Hello,
Saw the American Pickers rat rod parked in downtown LeClaire, Ia. last weekend. I was on my way to the antique motorcycle meet in Davenport so I swung in to their shop for a visit.

Thanks for looking,

Very cool hot rod

On my last visit to a mine in Northern New Mexico. One of the miners said to stop at their bike shop, as he wanted to give me some Elk Jerky. They have some cool stuff in their shop. I was really drawn to this one chopper with a new knuckle head motor. It depicts the early times of Northern New Mexico settlement and the conquistador Don Juan de Oñate y Salazar. If you think your roots in the states go way back, the ancestry in this area goes way way back. I love the folks of Northen New Mexico "Great Bro's" they are. The fender mascot was sculpted and cast by a local artist. I think of the place as a very cool art gallrey and not a shop. I so enjoy that hot/rat rod-bike culture. Cool stuff and thanks for showing that rat rod! Now send Mike and Frank on some pickin in the mountain states. There's cool stuff here.
