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 »

Motorcycles Custom, Radical

Motorcycles Custom, Radical

It’s always nice to look at some very cool looking motorcycles. Personally, there’s no disputing that these are some very custom radical  motorcycles, but, I wonder how many of them are truly practical to ride?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

A custom motorcycle is a motorcycle with stylistic and/or structural changes to the ‘standard’ mass-produced machine offered by major manufacturers. Custom motorcycles might be unique, or built in limited quantities. While individual motorcyclists have altered the appearance of their machines since the very first days of motorcycling, the first individualized motorcycles specifically labeled ‘Custom’ appeared in the late 1950s, around the same time as the term was applied to custom cars.

Jesse James vs Orange County Choppers

More precisely this should be American Chopper vs. Jesse James. Anyone who’s been into choppers for any length of time that has seen the TV segments from American Chopper and Jesse James, would really have to wonder if this contest was fixed. But then again, perhaps it was dominated by motorcycle chopper wannabes who were more impressed by bling versus substance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The 21st Century: Reality television

 The millennium began with the cable TV network The Discovery Channel creating a number of television shows around several custom bike builders who built choppers. The first, the 2000 special Motorcycle Mania, followed builder Jesse James of Long Beach, California, and is credited with creating “a new genre of reality TV” around choppers.

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.
