Naguetheys Cross
Country Rigid

I started my build
in 2004 after seeing Dirty Rices chop in the horse. And knew right then
I was a hondachopper head! Asked my dad for his old 7fiddy that was rusting
away in my grandmothers shed. And got started on the motor. Then in 2005
I finally got my money saved up for a Cycleone Manufacturing frame. And
the rest followed... By august of 2006 on a total shoe string budget I
had her on the road.
Fast forward a couple
of years and I was living in Seattle and while healing from a car wreck.
I tore the bike down and redid alot of stuff. That I was now better at.....New
front end all new brackets. New forwards, and twisted sissy bar. New seat
and oil tank, electrical box, kicker.And a few cans of rattle can. And
she was back on the road......Now if I can find time it's about time I
actually get to engrave my own chop.
