Here are a few more photos from the 20th Annual Ma Rad's Rumble on the Deck chopper show . Jared made my 883R's pipes.  This is his Sportster: Cool ironhead: Jason says hi. Is this bike talking to me?  Is the bike asking me to steal it?  Is it talking about my wife?  Is it talking about someone else (in which case my wife will be pissed)?  I am so confused. Very cool Yamaha chop.  I really like the wings on the tank: Finally, here's a hardtailed Sportster with lots of cool details. This year's show will be in a !!! NEW LOCATION !!!

Scooter Trash 4 coverage wraps up... now. Yeah, uh, whatever.  Signs are dumb. More bikes!
