Fwd for more Readers' Rides

Editors Note: People send me all kindsa great and strange pictures of the stuff they're working on and what they think makes up the perfect chopper. I figured it was only fair to share this stuff with everybody. If you want us to publish a pix of your project or finished scoot, send 'em HERE, if you don't want 'em published, don't send 'em (duh...)

Hey Warren,

It's not a chopper but I still love it. '86 FXR..10 degree rake...10.5" Works Performance shocks plus White Brothers lowered kit....Mikuni Carb....EV-27 Andrews. The rear suspension actually works....on gentle rolling bumps under 10 mph. Sure will understand if you don't post...after all...it ain't a chopper.

Well, it ain't some stock POS, either.

Warren,
Not sure if my bike qualifies as a chopper, but it's got a hard tail, over length forks, fat rear tyre, pullback bars etc. I live in the Philippines, but I'm British, and decided I wanted V8 350 Chev bike, but not with all that fat Boss Hoss type styling. Everything, frame forks, wheel hub, bars, engine plates, etc etc was made at home by me. The other bike is an '82 Yam 500 single, again it's got a stretched swingarm, lowered a bit, home made everything.Great site you've got there, be good to see my bike on it.
Cheers, Paul

Everybody's vision of the chopper is different - but what it boils down to is this: creating motorcycle art where there was parts or just a plain jane stock unit. Now this here is what we call BUILDING A DAMN BIKE...I mean from scratch folks. Fabrication is the mother of invention and invention is what this gig is all about. Yeah...it doesn't qualify as a "chopper" but what an awe-inspiring ride!
