Father + Son Share Life Building Choppers | A ChopCult Feature

Some families play board games. Others sell OEM Knuckleheads for $800, take over small-town graveyards, and rip 1949 Panhead frames off each other. Welcome to the Rodriguez shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; where Bill and Carlos are working to pass their passion for vintage motorcycles on to future generations. They were kind enough to invite us on a tour of their shop and shared stories with us about the impressive bikes they’ve built.

The midwest is a great place to be born and raised along with raising the next generation... I'm from the fields of Illinois and if the rest of the country found out how great life is here we'd be invaded

[@ericweber1969]

I loved visiting Illinois, but there’s no way I’ll give up my Arizona winters!

Aslong as you have caring family with steady income, a school with good teachers, and keept away from drugs and alcohol

[@knucklefist8535]

Great video, but there is faint, and annoying high pitched tone through parts of the footage. Like at 9:20

Did he say vard front end? Vard is definitely a fork but when i search it up i cant find this one. Can anyone correct me on the name or know the exact model of this front end ?

[@ChopCult_09]

Yep! So back in the 40s Vard manufacturing was making airplane landing gear and ended up developing the first hydraulic front end for a motorcycle in the US. Originals are pretty hard to come by. Today, with the blessing of the Vard family, Jeff Leighton and The Harpoon are making re pop Vard front ends under the name Vard mfg. instagram.com/vardmfg/?hl=en
