Wishing You All New Adventures this Halloween

Of course Frankenstein rides a chopper… from Lowbrow Customs When it comes to motorcycles, there is a lot of tacky stuff out there. We wanted to create some motorcycle-related Halloween photos that weren’t hokey and share them with you all. Several of us donned some classic movie monster costumes and enjoyed some time in a local graveyard… Frankenstein (Tyler), Bride of Frankenstein (Amanda) with a 1975 Harley Shovelhead chopper and and a Werewolf (Todd) on his Triumph bobber. We hope you enjoy them! PS – We’ve been putting small posters of one of these photos (as well as some candy) in Lowbrow Customs orders all month, and will keep doing so until we run out!
