CHICA BIKES

J.A.B. (Japanese-American-British) BIKE, RUMBLE, the DISCOVERY BIKE, and others.

IF YOU ENJOY LOOKING AT CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES, YOU’LL HAVE HAPPY EYES WHEN LOOKING AT THESE BIKES!

I’ve been admiring and photographing Chica’s unique style of custom motorcycles since 1995 and that may or may not just qualify me as a Chica’s Custom motorcycle expert. Every big name bike builder in America usually has a unique, even distinctive style that we can recognize, and by which we can positively identify the builder without being told who it is in many cases. Chica is no exception and almost without exception we have become accustomed to being able to recognize Chica’s style in each new motorcycle he builds. Basically nothing that restricts a motorcycles ability to be canyon ridden is used by Chica when he designs and constructs a motorcycle. But you already know that if you’re a Chica Custom Cycles aficionado. Pictured are a few of the bikes Chica built that you have may have seen before, but can now take a second, third and or longer look. I’m in the process of building a copy of the motorcycle I had in 1968, but may stoop to copy a few of the things Chica used on any one of these machines. Remember, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
