[kroussinoffroad]

thing only operates at LOW speed and still had balloon tires... the three wheeler was a hard tail as well

It's a nice build, but how does it qualify as a chopper?

 

[kroussinoffroad]

cuz i chopped it to make something more appealing to me

Chopper is a very loose term, originally makin a chopper was choppin parts to cut down on weight. Making mainly Harley's Triumph's, and Indian's better for off road and mud racing.

Eventually choppers evolved to it make A bike more Visually appealing for shows and stunts. when the Jap bike's (cruisers) hit the american market they almost took over the chopper sceen for a short while. Most of the time They were more reliable and performed better. Now the "CHOPPER" sceen has really taken off to a whole new level

I still perfer the 70's builds as there is so much character and they are reasonable builds.

Makes sense.

When I hear "chopper" I think raked out front end, lot's of chrome, etc.

When I'm thinking of something someone actually built themselves, I usually think of it as a bobber.
