Yeah, it all started when Jesse James of West Coast Choppers got his hands on a Paughco frame and a 98-inch stroker motor from Dragon Coasters in New York, coupled with a Custom Chrome transmission, Kennedy wheels and front end, and their European brakes, and a Rivera engineering primary drive. With 100 miles on the clock, he began the trek to the Badlands in 1997. I know, the entire 6-pack saga is in the bikernet garage. It's serious, if you call 400 breakdowns somber reading. It's a fuckin' miracle they made it.
