A Wild Ride.

PB Choppers president, Jim Wubben, came of age during the wild years of the ‘60s, influenced by hard rock, Vietnam, Woodstock and the classic movie, “Easy Rider.”

He and his friends shared a passion for bikes and spent time searching for ways to make their own look cool – without spending a lot of money or ordering parts from catalogs. They believed in using their imaginations to build the bikes of their dreams. They never worried that they couldn’t do it, they just went for it. In fact, Jim’s first project involved a case of beer, a hack saw, a torch and some welding rods, along with some great conversation with his friends. When the sun came up that next morning, Jim had created his first classic ride.

Now more than 30 years later, Jim continues to look for unique ways to make bikes look distinctive, with classic lines, an edge, something that makes them stand out. Working with his son, Shaun, the two have teamed up to build bikes that customers have only dreamt about – bikes crafted to meet the highest standards, with quality materials all designed to “fit” the rider and fulfill the vision he has of himself riding off into the sunset.
