So most of you probably remember the awesome scraper bike video that has been featured in several threads. Well, here is the story behind those bikes. Pretty cool:

a guy that used to work at our shop actually bought the cd of the group that did that scraper bike video off of their myspace site. about 6 weeks later he got a message from one of the rappers named B-Janky and told him that they had to refund his money but didnt say why. we were very upset.

Last time I was on Mick's radio show, we played the Scraper Bikes song, and right afterwards some guy called in to ask what song it was and who performed it.
