“We had built a bike for Kenny a few years ago, Kenny, unfortunately, had gotten into a motorcycle accident with somebody who wrecked his other bike. So he came in and asked if there was any way we could build him something else, more of a show bike instead of a street bike. So we came up with some ideas.  He likes dragons and stuff like that, so I sketched some stuff up and threw some ideas at him, and from there we designed the bike you see here.  Medieval feel is the best way I could describe it. It’s got a lot of sharp angles and a very medieval feel to the whole thing.” John Wargo, Owner, The Custom Shop

Attention to detail has not been overlooked as you can see by looking at the Dragon Low theme. From concept through fabrication to body work through custom paint to the Performance Machine billet wheels running Avon tires, every detail of the Dragon Low has been taken into consideration…the only aspect of building this custom motorcycle that John Wargo did not do himself is the real alligator skin seat which accentuates dragon look.  For more photos of the Dragon Low and to check out some of John Wargo’s other works and custom paint, visit The Custom Shop or give then a call at 815-796-2772.

“My 2008 HD Crossbones is my baby. I have put PM Factor Contrast Cut Stealth wheels, rotors and pulley on it. Also sporting XO Prodox Shooter grips, highway pegs and shifter pegs. One off custom made front axle nut covers. Love the sound of it from the Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes, the Kuryakyn Hyper-charger and the power commander. Changed the sprung seat to a more lean, lower chopper style seat. There is custom pin-stripping on the horn cover. This bike is definitely not your typical chick bike. Gotta love it. Ride safe and ride often.”

As promised, please take a look at the three winners of the Performance Machine’s April Bike of the Month contest here at Boss Hawg Blawg. They are as follows:

1. Jim E.’s 2010 HD Street Glide

Jim’s 2010 HD Street Glide features the following PM products:

- Contrast Cut Heathen wheels
- Matching rotors
- Renthal grips
- Chrome bag latches

And here’s Jim’s statement about his bike:

“ I am happy to report that my wife picked out the wheels on this bike!  That is a big deal, as the first time she rode it, we had to pull over so she could vomit-it made her motion sick! The bike was purchased REALLY new (was only 2 weeks off assembly line) from Adamec Harley in Jacksonville. Maiden voyage was to St. Augustine, FL and she refused to ride it again, until I put on a detachable sissy bar.  Motion sickness solved-off to Daytona for Biketoberfest.  While at Biketoberfest (with my bone stock Street Glide), my buddy decided to buy a chopper-which kinda made my bike look..well..stock.  While walking around Destination Daytona, we started looking at wheels, and my wife fell in love with the PM wheels.  If I wanted new wheels, those had to be the ones! While waiting for the wheels/tires/rotors to be installed, I went ahead and put on PM bag latches, PM grips, and a Kuryakyn curved license plate frame.  When we got home, the bike went straight to HD to get the front end chromed out, Covington Cycle fork bells, and lowered 2.5”. Still a work in progress, but at least the wife doesn’t get sick & she loves the wheels!”

“When Sandra Bullock thanked her bad-boy husband, Jesse James, as she accepted her best actress Oscar for The Blind Side, she may not have known that while she was away shooting the film, Jesse was carrying on a steamy affair with a tattoo model. While Jesse has had an 11-month affair, including five weeks of sex, with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee, she believed he and Sandra were no longer together. “I would never have hooked up with him if I thought he was a married man,” Michelle tells In Touch in an exclusive interview. “He gave me the impression they were separated.” For weeks, while Sandra was in Atlanta shooting The Blind Side, Michelle had sex at least once a week with the Monster Garage star. Far from a one-night stand, his relationship with Michelle was intimate and highly charged. Michelle even says she called Jesse, who didn’t wear underwear or condoms, by a special pet name, Vanilla Gorilla, because he was so “well-endowed.”

While Jesse was in Atlanta with Sandra when she started to film The Blind Side, Michelle sent West Coast Choppers a friend request because she hoped to snag a modeling gig there. She was surprised that it was actually Jesse who wrote back to her and told her to e-mail him at his personal e-mail. From the start, Jesse wanted to meet Michelle, and it was never about business: “He started saying, ‘Do you want to hang out?’” So a week after he got in touch, Michelle drove two hours from her San Diego home to West Coast Choppers in LA. “I got there around 9 at night,” remembers Michelle, who was starstruck at first. “I was like, ‘Holy s**t. It’s really Jesse James.’” After taking Michelle on a tour of his garage, Jesse brought her into his office and locked the door. “We ended up on the couch,” she says. “He wanted to watch movies, but I asked him, ‘What’s going on with you and Sandra?’” Jesse was evasive. “He said, ‘She doesn’t live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it.’” Assuming he and Sandra were separated, Michelle continued talking to Jesse, she says, and then, “We had intimate relations.” Michelle says she and Jesse had sex “two or three times,” that night — and began what she believed was a serious relationship, texting each other several times a day, and meeting up for sex at least twice a week for the next five weeks.” Quote Courtesy of In Touch Magazine.

I have to say that I have always admired Sandra Bullock with the utmost respect and I do love to watch her movies because she is so sexy.  Let’s all hope for the best with Jesse James and Sandra Bullock…and with his bitter custody battle with Janine Lindemulder over their daughter.  Maybe he will turn his mind back to the custom motorcycles that gave him his claim to fame after leaving Boyd Coddington, may his soul rest in peace.  But Sandra must wonder about the truth… like the video below from Ace…How long has this been going on with Michelle Bombshell McGee?
