Old School Chopper – Harley Chopper
Old School Choppers – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
In the post-World War II United States, servicemen returning home from the war started removing all parts deemed too big, heavy, ugly, or not essential to the basic function of the motorcycle, such as fenders, turn indicators, and even front brakes. The large, spring-suspended saddles were also removed in order to sit as low as possible on the motorcycle’s frame. These machines were lightened to improve performance for dirt-track racing and mud racing. In California dry lake beds were used for long top speed runs. Motorcycles and automobiles ran at the same meets, and bobbers were an important part of the hotrod culture that developed in this era. Read more 
S&S Motorcycle Old School Buildoff
S&S Motorcycle Engine Old School Buildoff
This video is the conclusion of the S&S Old School Shovelhead buidoff.
Personally, being into custom choppers for many many years, I think the S&S motorcycle engine is without a doubt, the best the twin motorcycle engine available! I’ve seen many custom-built choppers where one-of-a-kind rolling art work creations look magnificent but for some unknown reason the builder decided to put in some imported, dubious quality the twin engine.

Radical Motorcycles – Custom Motorcycles
Very Cool Radical Motorcycles!
Just the wildest bunch of bikes I have ever seen. Pure art and mechanical genius.
Powerful art on wheels! tthe reason you don’t see more radical custom bikes like this is really quite simple, they cost big bucks to put together. Not even counting the time in designing and workmanship, parts chrome plating,, custom fabrication and naturally a custom paint job can easily set you back tens of thousands of dollars. Personally, I doubt that you’d ever recoup the real cost put into one of these unique custom motorcycles. Read more
American Ironhorse Texas Choppers
American Ironhorse Texas Choppers ride up to Mount Laguna and Julian CA.
My 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper and Eric’s 2004 Texas Chopper. A November San Diego ride up to Julian California which is northeast of San Diego and about a mile high in elevation.
Julian is a very popular motorcycle riding destination in San Diego. If you ride east out of Julian down the banner grade you leave the tree covered hillsides for typical desert scenery. You can ride around granite mountain on S2 (the Great Southern Overland Stage Route) as you head out toward Ocotillo at the junction of Highway 8. now, depending on your time you can just head back to San Diego on eight as you climb up from the desert floor heading west.

Chopper Ride
Chopper Ride
European choppers riding on the highway. These are some very special wicked looking choppers.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in the United States in the mid-1960s. 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

Custom Chopper Builder
Custom Chopper Builder – Tom Fugle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The first choppers were built in America, and were an outgrowth of the milder customization trend that had originated after WW2 when returning soldiers and others began modifying cars and motorcycles, frequently to improve performance in top-speed races on dry lake beds in Southern California and similar desolate spaces such as unused airstrips in other parts of the country, or on the street for street racing. These early modified motorcycles were known as “bobbers”, and there are many common features between bobbers and choppers, with choppers differentiated being more radically modified, and especially by having the frame tubes and geometry modified (“chopped” by welding) to make the bike longer.

History Chopper Motorcycle
The El Forastero segment of history chopper motorcycle from the Discovery Channel.
I have so much respect for the older generations. If you couldn’t do it yourself, then you didn’t have it … nowadays everything is handed to you which makes people lazy and idiotic. Back then you had leaders…people who fought for something, now…all people care about is a damn Facebook status. So much respect for these guys.
Below are a few chopper motorcycle photos, enjoy: Read more
