CB650 chop for charity

So, a buddy of mine was challenged to a bike build off for charity last month. There were only 3 rules:

- 3 man team
- $1,000 budget
- Done in 30 days.

At the end, both bike get auctioned off and all proceeds go to the Wilderness Walk for Warriors, a group here in Maine that is building a monument to fallen soldiers on the peak of the tallest mountain in the state.

And a shot from the guys from the charity:

great job!!
