Nice looking Choppa there.
Last I talked to Jimbo was a number of months ago. He had sold his chopper because he was so busy with work and the weather was so lousy, he wasn't able to ride. Their riding season for nice weather and excluding rain is a fairly small window compared to a lot of places here and his bikes were becoming garage queens. Anyhow, he had wanted to go to East Meets West and a few other venues and just wasn't able to break free. Last I talked to him he had his sights on Stan building him another chopper with some cool paint and stuff. Hopefully, he'll look in and say hello soon. A good reminder for me to send him a note...
I hope all is ok there. I sent him an email and didn't hear either. Unlike him. I know he was crazy busy with work related stuff but he would find time to call me and yakkity yak. If you do hear, please tell him to get in touch and I'll do the same. Thanks,
Didn't Jimbo own several V8 Choppers and/or Boss Hoss's, or am I mistaken?
One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet!!!

Jimbo owned a really nice big block Kannon, a Boss Hoss (small block) and a sweet V8Chopper he bought from David in Daytona. He also had a V8 trike that was custom made, a 750 hp Chevy Silverado, etc. Definitely a Brit with a real passion for American iron.
You're also right about "one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet". Also one of the wildest...
