Here’s a wild one. We hooked up with O School Choppers through Bikernet as they opened their shop. We stayed in touch, because we want to deliver as man class sources of reasonably priced choppers as possible. We kept in touch, and when we heard they were headed toward Phoenix for the East Meets West show, I contacted Scooter, a long time biker photographer, in Arizona. He was up for it and I soon found out why—the women. There’s something about the devastating sun and arid air in the desert. It does something for the girls.

O School Choppers is located just 3 miles west from the Vegas STRIP off Blue Diamond Rd. Their shop features complete service, design, assembly, paint, leather works and the custom fabrication of down to earth..... no bullshit..... CHOPPERS and BOBBERS.

”We create and build the details from the age of the true chopper,” Chop said. “that stops traffic with O Style nostalgia and sets our bikes apart from Garage Candy?

I was grappling with Scooter’s lense aimed at every girl who strolled through the event. “Focus on O School, goddamnit,” I said.

Chop took me aside and told me that he had a photog connection in Vegas. I was still nervous.

They Specialize in Builds, Repairs & Restoration of O School Bikes and newer models.

“You'll find a wealth of talent designing, detailing, installing, servicing and restoring Knuckles, Pans, Shovel and Evolution Harley-Davidson motorcycles,” Chop said. “All O School Choppers feature 17 digit DMV approved serial numbers and EPA certified engines.”

They also offer inhouse real O SCHOOL pin stripping by Zorac. And here’s a rarity, they have a BSA and Triumph chopper guru, Ray, on the staff.

How the hell was I going to show off Zorac’s talents if Scooter aimed his camera up every skirt that passed.

O School Choppers features a 4000 sq. ft shop and showroom for Big Twin service and chopper assembly. “Sit down at our BurnOut Bar with the best view of the Vegas sky line,” Chop said, “and fill out one of our build sheets and plan your next ride with Adam or me.” Their turn key rides start with our MINIMAL CHOPPER at $15,500 “For the garage builder see our new BLUE COLLAR RIDE at $9995 and the CREW-CUT roller $3450.

We're working on California certification so watch for our rides on the I-5. We have bikes in stock at different stages of build and can deliver in 6-12 weeks a complete turn key ride!”

While Chop rambled about the shop and I tried, like a meth addict, to scratch notes in the blistering sun, I searched the crowd for Scooter. He was chasing another woman or following celebrity builders.

“O School isn't chrome and garage candy it's back to basics,” Chop continued, “flat black, pin stripes, whitewall tires, apes, solo seats and peanut tanks. A real bar hopper no ole lady on these fenders....OK, sum times ya gotta give in.” O School Choppers is located on Bronco Road off of South Jones, next to the tracks in SIN CITY, NV. Look for the building with the stop buy and pickup.

"O School" parts and accessories are available, including their Special pricing on solo seats, metallic grips, chopper mirrors, white wall tires and other vintage parts. The also have a full apparel line.

I gave up and returned to Wilmington to wait for the images to arrive. Scooter didn’t let me down and Chop backed his play with studio shots and shots of Stacy, testing out their O School apparel line. She tough, independent, with lotsa heart, who’s getting hitched in 2006 to LJ, the local bartender.
