Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride
Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride
Is the Insta360 One X the best 360° video camera for your motorcycle rides? Well, in my humble opinion at the current time it definitely is!
This camera is very small fits in your shirt pocket and yet takes stunning 5.7 K video! The best advantage of using a camera like this for your motorcycle rides is the fact that it is like having a camera person riding along with you. You really don’t have to worry about pointing the camera at any particular subject or direction because at 360° camera like this films everything. In the software that the company provides you can then edit the video to show the views that you feel are most interesting.
When watching this video, at times you’ll see that it seems like the camera is floating over my helmet. In reality, the camera is attached with a GoPro type attachment to the helmet. Read more

What chopper rider doesn’t like to look at other cool bikes?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A 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. Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the “Captain America” and “Billy Bike”, seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Read more
Chopper Motorcycles
This is a little video retrospective of some of the chopper motorcycles that I’ve owned over the years.
I grew up on the East Coast and that’s where my passion for high-powered chopper motorcycles began. Actually my first motorcycle was an old 1950 something Harley-Davison with a suicide shift.

k9 Big Dog Motorcycle
k9 Big Dog Motorcycle
The chopper in this video is 2005 Big Dog Ridgeback. This is a rigid frame with a 330mm huge rear tire. As far as rigid frame factory built custom choppers go, I think the Big Dog Ridgeback is one of the best if not the best out there.
Now, when it comes to soft-tales, my two personal favorites are the k9 Big Dog motorcycle and the American Ironhorse Texas Chopper. It’s a shame that most people will never experience riding a high powered, sleek chopper like the k9 or Texas Chopper. Let’s face facts, riding any type of other motorcycle, including any Harley, is only partially experiencing what it’s like to ride one of these over 9 foot long beauties. Read more
