This week in SSC: "Abstract in Red" I had to go down to the "Man Cave" for my shot this week. :-O This is part of a chopper my husband built many years ago. You can see a little more of it in the PIP. ...and for Sight and Sound: I can't help but add this song from the 1969 movie "Easy Rider": Steppenwolf from their self-titled album (1968) from the movie: Born to Be Wild Born to Be Wild Live: Born to Be Wild

Urk.... I had to venture into the "Man Cave" for this week's challenge. This is a custom paint job on a bike my husband built. It is metal flake paint with 23 carat gold leaf graphics. If you'd like to see the whole bike here it is: cl.ly/image/2l211o2t282E

3 OOAK (one of a kind) Yo-Yos After last week's challenge (and some interest) I thought I'd showcase these yo-yos that my husband made. He's an "old school" chopper builder. They are made out of billet aluminum and one is copper plated with fake bullets. The 44 Magnum yo-yo has 12 real bullet casings cut down. The yo-yo idea came from other parts he was making at the time. Busy hands and a creative mind led to these creations. Credit also goes to Jesse James (West Coast Choppers) and Billy Lane (Choppers Inc.) for their inspiration. Enjoy!
