Well, with slow traffic here lately, here's a bit of fluff from a while back to keep things interesting for the troops, and very rifle-related.
A few years ago, Leupold offered a custom chopper with the company theme for a contest they sponsored with the bike as the Grand Prize. My sons shop was chosen to build the bike with the full Leupold treatment, even the custom forged wheels with a cross-hair design. Unique for sure, and guaranteed to get second glances from "rifle guys" who saw it in person.
All it seemed to lack was a rifle scabbard....fine for rural folks, but sure to get frowns from 'unenlightened' city dwellers. Now I wonder where the bike ended up. Someone out there now has a fun ride....for free!

Re: The Leupold Chopper
It would be interesting to know and see where it is. I agree and rifle scabbard would be a fitting touch. ( You look pretty good sitting on it. Did you wheel it around the shop area )? )

Even better Bill. I took it for a quick 15 minute cruise around town to make sure it was worthy. It was.

Super Rick, that would be even better.
