Advanced Chopper Shop participants Mike and Clarence had a chance to show their custom bikes off at this year’s Los Magnificos 27th Annual Car and Bike Show .  On Sunday we took a field trip to see the guys’ bikes and to check out the Car Show.  We saw a lot of amazing work, got some good inspiration, and had a great time!  Thanks to Jon Chuck and everyone from Los Magnificos for entering us in the contest and putting on a great show.

Danny, Chris Bailey and Deshon James had a great time attending the art opening at the Art Car Museum on September 12.

You can view the  Stretch Limo Go Cart, made by Chris,  on display in ‘Planes,Trains, Motorcycles and Automobiles’ at the Art Car Museum 140 Heights Boulevard

Directly following the End of Summer Barbeque on August 1st, all Workshop Houston programs will be closed until Monday, August 31st. Sorry for any inconvenience and see you in September!

In May, we enjoyed riding in the Art Car Parade. This year we brought out some new bicycles and the Stretch Limo Go Cart, a go cart made by two students in Chopper Shop.

If you have any photos from the parade please send them to us.

We had a brief mention in this weekend’s Chronicle.  Columnist Lisa Gray lists Workshop Houston’s Chopper Shop as an indisputably good thing as part of her ‘A Dozen Happy Thoughts about Houston column’.    See the article here: A Dozen Happy Thoughts About Houston

Here are some awesome new bikes from Chopper Shop.  Sorry its taken so long to get these pictures up, look for more regular updates in the future.
