You have undoubtedly seen Trotta's custom choppers on the Discovery Channel's Biker Build-Off series or maybe caught them in person on the Hard Rock Custom Bikes Tour. His designs are so distinctive that the National Geographic Channel is planning to explore them. When a photographer puts a bikini-clad woman in the saddle of one of these bikes, a funny thing occurs: Your eyes go to the bike first and then to the woman. Then, your sight gets blurry and you can't tell the difference between the woman and the bike. "I always design my bikes with a waistline as it is," Trotta says. "And then the fat tire in the back becomes the big butt." You know those glossy coffee-table books that weigh, like, two tons? Well, one titled Choppers: Heavy Metal Art lists Trotta in its legends section, along with such motorcycle-world stars as Indian Larry Desmedt. "Back before 1995, before all this Discovery Channel stuff, people thought I was in a chopper rut," Trotta says. "It was like, 'What the fuck are you building?' " Today, the legend is shuffling among the cardboard displays in the showroom of Thunder Cycle Design's new $2 million, 30,000-square-foot location at 550 W. Sunrise Blvd., in Fort Lauderdale. With a half-dozen bikes always sunbathing out front, the dealership is impossible to miss.
