Choppers

70's style

Classic

Big rear tire style chopper

Bobber

        The chopper and Bobber have been around for a long time. The Bobber was the first style that seem to start after WW2 , returning service men were buying the used baggers and stripping them down. This made them lighter and faster than the old AMA Bagger types. The out law clubs liked this style for some time then in the late 60's early 70's the chopper came in to being .maybe the movie Easy Rider had some thing to do with this or not ! I am sure it was a west coast style to begin with. Both  styles have come and gone over the decades. The trend now seems to be the Bagger again. I my self care nothing for the Bagger style. My father always called them garbage trucks I guess because they had all that junk on them. All these style come and go but for me the real cool style is laid back cursing of the chopper.It is real nice with your Ole lady on the back up against the sissy bar and you laid back with pull back bars flying down the interstate . Just kooool !!!!
