The Next Hot Trend In Bike Customization

Danny Davidson of Williamson County Choppers has mastered the art of etching bikes. It takes a lot of skill - and a few beers - to steady one's hand enough to work the engraver on these large scale surfaces but it definitely pays off.

While there is some amazing paint going on - and my personal fav is Mike DuSold -- the etching is going to come on strong. And I'm not the only one that is seeing this trend. Alan Lee of Gangsta Cycles has pulled in Danny for the new bike that is being built that is slated to be on the cover of the new Art of the Chopper book.

If you happen to be in Austin this weekend for the Republic of Texas Rally (ROT), be sure to stop by Coyote Ugly on 6th Street as Danny will have one of his bikes there on both Friday & Saturday nights.

Also at Coyote Ugly displaying custom builds will be:

• Denny Garley of TC Custom Bikes
• Jimmie Lee & John Coen of Three Two Choppers
• Scott Arndt of Scott's Hardcore Kustoms
