This is TJBC

Every machine Iwork with is a learning experience, a journey not to be missed, and a destination to be falling in love with, over and over again.

Question everything.

The raffle bike is speeding along at a good clip now, and the frame is back from paint with a beautiful white ice pearl finish.
now i have to get everything to sandblasting so the parts can be chromed in time for re-assembly!
im currently looking for someone who might want to donate a chrome job to the bike!

IT HAS BEGUN!

When i originally began setting up this event with Johnny and Gio, i had no idea how much sleep i would lose! Well The donor bike has been pulled into the shop and will be undergoing a radical transformation from a mild, unassuming and visually uninspiring honda shadow, to a complete custom chopper.
This build has had parts donated from some awesome companies and id like to thank them all for getting involved and for their support!
Heres a list of the Companies who have donated parts to this build!
Lowbrow Customs - Fender
Noise Cycles - Handlebars
Lower Class Leather - Leather goods
Dept of Customz - Paint
Biltwell - Helmet and Gloves
Hippy Killer - Pegs and Grips
Paughco - Gas tank components
and we have a few more companies who may be donating parts to this build or donating sweet stuff to giveaway!


Raffle tickets are no longer available online at this point, for some reason paypal didn't like me selling tickets for a raffle that will benefit charity. hmmm. So until we figure out an alternative, tickets are available at the following fine establishments-
The Gasser Lounge
Johnnys Saloon
Ed's Stumble Inn
TJ Brutal Customs

Please keep in mind, that even though you are buying raffle tickets to win a motorcycle, you are donating money to Vision 2 Victory a veterans charity. We want to thank everyone who has purchased tickets so far and I am looking forward to posting even more good stuff as this bike build moves along!

I know she doesnt look like much but its going to be awesome to see the transformation!!!!
stay tuned!
