MC blogspot was one of the first ones I found. There was something about these guys that caught my attention. They worked on their own bikes, supported other folks in the community, and seemed lik...

Chopperprophets-S1E10 - Jason Welsher (ToDieFor Clothing)

Chopper Prophets - June 07, 2013 06:00 ★★★★★ - 28 ratings
Meeting Jason might have seemed like a one in a million chance or a fluke to some, except that I don't believe in "chance" meetings. Jason was pressing free Loser Machine shirts at the Loser Machine | Born Free 5 party back in March. I remember walking up and thinking, "Man, this is a hard work...
