The engine's twinylinders continued to thump as the door slid closed, and the windows win-dows in Davy Jones Locker shimmied with the pulses.

"We've got all sizes!" The motorsports showroom, located off State Street at 2000 West, has not officially opened its doors, but, Yama said, people are coming in, gawking, and peering through the windows with a curiosity that choppers bring. "We've got a lot of people who see the bikes from the street and want to see because of all the TV shows and stuff," he said. "We've already sold four bikes."

Yama points to boxes on the floor, stating that they also will have a full-apparel line to accessorize riders, too.

"We see a lot of people who want to get away, relax, out in the open air," he said. "We're not seeing just the bad boy image im-age rider any more." Custom bikes vary in price from $7,000 to $50,000.
