This weekend is Big Twin West at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas Nevada. It's an industry event for custom motorcycle builders and accessory manufacturers. We're not either of those, but we know a good bike show when we see one. We've picked out five of our favorite motorcycles from the show which you'll see if you continue reading. That's not all; have a look at our Flickr photo set to see 133 photos from the show. If you're in the Las Vegas area, you can see these bikes in person Sunday December 3rd when the show opens to the public for $15 admission.

Top Banana was built by legendary builder Arlen Ness for an episode of Biker Build-Off. The team only had 10 days to complete the project. Arlen and his son Cory are the guests of honor this year. Their display features nearly 40 bikes spanning many generations.

Anamorphic was built by Jaxon Fyffe of Wild Card Customs. We love the paint detail on this bike and the incredibly low saddle.

Bruiser was built by Justin Collier of Colliers Custom Cycle. The minimal racer look of this bike is great and it has a lot of small touches like putting the ignition switch in one of the bar ends.

Metric Envy was built by Viking Motorcycle Co. It has a friction drive for the rear wheel, front and rear air suspension, and a Honda VTX 1800 engine.

The Rat Bike was built by Paul Stewart of Dynamic Chopper. The fuel tanks are made from old fire extinguishers.

Those are our picks. Don't forget to check out all of the other photos and pick out a favorite of your own.

I would love to own any of them and soon I will be able to afford all of them. I need to talk with Mayor Oscar Goodman ASAP. Tell him Nicky Scarfo is going to get upset if he doesn't have someone pay my phone bill. I have protected Nicky and Bobby Simone and the head of the mob in NYC because I value life and because any friend of Jennifer Ellis is a friend of mine, as long as nobody doesn't get hurt. I protect life always.

Bob Jones threatend to have Jennifer killed and her connection with Danny Sr. would not go over well in Manhatten or in Palo Alto
where Bob Jones's business is. Bob is a very bad man and he owes Jennifer Ellis more than 10 million dollars to this day that I know of. She called me the other day and told me her attorney wants out of the case. What kind of man is Tom Girardi for taking the word of Bob Jones over Jennifer Ellis and me. This link might explain that http://www.mold-help.org/content/view/218/ .

I hope I get enough money soon so I can sue Mr. Girardi and Bob Jones and give all that money to Jennifer and her family, especially Tommy and Simone and Angel. The last two names are cats that mean alot to me in this court case.

Signed,
An American Patriot who protected Jennifer Ellis, Phil Spector's
secret fiancee which he fell deeply in love with her right after the murder of Lana Clarkson, which he didn't do. Jennifer and I know the truth and Roger Rosen does too but Bruce Cutler wants the money and fame only and he did threaten my life along with Jennifer's due to knowing the truth about who really killed Lana Clarkson and also because he did nothing for his mentor Bobby Simone when he got out of Nellis for serving time for a crime he didn't do. Jennifer spent all her money to help Bobby and she did that because she is a good friend to him and she has a deep appreciation of the motto. "Respect Earned is Respect Received"

That is a kind of Friendship Jennifer offers,
That is very special, I will get you an attorney
Mother Nature, don't worry anymore. I hope you like Jane.
We are going to get married and have children. Yes I am
fertile again. God made the vasectomy that my wife demanded I
have reverse itself, which I did freely because I saw the pain and anguish my ex-wife went through when we almost lost David, our son the day he was born. Amy needs some real phychological help to deal with that experisnce and her family is cruel about it. You never tell someone its nothing when it comes to losing or almost losing a life you have carried in your womb for ten months.

That is another reason I defended the 22 people and made the decision to go away from my family. Life is precious and the needs of the many outweighed the needs of the few.

My god my whole life is like the movies.
