Paul Jr. Designs new bike unveil in Daytona!

Paul Jr. Designs does it again with a new bike build for CrankyApe.com! During a week of fabulous weather, bikes, beaches and babes. Paul Jr. and the Discovery Channel unveiled a new bike at J&P Cycles Superstore at Destination Daytona. The lucky client of this beautiful blue machine is CrankyApe.com. The unveil started with Mikey riding in on a red vespa in,wearing an Ape suit. Mikey introduced Vinnie - who rode in on a PJD customized Fatboy. The Fatboy was bought by Mikey,customized by Vinnie and it is to be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to a charity. Then to great fanfare he introduced his brother,Paul Jr. who rode in on the Cranky Ape bike. Customary with all PJD designs, a lot of work was put in to the details. From the Cranky Ape logo stitched into the seat, the barbed wire wheels and the Cranky Ape colors, this bike was beautiful from head to toe. Stay tuned for more great work from PJD!
