Bourget’s throws down the gauntlet with retro styling and patented oil-in-frame system
By Ed Maurer

To look at any of the Bourget’s Bike Works versions of rolling road art, you’d never notice what makes them so different from other factory-built choppers. Look again. Roger Bourget (that’s Bor-GET) designed and patented a revolutionary oil-in-frame/drop seat style chassis back in ’99 that’s been hard to beat. That design, as well as his (also patented) jackshaft design that allows the drive train to be centered on all his wide tire chassis, sets BBW apart from the rest. So it is with their Retro Chopper.

American IronHorse Slammer™ Declared 2007 “Bike of the Year”

Winning V-Twin Expo’s “Bike of the Year” award is an honor for any motorcycle company. To do it twice in less than a dozen years is just downright ballsy; the folks at American IronHorse should be able to attest to that. They did it this year with their Slammer™, a beautiful beast of burden almost too pretty to take out among the cage drivers. If they had any, one would forgive their hubris once you hear this is also the second prestigious award the Slammer™ has won at Cincy. Never let it be said you can have too much of a good thing.
