Now that I have had fun arguing this thread, I would never own any of them. Jesse put together (with some exceptions) the same bike with just different paint and a few do-dads. He was born too late to ever develop a real old school feel. When he would try it would turn out very badly like the links I posted.

OCC builds monstrosities with lots of do-dads. They are all over-rated. Given enough time and money anybody with a garage and a welder can make an ugly chopper. The biggest question would be why would they want to.

In the 60s there was a chopper project in a garage on every block in the northeast as I grew up. They would get them together get them to barely run and take them to Philly and Baltimore to the bike shows.

Look around for classic choppers built in the 60s. Generally they are all in the scrap heap because the frames gave out. Lots of very good Triumph motors were wasted on these sorry excuses for motorcycles.

Anyhow, I never rode a chopper I liked. I have ridden a lot of choppers. They all suck past 100 miles in my humble opinion.


I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
