Big Dogs, Ironhorses, Titans, Big Bears… The list of custom manufacturers is ever growing these days, and one company is making a big statement with their old style chopper designs, mid-sized engines, and manageable tires. Oh, and did I mention? At a price that even I can afford.

Santa Cruz California’s Big Mike Rouse has been shaking the custom motorcycle world his blend of old school style and new age technology. Building over 700 bikes a year, Big Mike has made a serious impact on the industry.

Featured on Speed Channel’s “Corbin’s Right-On”, Discovery Channel’s “Biker Build-Off” with Cole Foster, and other shows, Big Mike is keeping the culture together when too much TV seems to be killing the culture.

Today, as it was 50 years ago, motorcycles are laden with testosterone, and Big Mike is one of the cultures leaders.

“It’s freedom! It’s America! It’s what we live for here… I mean, having the freedom to take off that suit and tie and hop on your Harley or chopper, or other bike.

With the huge demand for his bikes, Big Mike recently opened a new 25,000 sq/ft, state-of-the-art BMC Choppers manufacturing facility in Bend, Oregon.

After this year’s Toys-for-Tots ride, join Hawaiian Chopper for the first truly international bike build-off featuring Big Mike and Norio Akai of Japan. One thing is for certain, Big Mike is looking for your vote!
