| I, Steve, established Lillian Rose Choppers out of my long time passion for motorcycling and desire to fabricate hard traditional old style motorcycles. I come from an industrial arts background and was previously involved in the trades. The TV chopper craze has made a mockery of the true nature of motorcycling. So I offer a return to the simple heart and soul of motorcycling. Me and my shop buddy George Reynolds dig on working in the shop as a way to hang out and challenge ourselves. We are true motorcycle enthusiasts who build bikes for the positive experience of the artistic and practical creation. After Hours Choppers owner Gabe Kajimura is one of our good friends who is as Hippie Haten a Hillbilly as the rest of us. I work in cooperation with Gabe to bring you, the customer, some additional unique flavor to add to your Motoscoot. Quality is the key, not quantity! Quality does not come cheap, quantity cookie cutter crap does! Support your local garage shops and that 'Anchor Chain' mentality that keeps the rare tradition of old style craftsmanship alive! I dig meeting folks who have offerings in the way of Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. People who can be trusted, deal a fair hand, and keep their word. A hand shake is a gentleman's contract!! Learning from others is a blessing!! Lillian Rose Choppers is a half time venture open by appointment only. We are selective with our bike building style and refuse to build any catalog Chinese parts bikes. If you are looking for a TV chopper or cheap catalog bike, your looking in the wrong place! I hand fabricate parts and engrave parts by special order for raw and creative garage built chops or to personalize any motorcycle. Don't care what type of motorsicle you ride! I am not married to the notion of 'Harley's Only'. Harley's are my personal favorite, but I appreciate all types of bikes. Sorry, I'm not a black leather, chain slingin, Bad Ass obnoxious 'look at me' Harley Warrior. Just a simple man with simple pleasures! I have been humbled by the great experience of living, I know I don't like frauds, and I choose to live with a modest tone! DON'T TREAD ON ME! Lillian Rose Choppers has come to pass from life long relationships with those people who directly impacted Steve's lifestyle and trade interests in so many positive ways. Gregory (Mac) McQueen, Donald Breese, Jay 'General Custer' Paddock, Steve McQueen, Poppy 'The SWEDE', Uncle John, Greg Derse, Phillip 'Tank' Eubanks, Sharony Berger, Jose Figueroa, and all the close family and friends. Especially Greg Derse and Gregory 'Mac' McQueen for providing Steve with rearing and life lessons from Kidhood on up. |
| God Bless AMERICA!!! Support and honor our United States Military!! They fight and die for your freedom! Never forget about the Hero's and those murdered in the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Our enemies are Evil and offer only death, so death is what we should only offer them! Thank the good Lord for our U.S. Army Ranger Bro's and Special Forces for numerous deployments to Afghanistan and around the globe to KILL the enemies of the free world!!!! May God make smooth the paths you follow! The path to Hell is paved with kindness, so be a critical free thinker and don't let them take you alive! |
| PROJECT: Chili Rellenos How do you judge a good Mexican Restaurant? By their Chile Relleno's maybe? Recipe amounts are dependent on the number of Relleno's you will make! 1. Roast Pasillo Peppers over BBQ or open flame, let cool, then peel off the skin. Roast some Jalepeno Peppers as well! 2. Make one 2" to 3" surgical slice into Pasillo and remove seeds with spoon. 3. Sauté' onions, garlic, red peppers (preferably roasted), roasted Jalepeno's and let cool. 4. Shred some Jalepeno Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, Jack, or whatever other cheese you like and mix together. 5. Mix cheese with Sauté in bowl. 6. EGGS (about one for every two Relleno's). Crack those suckers and separate out the yolks. Whip the egg whites til fluffed then add flour and whip again. Add sea salt to taste and whip again. Then fold in the Yolks! 7. Heat about two inches of Canola Oil in 10" frying pan. 8. Hold Pasillo Peppers over cheese mix bowl and stuff with cheese mix. Pack them good, they won't bust open if your careful. 9. Roll Relleno's in egg batter mix and then place in hot oil open side down. FRY BABY FRY! Give it a minute then flip to the other side. FRY! 10. Remove from hot oil and place on rack over baking sheet. Since you have the Charcoal BBQ going for roasting, may as well toss on some good marinated steak and enjoy everything with a Negra Modelo! |

| I am not what most people would call a typical 'Biker'. In fact, I'm not sure I am a BIKER at all. I am not really even sure of the definition, but I can tell you this; I believe in God, I have Faith, I have solid moral standing, and I live with Aloha!! I have nothing in common with 'Bad Ass Biker Wanna Be Circus Clowns' and I do not like the whole shallow loud pipe, ear drum busting music, belligerent Harley event scene. The typical commercialized Harley event scene is boring, unproductive, and annoying. Here is the scene: A bunch of unshaven guys on high dollar bikes, dressed in black leather with pins and patches everywhere walking around a parking lot like Zombies thinking they are the coolest hard core mothers around. Drinking beer with loud obnoxious live band in the background and some irritating MC at the microphone talking junk! Then there is the t-shirt raffle, the t-shirt vendors, the guys walking around with bags of t-shirts they just bought, and guys showing off their death skull eagle t-shirts. It's all about t-shirts and 'IF YOU CAN READ THIS THE BITCH FELL OFF' Crap! If the BITCH fell off, first off she would be seriously injured or dead, you would have to mortgage your home to pay the emergency room bill, lives would be shattered, and you may even go to jail because your drunk ass was riding while intoxicated. I do not give out my shop address to anyone except friends and those who have passed the bar of trust. It is too bad that a few bad people acting stupid and making poor decisions shed a poor light on the rest of us honest folks who really have a passion for motorcycling and passion for fabricating unique machines. I have a small group of good friends who are respectable folks. They work hard for a living and we share the fruits of our labor with each other. They are honest and true. They are the types that would give all for people they do not even know, under the appropriate circumstances. They have nothing to hide and are trustworthy. Outside this circle, I trust few to no one! Other than that, I do enjoy fun and good times like everyone else. I am friendly to most everyone and go out of my way to help those who least expect it. In essence, I truly wish the best for everyone and only hope that my fellow mankind will walk a righteous path and not allow greed or ill temptation to guide them. FORTUNATELY, for all the years LRC has been around, the shop has attracted nearly all superb folks and great customers. I thank you all for being so kind and easy to work with! Have a Happy New Year, and a Happy Life! If you like Obama or the left wing whacko socialist types, get the hell away from this place as fast as you can! No TWEEKers No Criminals No Gangs No Feds No Left Wingers No Alphabet People No Trespassers No Hippies OH! And if you want to see a good TV program, watch HELL ON WHEELS on AMC. |
