A great Saturday night party , and new YOTC sculpture.

This weekend we put together a little art viewing/music listening/wine tasting get together at Wine Sync in downtown Mount Clemens. We had a great turnout of friends, family, and supporters, and it looked like a good time was had by all. Darla and Terry performed a very eclectic set of acoustic songs, from Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" and Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain" to "Use Somebody" by the Kings of Leon and yes, even Michael Jackson's "Bad"! I'm hoping we can do something similar in the future, and next time I'm going to make sure we get video.

We also raffled off a Chopper for Charity(Bike #100), which raised some money for Lifebuilders Detroit and Home Fur-ever.

This week's motorcycle sculpture is a Harley Ironhead Sportster, it's bike #103 overall and the 13th YOTC bike.

1957 Harley Davidson Panhead

This is my take on a '57 Harley, with a panhead motor, drag bars and and a sissy bar, and a pretty cool set of pipes. It was "inspired" by this motorcycle, all though I put my own twist on it.



This is the 10th Year of the Chopper bike, and all proceeds from it's sale will go to charity.

A variation on a theme, another 1948 Harley Davidson FL Chopper

This is the 5th Year of the Chopper bike, a sleek Panhead chopper I call "Top Chef." This was originally going to be what "Jungle Jockey" became, but as I did the front forks and sat them to the frame I decided to go a different direction. It's got a laid back look with the bigger rake and swept back handlebars. I think the carriage bolts work well for the heads, and the slash cut exhaust looks killer!

Bid on "Top Chef" now!

One take on a '48 panhead

"Jungle Jockey" is a chopper based on a 1948 Harley Davidson FL, it's a panhead powered bike with ape hangers and a jockey shifter. I'm pretty stoked with how the exhaust turned out too!
