Russell Mitchell's Exile, The Anti-Chopper Chopper
Exile in the USA
Fast forward five years later to this one. Russell made it for John Mellencamp during the height of the neo-chopper craze. Street Chopper was a monthly publication by then and celebrities were stepping out of the woodwork to get high-dollar custom chops. Mellencamp wasn't some fad rider, though. He was a longtime bike enthusiast with more than 35 years on the road. Evolution over that first fire-gilded barhopper is obvious; this fatty sports the shineless look that's Exile's hallmark. What's more, a lot more of the parts were made by Russell's shop than on the earlier cycle. View Related Article
