2018 Hot Bike Tour Invited Builder Chris Eder
GEICO Hot Bike Tour Invited Builder Chris Eder grew up loving motorcycles from a very early age (platonically, not Biblically). Like all good custom cycle creators, his enthusiasm drove him into taking the plunge and making a career of what he so enjoyed doing. His style is one of stripped-down bikes that are meant to be ridden; trailer queens aren’t his bag, baby. In the past, we’ve seen naked baggers shorn of even their luggage capacity come out of him. Now, though, he seems to be in the midst of a chopper project. We don’t know what he’s bringing to the tour in October yet, but we do know it’ll be a very cool custom machine. If you’re signed on to ride with us, you will have the privilege of finding out when the Epic Moto Co. boss shows it to us.
