Who died and made him king

[DaveM]

I am watching the biker build off series on Discovery channel and I was just wondering who dies and made Hugh King the chopper king :silent:

Hugh King is "The Chopper King," the dispenser of coveted prizes — as well as a particular brand of justice — at motorcycle events around the country. As master of ceremonies at countless chopper events, as well as being co-executive producer of the long-running hit Discovery Channel series Biker Build-Off, King, with his distinctive silver ponytail, is one of the most familiar faces on the custom motorcycle circuit.

Valid question.

I cannot even find any reference of him ever riding or even building a bike h:

To tell the truth, I can barely stand those "chopper" shows and the monstrosities that they build. I suppose those guys can be admired for the talent and imagination they have, but those bikes are too bizarre and practically unrideable.

Rocky, I agree with you. Choppers or not my thing. Now a good bobber is a different story.

 

[Simmer]

I agree with you Rocky.

I enjoy them more for the actual talent these guys have and they produce some awesome looking rides. Not my style but I can sure respect what they do. The great thing is they have to ride the bikes to the event as well and that is normally across about two states so it is quite a distance :y18:
