mmmm that honda made me drool a little.

Pretty neat how now you can buy ready made choppers. Takes some of the fun out of it though.

I've decided to bobber the bike. Keep the original frame and all the fun stuff...take it back about 30 years to a 1950s look...

There's one serious problem with that Honda "chopper". It's a Honda.

yup, or you can just call it a "thinking man's Harley"

when I bought the bike in 04, I was looking to spend 10K or less. any harley I looked at that was about 10K the stores would ask me if I am prepared to spend another 5 to 8K over the next 5 years...

to buy the style I wanted in a Harley it would have been 32K, I only spend 10including some gear on this one, and it doesn't leave oil spots on my driveway

I agree, my friend bought the similar version that was out a few years back and paid like 8K down in California. Last time I was down there, I rode his bike and man it was nice! But again, just not the kind of style I can pull off...I look ridiculous riding a chopper. But if I grew my bread out some more, wore more leather and got way more tattoos, then just maybe

I have a friend who was born into a Biker family (Hells Angels) and he was saying I am exactly the kind of dude they love to see riding choppers cause its so easy to make fun of...
