Default Live Wire Custom Chopper

Have any of you guys been following the custom Live Wire chopper build by Gas Monkey Garage?

I'll say I am impressed with what I see so far.

Harley Davidson challenged Richard to take a Live Wire and build it for the Momma Tried show coming up soon.

It will be interesting to see how it will be received there.

Check out Gas Monkey on YouTube. There are three, maybe four videos of the build so far.

I've enjoyed watching it.

I struggle with the idea of an electric "chopper"

It's all show and while it would be stupid fast you can tell it handles like crap.

Given the time frame to create something I think they did a really good job.

Nice to look at!

That certainly meets the "chopper" definition

HD can't seem to sell them, so they might as well give them away for guys to cut up.

Horrible!

The TV series "Gas Monkeys" has always been bad, and will always remain bad—a complete waste of time.
When you've watched this crap for a few hundred episodes, then...

Only the series *OCC* topped everything—that was the program the German television landscape served up to its appreciative audience.
It was peddled as American biker culture—sickeningly bad, absolutely abysmal.
