    Metier Moto Show | Episode 6 | Ryan Gore of Paper Street Customs

    Ep. 6 | Ryan Gore of Paper Street Customs: From Daytona to OCC to Building Award Winning Choppers in His Home Garage Host Brad Columbus sits down with Ryan Gore, the builder behind Paper Street Customs, in the Colorado home garage where he fabricates, manufactures and ships everything he makes. Raised in Grand Junction by a Shovelhead-riding dad, Ryan was headed for a career in technical writing until an episode of Motorcycle Mania in a St. Louis hotel room sent him straight to motorcycle school instead. Since then, bikes have taken him from the Daytona chopper boom to Big Bear Choppers, Dubai, Hungary, Switzerland and a season on camera with Paul Teutul Sr. at Orange County Choppers. Along the way, his custom builds have landed on magazine covers and his raffled parts have raised more than $25,000 for the Salem Toy Run in Salem, Oregon.
