Love Hate Choppers
It's nice to see that if Ford goes out of business we can still its parts in the motorcycle industry. As all the ideas for the Love bike were coming together Christian had a bike in mind that he wanted to build around a leaf spring frontend that he got from Billy Lane. He felt it would make the perfect match to the Love bike as the Hate bike. The frontend was cut and reformed to fit the compact version of what Christian had in his head. He added a giant '32 Deuce coupe headlight and then he...

After last month's editorial I was overwhelmed with the amount of emails I got about what a good idea it was to recycle your old magazine by passing them on to the guys in the military.

Choppers
with this project. Christian convinced Ami to come out to Arizona and see the SPS plant, the company's bikes, and what the facility could do for him and the Love Hate Choppers vision.

The bike in this drawing looked similar to a Miami beach cruiser, according to Ami. With a set of 23-inch wheels, flat-sided spilt tanks, Shovelhead motor, a...
Ami Tattoo Artist Motorcycle
What do you get when you mix one part bike builder, one part tattoo artist, two parts of creativity, and two parts of style Love Hate Choppers and the story how two guys from two different industries met up, crushed some ideas, and built two customs that would start up an even bigger idea to produce a line of production bikes. The name Ami James of Miami Ink fame and Love Hate Tattoo and Love Hate Lounge may ring a bell. Ami was out in Daytona last year looking at bikes, hoping to find one that...
