Default Who still likes old school?!

How many people still like the old school choppers and springers? I'm only 30 years old but old school is still cool in my book. Every style comes and goes and right now baggers seem to be the trend. Nothing wrong with that I even like a slammed blacked out SG. But who can't dig the chromed chopper/springer, panhead, rigid frame style? To me it's classic and will always hold respect. That's just MHO just trying to find some love for old school enthusiasts!!!

I Would walk half way across the nations to get an old school chopper,
but I barely would walk across my living room for one of the California choppers

It's not super old school but still in the ball park you're referring to I believe. Love my classic looking ride.




I want a slammed bagger as well soon but this one will always be around.

Love the old school choppers. Hard tail, king & queen seat, tall sissy bar, springer front end and syco paint job!

I like the looks of old school, that's why I have an 05 Springer and have it customized to look old school. It looks very much like the bike in my avatar looks.

Newer bikes can't match the sound of a Shovelhead stroker. If I could afford it, (and had room in the garage), I'd love to have an old school hardtail Pan. But it would be a waste, really, because as much as I like the look and the sound, these days my back couldn't take riding one for long.

Nostalgia is great, but when I head out for 1,000 or 10,000 mile ride, I'll keep my anti-lock brakes, comfy seat, windshield and heated grips.

love 'em. What I grew up on, chopped (as we called them then) Pans and Knucks, and rat 45s. These days I'd have to have a front brake, though. If I ever get rich, I'll build another.
