The last three days I was on the North Carolina/South Carolina shared state line with a gal whose talents are above reproach. I was also introduced to a chopper builder: JIM BORTLES. Jim's choppers have been featured in Easy Riders, American Iron, Iron Works...the list goes on.
I'm writing a bio on this man for you guys...Pics included featuring his genius.
I consider myself very fortunate to have sat in the garage/work area of this talented builder... You will too. Stand by for the story, but for now... Well...here is the man's personal ride.

I am very happy to write things that cause others to engage in discussion or comment! In fact, I'd be delighted to have y'all leave a comment and a link to your own MOTORCYCLE/TRAVEL or PERSONAL blog! I enjoy reading the work of others, and the more of you who post the links to your own sites, the more there is to share and talk about. DON'T POST LINKS THAT LEAD TO ADVERTISING. I don't allow advertising here. I hate to be pestered with that stuff. I will delete any link that leads to advertising.

ReplyDeleteNice bio of Jim. He is a very talented builder. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years ago in Sturgis & photographed a bike he had just built as well as Joann's Sporty.
