Nice.

Nice work.

How much is he charging per chopper? How long does each one take to build? How many employees?

 

[JBT]

It really depends on how much it took to build for example a kit bike is maybe 25K or so build that one is pretty much all custom stuff so 50 K wouldn't be out of line. Right now its just him and his friend who does the paint work that took them maybe 4 months or so? They left that just plan candy apple so that when someone does buy it they can choose what to put on it since it is suppose to be custom and all. =)

Oh yea, how much of the fabrication does your dad do?

He does quite a bit he has done alot of CNC machining through out his life so hes pretty good at it. He also shapes quite a bit of the individual peices.

Good looking bike. But 4 monthes??? It only takes the people on TV 2 or 3 hours to make one.

Is this a very profitable business your dad is in?

 

[JBT]

Well I don't know the exact numbers so I can't really say. They are just starting up and he is starting to look for more employees, He only had himself and his friend this past first year, so I would guess its starting to get going.

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Is that him in the 2nd pic?

 

[JBT]

nope thats his friend on the left I donno the kid on the right.

 

[RagingBITCH]

"YOU ARE SO DUMB MY CAT IS CRYING" to quote your sig.

I could have said it better, but it seems that someone has already tried to bore this into your head. That is what a motorcycle is really supposed to look like, not that rice rockets that are ridden by punks wearing shorts, tee shirts, and flip flops. At least most of them buy expensive helmets so as to preserve their head for the funeral.

Way to generalize... people wearing shorts, tanktops, and flip flops are idiots for sure... but people who ride sport bikes arent all assholes like you're implying.
