There are a lot of big changes for American Ironhorse in 2008. By far the biggest change was that in the latter part of the year. They filed for bankruptcy. By some estimates for 2008 only 1500 American Ironhorse motorcycles were manufactured.
The model that were looking at in this video is their most popular, the Texas Chopper. (more…)

It was a week before Thanksgiving and the wife and I were staying in the Scottsdale area of Phoenix, Arizona. We had gone there for a couple days to relax and take in the sights. Unfortunately, the forecast was for a couple days of rain, and because of job commitments, we just couldn’t change our itinerary.
On the drive out from San Diego, there were just a couple of areas of rain and within about 45 min. the rest of the 6 1/2 hour trip was basically under cloudy skies. I had taken my helmet, motorcycle jacket and boots because I was planning on taking a look at a motorcycle that was offered for sale that was about an hour and a half north of Phoenix. I thought that if the bike looked good and I could reach an acceptable price with the seller, I would just ride it back to San Diego.
Unfortunately, as things turned out, for the four days that we were in Scottsdale it rained every day. We still managed to take in a couple of the sites and my wife went on a three hour tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright residence and school located on the eastern end of town.
I was planning on taking a look at the motorcycle for sale while my wife was on her tour, but, the weather was so bad I just had to call and cancel because I did not relish the fact that I would have to ride about three hours round-trip in rainy thunderstorm conditions. (more…)

This is about the sale of my American Ironhorse Legend chopper motorcycle.
The AIH Legend looks very similar to their top-selling Texas chopper model. I was lucky enough to own both the Legend and the Texas Chopper for a couple of months. Both these choppers were 2006 models with low approximate 5,000 miles on each. (more…)
360 Vee Rubber tire (street legal), S&S Godzilla engine, Pingel air shifter and some more…. First test run without NOS. 142 hp.
American Ironhorse, Big Bear, Big Dog, and a number of other custom motorcycle manufacturers about five years ago seem to be in a race for who could put the widest tire on their bikes. (more…)
Southern California appreciates the beauty of custom and vintage cars as well as motorcycles. This is quite evident in the good number of local city and neighborhood car and motorcycle shows throughout the summer. (more…)
