Not sure if anyone here follows the West Coast chopper scene (besides
discovery channel shows) but in case you do, Johnny "Chop" Vasko passed
away. His HardRock bike was just featured on HotBike magazine. It's not
clear what he died from, i've read he had a heart condition.
RIP Johnny, <clink>
Here's a good tribute page from Bikernet.

Didn't he hang out here for awhile? If he's the guy I'm thinking
about he was in Hawaii at the time, then moved to California and
worked with Chica.

Anybody know if it's the same guy?

Damn shame, regardless.

Though I suspect Kenny's going to have something typically pinheaded
to say about that.

The guy that posted as Ivo? I don't think it's the same guy. Johnny
Chop's bio doesn't mention Hawaii or Chica, surely it would if it was
the same guy.
