American Ironhorse Texas Chopper – 10th Anniversary Limited Edition

American Ironhorse Texas Chopper

 Keep in mind, this is a 2005 Texas Chopper! Just 125 10th anniversary Texas Chopper were made!

The one in the video has the S&S 124 ci engine, chrome frame, air suspension  & an open (dry) primary, just to note a few of the differences.

Having owned a number of American Ironhorse Texas Choppers, I can say is the visual aspect of this motorcycle stunning, the ride and handling are quite good for a bike that has an overall length of over nine feet long!

David Mann captures the spirit of the chopper scene so perfectly. The sad thing is that I remember most of these works of art from the motorcycle magazines from the 70’s to the 90s.

Mann really captured the biker lifestyle . . . Love the idea , motorcycles, open road, beautiful women, and freedom! Great images! (more…)

Motorcycle Crash

Motorcyclist Crash

This is what happens when you lock up your front brakes on a motorcycle. Luckily this happened at low speeds.

New riders, PLEASE keep an eye out for stuff like this. This is a common mistake that can turn disastrous, given the wrong circumstance. Watch your follow distances, watch for brake lights, practice your emergency braking. Ride safe everyone.

Motorcyclists gotta understand that any accident you have is your fault. As a motorcyclist you have more to lose than someone in a SUV or car. It does not matter if she hit the brakes early, he needed to ride and give himself enough room for a evasive action. Hopefully he learns to follow at the distance you were riding. (more…)
