Bike & Builder ep1 - Jeff Cochran Speed King (watch full episode)

Three builders, three styles, one passion. Bike & Builder: the Road to Mama Tried is a new series from the creators of Choppertown. Far from the standard reality TV format, this show takes viewers into the minds and hearts of three very different custom motorcycle builders from across the USA as they prepare their newest creations for the Mama Tried Motorcycle Show in Milwaukee, WI.
Jeff Cochran builds bobbers. Stripped-down, kick-ass bobbers. Widely known as co-founder of Sucker Punch Sally’s, he now works from a private shop in rural Indiana building his special brand of choppers for the working man. He approaches each build with a jeweler’s eye and has his shop set up like a one-man factory assembly line. In this episode of Bike & Builder take an intimate voyage with Jeff into the shop of your dreams.

Probably the best bike builder of our generation.....in my opinion.

[@knowbody9679]

100%. I just stumbled onto this dude. Best style in the game

[@bendaves77]

Jeff builds some of the cleanest and beautiful choppers.

[@kimberlydelgado9795]

Jeff comes across as a real good guy. Nothing arrogant about him even though he is a world-renowned bike builder. Very humble and unassuming. Great pick for the first episode.

Livin the dream Jeff…. Beautiful work and beautiful homestead to do it.

[@veteran234]

[@obedyahujryahuah2454]

I’m now disabled, retired and so sad, I miss my 2002 Dyna bobber. So glad I took my last ride from my home in E. TN to my Rez in Talihina OK and back. Sorry, but bobber mentioning brought tears.

[@anthonyboyce6321]

Peaceful and doing what you love,that so awesome

[@neiluscook2283]

This is a classic documentary! My compliments on the writing, editing, filming, and the easy full treatment of the subject; who is a Stone Cold Builder!! I know he's built more than Indian Larry, but still reminds me of the SIMPLE MEANS MORE work that Larry did. Inspiring. The meaning of the Ride, comes through with pure eloquence. Thanks a bunch 😊

[@rogercrouch5866]

Love the bikes ! And words of wisdom .

[@leonardruiz81]

Jeff is probably one of the most influential builders in the last 20 years, for the guys who started cutting up their own bikes. He is ground zero for (how it's done) His humbleness, work ethic, less is more approach. You can tell his builds a mile away... & that's not something that comes easily when applying the less is more approach! IMO, he is the GOAT!

[@FTW1374]

In the early 2000s used to have photos of Jeffs bikes that i tore out of magazines and put in file folder as examples of the perfect looking choppers and bobbers, been captivated by his bikes ever since. I started building again after a 15 year hiatus and i just came across this film im inspired all over again!

[@leowhite9873]

Yeah baby!!! finally .😎🧡NZ

[@Vincent-ud4jq]

His talent and dedication to the custom bike world are unequaled! Nothing but the best comes from Jeff! God bless ya!

[@JohnRoss-ps4vh]

You have a great wife very supportive hope much more success for you and your family God bless

[@chevymc6611]

Hits the soul and makes you wanna go out and ride and enjoy life and beautiful motorcycles

[@papawpaul]

I've always looked up to Jeff Cochran, Indian Larry and David Mann. It's still a bucket list wish to own a Sucker Punch

[@denverfowler5290]

REALLY ADMIRE YOUR WORK JEFF , I"'M PRETTY JEALOUS AS WELL , Certainly Wish I had someone to push me like Mrs . Beverly . Great Work Ethic Sir ! Denver

[@koolhandlukemakemyday8812]

Man, I’m really digging your bikes and your demeanor as well! Total Badazz! 👍🏻😎

[@westcoast3595]

Honest, hard work, and fair works.

[@blakeslater4914]

Got suggested this story on YT. I met Jeff just once 20 years ago in North Cincy. I lived in the neighborhood across the street and stopped in his driveway on my sportbike at the beginning of his SPS days. It's great to complete that story after SPS moved West. Congrats Jeff, still love your clean and simple bikes for riders!

[@brentmillsop6355]

Imagine living a few hundred years and healthy, without the extreme aging issue's. How good could a guy get at his trade? Awesome.

[@lennyboy57]

A true Artist! Love his work someday I will own a work of art. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@gregorykucera4235]

Fabulous bike ,3 foot away would be something I bet ,thanks for this video.

[@bornodnoc1034]

Cheers!

[@edwinclark5041]

I call this man probably over 10 years ago. With a question. This guy takes much more time to explain something than he had too. He is the class of that industry in my opinion. Great to know he's doing well.

[@SwiftyMcVeigh851]

His SpeedKing bike was amazing....

[@maxthomson2096]

perfection mate ,, all the best from down here in Australia

[@scottpetrie8707]

Hell yeah! Great content here guys

[@881qyk]

This is very well done. I really appreciated the last bit of dialogue where he describes how wonderful his wife is. Most guys that are married experience a different kind of life when it comes to motorcycles. He got a special, rare woman. I can’t even ride on Sundays without being threatened with divorce 💔

[@bryonkidder6199]

Bravo!

[@thektmkid6990]

I'll be completely honest, I haven't heard off Jeff before with only just getting into choppers, but wow what an all round great guy 👏

[@toddclark332]

My kind of perfect bike❤ funny how a great woman can do that 😁👍

[@danielosmon]

Thanks for sharing

[@joezambrano696]

O.m.g amazing man right on

[@danielburke4113]

I remember when you were on the the cover of The Horse years (decades?) ago.

[@williaminnes7574]

Jeff does outstanding work and creates superb builds. His work ethic, ideas and humble nature put him at the top of his chosen profession. I’ve dealt with Jeff in the past and he’s a cool, level headed and very fair man to deal with … 🔥🔥🔥🤝

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

I may order a bike from him. This guy is legit

[@efamado]

Very cool!!!

[@westcoast3595]

Gotsta ad. I love work truck

[@ronniedeciantis1978]

I remember when they showed their first bikes at Easyrider show in Columbus in early 90’s or mid or late , let me tell you a lot of nice bikes back then but those Sucker Punch bikes knocked me out , wish he never sold that name

[@jasonconnor2440]

Awesome video really enjoyed it

[@larry902]

[@johncorreia9041]

Remarkable couple, less is more!

[@hotdogunit]

[@michaelbiase9142]

I would be honored to ride a bike built by Jeff . I would love for home to build me a bike but it maybe a pipe dream
