Power Plant Choppers

The man behind Power Plant, Yaniv Evan

If you've been an inmate here at the Asylum for any length of time you know that I have a thing for Sucker Punch Sally's (http://www.suckerpunchsallys.com/), Christian and the gang, flat get it. Their bobbers and choppers exude old school style and class.........and best of all, they don't break the bank. Many complete models sell in the very low twenties, and considering the quality, that's a steal. Hell, you can even purchase a rolling chassis, motor and tranny and finish the beast yourself. They're aces in my book, and still are..............

But, hold the phone, I've just discovered another builder (OK, when I say "I discovered", I'm well aware that they've been around for a while, and you dear reader have known about them for years and years, but they're new to me, it's my blog.......fill in the blanks) out of So Cal that is really rockin' it big time with an owner that only knows how to do it his way; Power Plant Choppers (http://www.powerplantchoppers.com/). The bikes have a vintage look and feel........raw and in some cases almost unfinished. Almost like how you'd do it yourself, if you had the mad skills that is.

The man in charge is Yaniv Evan, and by all accounts this dude is one of a kind, but why take my word for it, there's an article in the current issue of Ol' Skool Rodz magazine (http://www.olskoolrodz.com/ another nifty gem from the folks at http://www.koolhousepublishing.com/) that profiles the man and his shop. Oh, and notice that Power Plant was featured not in a bike rag, but in a hot rod magazine, proving yet again that looking beyond the usual motorcycle publications can really pay off.........like your mom always said, broaden your horizons!

Cool truck, huh?

After you've checked out the article, please visit the Power Plant website, there's two actually. One is focused on the bikes and accessories, it has a super cool post apocalyptic industrial vibe, and not much detail on the machines (there is a note about prices starting in the $25k range, so not awful), you're gonna have to call for that. The "other" site is features a gallery and PP clothing and it's got to be one of the prettiest in the business.........no BS, tell me it doesn't remind you of a Lucky jean site.......high end, high fashion..........damn fine bikes, and almost too perfect models. For the record, the dud's Power Plant is hawking are very cool.........if there was only a way to actually order them from the site!! Maybe it's me, but ain't nothin' clickable, not cool. I emailed them about it, nothing back so far.

Just the way God intended

So check it out, let me know what you think...........looks like Power Plant's got some good stuff goin' on.
