Dallas Chopper Ride

Chopper Motorcycle Ride Dallas Texas

The motor is a custom built S&S 111 Evo with Panhead style Rocker Covers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (“chopped”) or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger” or very short “drag” handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The “sissy bar”, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers.

Motorcycle Pants vs Regular Jeans

Motorcycle Safety Test – Motorcycle Pants vs Regular Jeans

Motorcycle Riding Pants really do save your skin in a slide. I never used to wear protective motorcycle riding jeans. But, I guess when you get older you become a little more sensible and realize that just like wearing a seatbelt in a car, it’s kind of a pain but if you are in an accident, you would want to be without it.

Motorcycle Pants vs Regular Jeans. Who will prevail? Safety vs arguable style? Hint: Safety wins. Always. (more…)

360° Motorcycle Ride

360° Motorcycle Ride

Big Dog k9 motorcycle, American Ironhorse LSC and Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 360° video ride in San Diego California.

This 360° motorcycle video was done with a Insta360 One X camera. This camera does NOT move. All the movement was done in post-production. Keep in mind that this video camera was mounted on my Big Dog k9 chopper. So, there was a lot of vibration. Yet, the built-in stabilization did a great job of making the video smooth! (more…)

Chopper motorcycle DIY maintenance

Chopper motorcycle DIY maintenance

I’m talking about do-it-yourself maintenance for chopper motorcycles but, all these motorcycle checks would apply to almost any other motorcycle. as well.

Keep in mind, It’s little things like these checks and maintenance that can keep you from being stuck on the side of the highway on some lonely mountain road. But not only that, doing motorcycle maintenance for yourself will save you quite a bit of money compared to bringing it into the dealer, and also, provides great satisfaction in knowing that you were able to do it and that it’s been done correctly.

California Harley Davidson Demo Days

California Harley Davidson Demo Days

This San Diego motorcycle event took place at San Diego Harley Davidson. these demo days are really a great opportunity to compare the bike your riding with the latest model Harley.

It used to be that when you thought about Harley you thought about a real big motorcycle saddlebags windshield and unfortunately a huge price. Now, these bikes are still around, but to try to gain market share, I believe the low end of the Harley line starts at 500cc and under $7000! For their top-of-the-line bikes, Harley has their 1,923cc touring bikes that weigh in around 940 pounds, and will set you back around $43,000!

Well, these demo days are great way to get a feel for the new motorcycles without having to spend a dime! Personally, if I was considering spending around 40 grand for new motorcycle, you bet I’m going to ride that bike to be sure it’s the one for me! (more…)
