The best thing to happen to the wheel since sliced bread! wait... that doesn't make sense. well thats ok, neither do these wheels. there is an art exhibit coming to Ocala called ''Art of the Chopper'' this is one of them... and i cant figure how how these wheels work... i feel like a caveman, haha


The name of the bike is "Holy Roller"
