Before choppers, there was the bobber. When American-brand motorcycle owners needed to change their rear tires decades ago, the rear fender featured a hinge near its center that would flip up to make room for the tire to be removed. At some point ,an enterprising rider decided to permanently remove the hinged rear portion of the fender - shortening the fender like the "bobbed" hair cuts popular during those days - or so the theory goes. The tradition of stripping down to a bike's bare essence and celebrating its simpler forms - making a bobber - was begun.

Country all across the USA: But Gilbert, after years of touring, has had considerable success with his single Country Must Be Country Wide , a rock-infused track that takes him far outside Jefferson. The song — which has sold more than 160,000 downloads, despite nearly no exposure on country radio — celebrates the fact that there are country fans all over the nation, not just in particular regions.

"I wrote it with (fellow country artists) Colt Ford and Mike Dekle, and we had just got done touring. We had gone a little more north and northwest than we'd ever gone before, and we just started to notice that even people up North were a lot like us — that there were some country people up North, too, and they needed a little bit of country credit.
