Product Description From the directors of the award-winning motorcycle movies "Choppertown: The Sinners" and "Brittown" comes a new motorcycle fabrication adventure. Two years in the making, the Harbortown Bobber follows the ground-up build of Scott DiLalla's '69 bobber. Review The best motorcycle movie to date. --Lisa Ballard, Cycle Source Magazine<br \><br \>Night shirt, check. Slippers, check. Monkey pillow, check. Harbortown Bobber DVD in the player, double freaking check!!! Lets get ready to Ruuummmble!!! --Matt and Dean, DicE magazine<br \><br \>We've reviewed several documentaries from One World Studios (ChopperTown: The Sinners, Brittown, etc). They were all good documentaries of folks around the country who make and ride choppers. But this one is different, since it has a personal touch to it. The documentary is about one of the movie directors, Scott Di Lalla, who build up his own bopper, the Harbortown Bobber. Using a 69 Triumph TR6c bobber (just the frame really, nothing left on the motorcycle, and the engine of a '71 Triumph 650), Scott visits the country's gurus of customization, and uses their expertise to make his own bobber. It took 2 years to build the motorcycle, but now Scott has his own beauty. The documentary follows the trial & tribulations of the bike build, with interviews of the builders, interspersed with (mostly rock) music. As motorcycle documentaries go, this one is Discovery Channel material. It's a step-by-step on how to make your own...for all budding or confirmed motorcycle builders, but not OCC style, but real style. These bikes are meant to ride, not for exhibitions. Great stuff. --motorbiker.orgNight shirt, check. Slippers, check. Monkey pillow, check. Harbortown Bobber DVD in the player, double freaking check!!!

Good but left me wanting more. If you liked Choppertown, you'll dig this.
First of all, i did enjoy this film and felt i got my moneys worth. That being said, Harbortown Bobber has big shoes to fill if you've already seen Choppertown and especailly Brittown, the two previous films by Scott and Zac at One World Studios. Choppertown is great, and Brittown is simply fantastic, though i do admit a bias to vintage triumphs and dirtbikes in general. This doc seems to be trying to be a "how to" video for the garage builder without actually getting to far into the process itself, or the "lifestyle" of the west coast bike scene without doing either all to completely. The balance found in Brittown just doesnt seem to be found here. I guess that would be my complaint if i had one. Overall though i think it makes a good addition on my shelf next to Choppertown and Brittown and look forward to seeing more films by these guys. Zac and Scott have done something purely through there own will and drive and i applaud them for it. Thanks, guys, your videos make getting through a hard Minnesota winter a little bit easier.

Well done! Finally a good movie about a bobber and the great people involved in it's creation! Watch now!
Worth the watch! One of the best movies of this type I have seen yet. Very grassroots/organic film making that does not have that phonier-than-all-get-out Hollywood scripted feel to it. Some really cool old-schoolers and even some inspired younger heads all come together to help build this guy's dream bobber and it's nice! I definitely learned a few things to try with my newest build. Even if you don't wrench, if you're into custom motorcycles or any custom culture really this is a very cool ride. Kudos OneWorld!

Bobber
Great video for guys who like to tool around with old bikes; if this is something that interests you, it's highly recommended. It can even be a bit motivational if you happen to have a project bike in your garage. I also enjoyed the fact that all of the action is set nearby where I live, they often show the same cranes and harbor that hovers in the background here which does make the film more enjoyable than those set in Arizona or on the East Coast. So, is you are a So Cal vintage bike fan, you really should buy this video!

A great bike build that gets you to know the people involved
While I would have preferred to see more of the build and less of the people the balance was quite good and you felt like you were a part of their fun in building the bike. The resulting bike was beautiful and had some really nice details that many of today's more commercial bike builders skip over.

Its No Choppertown
as my review title says...its no Choppertown.Choppertown was awesome and I was expecting that greatness from this dvd as well. I would say that Choppertown was a lucky lightning strike for the creators of these movies. Nothing else ive seen from this team even comes close to Choppertown.That being said...maybe Choppertown was so good that it is unfair to compare the rest of their movies to it?In summary: Buy Choppertown if you havnt yet.Here's the link: Choppertown: the Sinners Then come back and buy this one if you want :)

Well Done Ducumentary
Watched this after viewing the 'Choppertown the Sinners' docu. Both are well made docus with very good production values. Great peek and insights into the world of custom bikes and the biker life. For anyone that rides and finds value in creating your own expression of a motorcycle.

They had a very clear vision of what they wanted the bike to be and they pulled in the best they could find for it!!anyone that loves motorcycles and moto fabrication will appreciate some of the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail of this film.buy it!!!

Not exactly what I was expecting. This turned out ...
Not exactly what I was expecting. This turned out to be a 'dirty' version of OC Choppers with little to no insight to how things were machined etc. Some of the stories they were telling between the stages of the bike, while interesting on their own right, didn't tie in well with the overall build.

Present.
This was another present for my Biker Son who said it was really good and well worth watching. I havent actually seen it yet so I base my review on his comments.

nice bike at the end though that kind just appears ...
Forget this movie...buy CHOPPERTOWN The Sinners instead...haven`t stopped playing that one but doubt if I`d ever watch this one again...no humour and so slow...nice bike at the end though that kind just appears finished...shame as I have been looking forward to seeing this for years.
