Friday, August 10, 2007 - Long Beach, California. On the way home from training, I decided to stop in at West Coast Choppers for lunch. This was my second visit and things had changed since the first time. Apparently, they now own the property across the street. More branded cars and truck, but fewer motorcycles. Below are some of the highlights.
You'll notice there are only a couple of pictures of the interior of the shop. That's because there were only four motorcycles inside and there was better stuff to look at outside. Last time I visited, the showroom was filled with choppers. The times, they are a changin'.
Maybe Jesse's right when he says the chopper industry is dead (West Coast Choppers Magazine, August 2007, p.3).
