I haven't thought that far out. I gues it all depends on what kind of frame, tank and wheels I can find. I would like to build a completely useless chopper just cause.

Rock on, too many Vtwin choppers out there, I wish for once one of these biker build off shows would use SOMETHING other than that, anything, a thumper, paralell twin, 3banger, whatever.... Then we'll talk original...

most of the guys I hang with are building 650 bobbers and there are more out there wanting them. When we cruise we get all the looks from the harley boys who can't ride there custom choppers more than a few miles without getting off. That's why on the biker build offs they ride 500?600miles I guess with a camera crew and some back up vehicles.
I hope they are having fun with all the $$$$'s they spent.

Last week Cory ness used a W3 on his bike on Biker Build Off. I'm not a big fan of the W3. It just looks wrong.

A Triumph 650 chopper would be pretty cool. I've seen some nice ones. Check out The Horse- Backstreet Choopers magazine. They feature old triumph chops pretty regularly.


Learning from my mistakes... again and again.
