A10 Chopper, best ever?
« on: 25.06. 2013 18:32 »
I saw "The Inventor" at the Laxey bike show, during race week of the IOM TT.  Choppers aren't my thing but this is the best ever one I have seen.  Well engineered, excellent paint and chrome and lots of imagination and time spent on it.

One of  Vic Jeffords bikes. Builds good stuff does Vic.
Personal taste is such a strong component to custom stuff that 'best' is a fairly meaningless concept.
Thats why I dont do shows much. I dont see custom building as a contest.

Agree with you that custom building is not a contest but the quality of the end result of this work of art, is to a higher standard than other A10 choppers I have seen ie better.  Just my ha'porth.  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc.

 Very nice. Don't know if the twin disc rear makes up for the no front brake, but I like it.
Cheers

Love it, but where is the oil seeping from the rocker box gaskets?

Mr. Jeffords, if your reading this, please join, as we are nuts for the build stories, the photos and, maybe a video of how it rides and runs (I'm thinking, beatifully).

I would never want to own or ride anything like that, but I highly appreciate the workmanship. Absolutely great job & great skills. Thanks for posting great photos.
