Thanks to TAZZ from South Carolina for submitting photos of his kick-ass '77 Shovel. TAZZ's bike is this month Bike of the Month. Now for the best part, TAZZ built this hot ride himself! We have much respect for those who built what they ride. TAZZ's bike will soon be appearing in THE HORSE Backstreet Choppers magazine.

(where TAZZ works & paints bikes) I eat sleep and
work on motorcycles, we have a great crew......check out our site. I did most of
the work on my bike myself, before I transformed my Shovel it was the ugliest bike in 2 counties. The
transformation took me 6 mths., with a lot of long nights after work. Very
special Thanks to The Crew at C&C THUNDER for the help I received with my bike" TAZZ
