US sickle builders still got it!!

I love the Zero bikes and all the Japaneese stuff going on right now, but some guys here like Cole and this guy still carry the torch in my opinion -

 

No offense, but that bike looks like any typical bolt together job out there. It's cool, I'd ride it, but it doesn't appear to have a single hand made part on it.

 

not that it matters,but that automowdown is pro skater,jason jesse's company i think

 

I agree with Ryan. I think the Flyrite bikes look great, especially for the money. If I had the cash I'd be on the phone right now with 'em. My kinda bike.
Even tough I watch Am. Chopper I'm not really into "custom bikes", I just watch it for the entertainment. I think the Japaneese build some awesome bikes (and cars), but again, not my style of bike.

 

No offense taken Nads.. I know whats up, and what looks good to me. Sometimes simplicity is best(ok who am I fooling),Always!! So if its bolt on (not sure it all is), there is a trick or trade to being able to "bolt" on the right parts. You know what I mean, anyone can bolt on parts and gimmicks, but it takes an eye to "bolt" on what looks right on a bike. And for what its worth, I read that this his new bike co. for people on a tight budget, probably not my tight budget but a tight budget..

It's built by Jason Jessee's company Hi-Bond Modified for a client, so I guess to the clien't specs.

I pretty much hate the flyrite chop, fake "hotrod influence", too big a fender gap etc. looks like the 2-wheeled version of 1-800 "nostalgia" rod.

 

Jason Jesse is one funny mofo. Does good work really, and he does make his own parts, or what he can.

Nice bike.

Yeah especially when "Peanut" Brown knocked his ass out when he ran his mouth. Still a nice guy though...

I would have to say my influence is definately hotrod driven. I build no frills fast rides. This is my car I started to build before I started my motorcycle shop. My bikes have been built with new parts that were being made in the late 60's to early 70's. Back then you couldnt call a manufacturer(Which we are now, and if anyone on here has been through the process is very tough and time consuming not to mention costs a good sum of money)and have a bike like it. A bike like this would have been made by a guy that had a stock Harley. Nothing has changed, except we make it very affordable to a working man to have an old school bike made with new school parts which ellimates the old school troubles. Sorry for trying to help a brother out.



For anyone going to the Round Up here in Austin, I am stretching my legs a bit and building a complete one-off bike. Its a dragster themed 60's style bike with mechanical Hilborn fuel injection. I decided to build it after my car and my hotrod influence.

Thanks for everyone elses support in doing something I love to do.

Hey Jason - I always dug and respected what you cats were about. We're doing the same thing down here...

Hey Ryan.. that trumpet was my friend Brent's bike. He had to sell that thing to afford school tuition. I bet he's still kickin himself in the ass...

 

Evil - your bikes rock keep the hot rod influence going. and since was that a "bad" thing.. I like what you are doing and at a good price, If I could afford it, i wouldnt think twice about buying one from you.

 

make that three of us...i dig the blend of old and new...and at an economical price(comparatively speaking)

keep at it man

and truth...brentox def still kicks his own ass every morning over letting that trump go...i heard him crying last week

 

hey Jason, that 34 is fucking cool. Do you have any more bigger shots of it. I love it.

 

Johnny, I havent spoken to brent in like a year - where's he been hiding?

 

Hey Jason I want to publicly thank you for your donation to our raffle. Much appreciated brother.
BTW your '34 is about the baddest summbitch out there.

 

Hell, I've loved FlyRite choppers since I first heard of them on here. In fact, right now, I'm trying to figure out how I can finance one myself, my credit sucks bad so it's going to have to be creative so I don't get stuck with HUGE interest rates, but I've missed my bike dearly since I sold it for my car and the FlyRite basic is right up my alley. To each his own I guess, but his bikes are the shit.

 

Ryan,

The Triumph in the attachment is one i built a couple years ago. I sold it like an idiot. Let me know if you want more info on it.

Brentoxicated.

 

peanut brown's pads stunk up the whole ocean bowl

 

Nads , don't splash Jesse's bike to hard till you get a better look at it . It actually has quite a few handbuilt items on it . He is a pretty serious bike guy , so is Rico . They know thier shit and they know how to build solid bikes .

I believe ya, hell mine stil stink no matter how many times I wash them. I still see him though, he's a sales rep for Eastern in Wilmington NC. The whole thing is that Jason even got Peanut to swing, he's usually pretty mellow...

 

Damn =mike= how did you get that pic, I cant even get his website to load, i think my comp is too slowwwwww for his high tech site. funny i would have never thought JJ having a high tech site..

OK Zman- I want to hear the low down on this Dan Brown vs JJ thing.. I never heard this before. But I do remember the guy back in the day, never thought him for much of a swinger though..

 

I swiped it off the FUCK choppers and punk rock website . go check it out if you like mean homebuilt street bikes & choppers FUCK!

I'm not sure what "fake hot rod influence" is, but I do know that Jason is a great guy, building nice, solid, affordable bikes. I think the average person would be hard pressed to build something half as nice for alot more cash.

 

=MIKE= -I am on there everyday. It just looks different than the one I swiped today off there.(the 1st pic on this thread). I am a dork and save pics of all the cool bikes I see on there and didnt see that one..

 

ahhhhh gottcha , it was in the second post that Ivo made ( 2 of 2 ) i think , but yeah I have a disc of bikes I save from there as well

 

Gonna see about gettin a Flyrite rite soon. Them there motobikes kick 'em sum ass!! About as basic ass a bike can get without having to pedal it!! I like it!!!

 

I aint no bike builder-but this is what Im building this winter......hope it doesnt piss off the harly lovers.I cant afford no Evo motor and trans,so I am building my favorite brand of drivetrain for my [driver quality] Moto-Sickel.

 

water cooled.......belt drive......made in AMERICA

 

I'm not nessicarily a harley lover .I got lucky and found one for cheap , and I do like em alot , but I am mostly a chopper lover . I have seen hondas , triumphs and harleys that all give you that tingly feeling . That bike is pretty bitchen man I'll bet ALOT cheeper than building a modern harley chopper !
