Tyler Guidry's 1963 Panhead Chopper

 Tyler Guidry has been a loyal ChopCult member since 2013. He first started selling his brand, Tough Luck, through the classified section back in the day. His design work is spot-on, and his apparel line is quality made. Over the years, many companies have commissioned Tyler for help with their shirt designs. His downtime is spent mostly with his wife Leslie and their beautiful daughter Virginia, as well as kicking back with his brother Trey. When he’s not spending quality time with them, you can find him shredding the streets of Columbus, Ohio on this sweet machine. I hope you enjoy Orange CruShit as much as I do.-Lisa

Any building or riding story or info you'd like to include: just a really fun, smaller sized Harley ripper. My favorite bike I’ve built to date; super comfortable, and gets me where I need to go.

Thanks to all the guys I share a shop space with for keeping me motivated. Everyone who gives me compliments on the bike and tells me it inspires them. And of course Lisa at ChopCult for always supporting myself and the chopper/bike community that I love.-Tyler
