hmmm will she be there in the morning? Will I have to chew my arm off to get away without waking her?
Screwing her is like riding a Honda...feels great until your friends see you.

Next fad looks to be "Rat" bikes from what I've seen around here. Even some bikes painted to look like they're rusty . . . go figure that someone would pay good money to make their bike look bad . . . usually an early 60's cafe racer or a late 60's/early 70'd chopper theme, but made to look like it was just pulled out of a barn that didn't have much in the way of a roof!

Naw, looks to me like you're still got paint on it . . . and whats all that shiny chit? You'll need to sand blast your entire bike to get rid of all that paint and chrome and then leave it out in the rain for at least a couple of months. If you take hammer to the tanks and the fenders that'd be a real character enhancing plus as well.

This was my old Chopper. Back in the 60's, I couldn't afford a Harley, so like a lot of people, I cut my teeth on the old British Bikes.
This was a 1969 or 1970 picture of "My Ride", a 1953 Triumph, to me that was the coolest bike in the world, I was as proud, as a dog with two dicks!
Now that's a chopper! Can't tell you the degree of rake, but the springer was a 21 over. Rode great until you had to turn around, or U turn, then it required about 40 acres.

to me.... a chopper is a bike YOU build..... or at least enlist your friends, to help with the stuff you suck at, trading what you can do, for what they can do.
Today's "choppers" are just custom bikes.... mostly limited production bikes, that cost a ton of money, and are dropping in value, as the 'toy collectors" are growing bored with them.
I did what I swore I'd never do.... I joined the "bagger nation".... and haven't looked back Trends? hell, I'm a poor boy (ok poor old fart) trends are for the wealthy....
