George Salazar: My name is George Salazar. I'm from Los Angeles, California. And I brought my 2000 Sportster 1200 custom to the show.
TA: Tell us about your Sportster Chopper.
George: I always loved choppers. I sold my old bike after El Diablo, and started from knowing nothing about building a bike. I just went all in and I checked out ChopCult forums. I took some welding classes. I did all the fab work myself. I rewired everything. So shout out to all the home builders that are just like learning as you go. If I could do it, anybody could do it. I heard a lot of good reviews about the Throttle Addiction kit, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I found them at Born-Free 12.
TA: What challenged you the most about the build?
George: I took some welding classes down the street from my house. I wanted to do everything myself. So I went for about six months and learned how to TIG Weld. I just went from there. The fabrication on it, just like me being able to like wrench in my garage. Not knowing anything and picking it up and learning as I go.
