Big Bear Choppers closed the doors about a year ago.

So does that mean he closed his shop and just opened another in a different name?

Ragehard Choppers??? LMFAO with that name, WTF? Is that a serious name of a company?

Long story short BBC was taking deposits on bikes without any intent on delivering a product for well over a year. They had a recall due to cracking frames and it ended them, but before they went out they committed what I would call a massive fraud before closing their doors.

I wouldn't deal with anyone involved in that company ever.
