About Me

Rogue Choppers was founded in 1998 by Donnie Bittman, following a bitter divorce.
I am originator of the Illusion Motorcycle Company of America which was the first
of the Harley clone production bikes and I have the magazine articles to prove it.
Illusion was formed in 1993 in Lemon Grove, San Diego.
I have been in more magazines than anyone in that last 10 years of building bikes.
I was yelling at my employees before it was cool.
I'm sure you've all heard the old saying about "it's hard to get good help".
It was true then and it's still true today. Go Paul Senior!
I have over 40 years of bike building experience.
My bikes may not be super fancy or imaginative but they can and are
being ridden thousands of miles by countless riders all over the world.
I do my own welding, painting and fabricating.
The parts used to build these bikes are from the best suppliers in the industry.
This means that you can get your bike worked on and parts replaced almost anywhere by any Harley certified mechanic.
This photo, taken at an EasyRiders Bike Show was like "old home week".
It represents just some of the best in this business.
I've known some of them for more than 30 years.
Rick Fairless - star of "Texas Hardtails" was one of my Illusion dealers way back when.
Love the show Rich! Keep it up.

Donnie Bittman is known and has been for many years, by the best builders in the country.
