Talk:Chopper (motorcycle)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I understand what is being said today...I am just trying to clear up the lies and give the public the truth. Mondo Porras is not a pioneer of the chopper. My Dad, Denver Mullins is the pioneer. At least put myu dad's name first.

Can we mention cafe racers at the same time? This was another stripped motorcycle, albeit a separate style with separate objectives...

Wow, this page needs work. There's no pictures of modern choppers (AKA O.C.C.) or anything else.

[edit] Chopper Time Line Needed

This page is really bad. It has pictures of trikes which is in no way are choppers. The page touches on the origins of choppers and the trend of custom bikes being mistaken as choppers. The wild man shop is completely inaccurate. I would like to see a timeline done on this page of the different style of choppers and innovative chopper builders in these time periods.

Ex. 60’s style American choppers to

70’s Added ape hangers and large rakes to

80’s style over done paint jobs to

90’s- early millennium fat tire and billet trend to

Current recent revival of back street choppers cut down look and style with today’s performance parts.

Real chopper pictures are needed to show looks of these chopper trends.

[edit] Chopper Pictures

The pictures on the chopper page is not a chopper. Does any one have rights to pictures that are choppers. Espcially the different era's of choppers. HunterIrrigation 17:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Traditonal Chopper

Since the write up on chopper was so all over the place as the current use of the term. I have inculded a complete write up of a Traditional Chopper and the history behind. Source from many magazine, books and personal interviews from year of following the scene. HunterIrrigation 17:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
