That's awesome !!! Don't believe that I would want to ride it for more than a mile or two at a pop ... but cool engineering none the less.

Doesn't look like a german plate ... not sure where it is from.

I'd so own that thing. I ain't good at metal work but wood work I'm decent at. Thanks spunbearing, now you've given my brain even more things to think about.

I ran a check point at a poker run about ten years ago. This was the 3rd checkpoint and about 150 miles into the poker run. Guys pulls in to get a card riding a chopped Harley. The rear wheel/axle was held on by a pair of vice grips Big kahunas, little brain.

HaHa. Some guy at work who rides a bike brought that picture in the other day. We hung it up in the locker room, I wrote "Stone Age Chopper" under it w/ a sharpie.

Not quite what I was expecting, but nonetheless extremely amusing, I guess a figured "no offense to the aforementionded demographic" that a red neck vehicle would have had more chicken wire and duct tape on it (oops!!) I just might confused over our own red neck Red Green AKA Mr. Duct Tape himself.

Here's a little Blue Light for ya Cheers.

I especially like the custom springer front end. It looks like a couple of rear shocks off of an old honda or something.

I think they shot some Iraqi off that thing right before the pic was taken. It probably had a machine gun mounted on the back. Home-made, no doubt.

Or, rather, it's the first thing that you have to be concerned about... Or something like that.


First of all, that bike has a horn; no self-respecting chopper has a horn. Second of all, that bike has no front brakes; now, THAT is hard-core, but since older Harleys rely on car bumpers to stop half the time anyways, it isn't really as bad as it looks. It get's props for a springer front end and no front fender, but looses a LOT of points for missing a second cylinder. I mean, I don't think you can call anything with only one cylinder a chopper. The strangest thing about the bike in my mind is that it doesn't seem to have a transmission...
