Need new bars for your ride? WCC has ya covered!

Handlebars make or break the look of your bike…everybody knows that! Here at West Coast Choppers…we’ve got the MADE IN THE U.S.A. bars you need to turn your bike from just another lame ass sled to a fire breathing weapon of mass destruction! Check out our latest– the BMX-inspired S&S Bar. Handcrafted in stainless steel, with a bolt on, fully CNC’d aluminum cross bar, these look sick on anything from a flatty to a twin cam. If you’ve got a Harley Rocker, you can ride in style just like Jesse, with our Nomad Bar and spacer kit.

And of course we have the classic West Coast Choppers Drag Bar, Super Duper Bar, and Mini Ape in stock and ready to bolt on for the big ride this weekend! You are riding this weekend, right?!? Check the parts page for details on all our bars (and all the other stuff you NEED for your bike) and then give the shop a call to get the hook up! 562-983-6666.

IT WAS THE FORERUNNER OF THE VERY POPULAR CLOWN CAR, BUT FOR SOME REASON NEVER REALLY CAUGHT ON.

But seriously, folks…meet Isidro. By day, dedicated Cisco Burger short order cook, which in and of itself takes a great deal of skill. But when he’s not bustin’ butt at Cisco Burger serving the lunchtime rush, he’s out using his mad skillz making everything imaginable outta balloons, entertaining at parties, spreading peace and joy to children and families. He did a little demonstration for us and made some balloon-choppers for our desks the other day.

Art & Hot rod show this Saturday May 15! 12-6pm

Stop by Gasoline and check out some great work, meet the artists, listen to some local bands, and high five one of our favorite WCC photographers, Tim Sutton. It’s free, so get ready for a day Pabst Blue Ribbon and sun!

And you thought we were only about Burgers and Breakfast?

Nope. Baked daily, our 4 kinds of homemade cookies, large and in mini packs are the perfect solution when 3 o’clock rolls around. And if you’re lucky enough to get a slice of the homemade almond tart you’ll know why we sell out so fast. But if you’re really in the mood for something crazy then do as the locals do, and ask us to hook it up with a root beer float from our super high quality soft serve ice cream.

And, as a public service, [but mostly so you can appear to be a little smarter than your knuckle dragging friends] we want to give you a little 411 about the origins of Cinco De Mayo. Contrary to popular belief, Cinco De Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day [that's September 16th, and is celebrated by the ringing of the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, which Taco Bell purchased in 1998 from the USA and renamed it the Taco Liberty Bell. ]

Cinco De Mayo actually commemorates the Battle of Puebla. And it was started by, get this, France. WTF? Right? Well, here’s how it went down:

In 1861, Mexico got a little behind on paying back some dough they borrowed from France. So France got a little bugged. But instead of turning the issue over to a collection agency who would have called Mexico day and night at dinner time and hounded them for repayment, they decided to attack. Those pissy little French! Yeah, so France decided that it would try to take over and occupy Mexico, and was successful, at first, on its invasion….possibly due to their fancy outfits or their outrageous French accents.

But May 5, 1862, at the city of Puebla, Mexican forces stopped shooting into the air for once, and started shooting at the French, and kicked ass. Smart history peeps think that the Battle of Puebla was important for at least two reasons. First, the odds were WAY in France’s favor. The 4,000 Mexican soldiers were greatly outnumbered by a well-equipped French army of 8,000 that had not been defeated for almost 50 years. Second, it was significant because since the Battle of Puebla no country in the Americas has been invaded by an army from another continent. So our friends to the South sent a little message to the rest of the world: stay off North America, MTFers!

So that’s your little history lesson courtesy of your friends here at West Coast Choppers. Hope you paid attention. There will be a quiz. Now go buy some parts!

Jay gone wild…
