The old-school look is back. Gone are the stretched-out, chromed-up, candy-coated luxury choppers that cost more than the garage they re stored in and only see action twice a year for fear of scuffing the footpegs. The world of custom motorcycles begins and ends with the bobber. Sleek, fast, light, and dripping with character and personality, these bikes are built to ride. With classic 1940s and '50s styling, bobbed fenders, stock frames, vintage parts, and old-school paint jobs, the bobbers of today are using new techniques and technology to pay homage to the riders and builders who started it all. Authors and designers Spencer Drate and Judith Salavetz have compiled the photographs and stories of 49 hot bobber builders, from famous names like Dave Perewitz, the late Indian Larry, and Arlen Ness, to small neighborhood shops attracting major national attention. With essays on the history of the bobber and the future of the industry from noted motorcycle journalists and insiders, The Art of the Bobber is a treasury of classic and modern custom bobbers at your fingertips. Publisher's Note: The reverse of the book's jacket is an incredible poster of bikes featured in the book. Click on the thumbnail image listed under Product Pictures below for details.
