Choppers and bobbers are rebellion, art, and freedom of expression on two wheels. They are forged by craftsmen in shops ranging from one-stall garages to large, ultramodern facilities. Choppers & Bobbers 2011 features some of the best custom bikes from some of the hottest builders in America. Each month features a full-bleed, studio-shot main image accompanied by a secondary detail or builder photo. Captions offer details about the bike and its builder.
