Choppers are a lot of fun,I've built two and currently ride the one pictured in my avatar.Built with the correct rake and trail they can handle as well as the moco;s. Granted I need a bigger turning radius since my chopper is stretched 10".I've done several 500 mile rides on it.It's all about making the bike your own,not having the same bike as everyone else,all the Harley owners that I know and ride with do some sort of mods to make the ride theirs,chopper are just a different way of doing that..If you are a rider who likes to do a lot of long distance touring a chopper isn't the best choice.Fortunately for me I'm able to afford a bagger for touring and the pro street for playing around.
