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
