Thanks to our man on the west coast, we now have the full story on the Forkless Chopper from it’s builder Christian Dotson.

The main reason for building this bike was to introduce and help establish myself in the custom motorcycle industry. I chose to build this bike, in particular, to highlight my design, engineering, and fabrication abilities. I knew I had to do something different and innovative, in order to stand out from other builders.

Today we have more from the Grand National Roadster Show. Not only do they have the creamiest crop of rods around, but they also happen to have some pretty hip cycles to. The two wheeler above was built by Christian Dotson. Not only did it win the America’s Most Beautiful Motorcycle award, but it has also went taken top honours at the San Francisco Rod, Custom and Motorcycle Show.

TV review - King of Cars

KOC_CAST1.jpg

The show features dealer kid cum sales phenom Josh Towbin (aka Chop) as he leads his huge crew of wacky sales staff to incredible heights of craziness. These guys will do anything to sell a car, and sell cars they do. One day featured in the show, they sell 40 cars in one day. 40 cars!!! I know many dealers that don’t sell 40 cars in a month, let alone a day! One cool stunt they pull is that customers who buy a car are allowed to drop their sales guy into a dunk tank. Who hasn’t wanted to drown a salesman before?

Towbin Dodge does really well with their Chopper Edition models, which they have slammed, lifted, installed hydraulics in everything from a 2006 Charger to a 2005 Hummer H2.

The show King of Cars is put together by the same group that produce Dog the Bounty Hunter and other A&E hits, so you know it’s well put together. I actually really enjoyed the view into a dealership much larger than anything I’ve ever been in. I hope they spend some time in the service department.
