that first one belongs in the new Death Race movie. That last one looks like the producers of Chucky got ahold of the crew at OCC | ||

That is definitely "sick" under the conventional definition.  | ||

I don't see anything resembling a "racer." These bikes seem to get more and more over the top every year. | ||

Choppers are dead. | ||

It's criminal what people call/consider a motorcycle/chopper. The first one is just a rediculous waste of time and money trying to find the best way to ruin a perfectly good troublehead. The second one...my 2 3/4 year old nephew thinks it's childish and immature. | ||

choppers are dead....I think not, the garbage people have been considering choppers for the last 10 or 15 years are dead. Thank goodness. However the 65 Triumph FTW (built late 70's)bike in my garage is alive and well | ||

I bet that thing smells when it warms up! | ||

choppers aren't dead. Just the average middleage white male figuerd out they can't build their own, or afford the doink custom bikes passed off as choppers. I think the above bikes both are lame, the first is no more a racer than my 3/4 ton chevy work van. The second is just STUPID. Ride a clean vintage bike and you will be happier and be able to show off more than an alledged chopper. The engineering and time that went into the first one could have produced a very real and cool world class vtwin racer | ||

The first one it looks like first time you came in contact with Concrete or asphalt you'd go down because the studs in tires would make it slippery. I like this one way better.  | ||

EDIT: Choppers are dead. The over-styled, over-priced, ostentatious monstrosities that people have been calling "Choppers" for the last few years, are dead. | ||

Look to Harley, best sellers; "street bob" "fat bob" "Street Glide" and "nightster" All of them would be considered choppers. Real choppers sell very well indeed. | ||

I think the first bike has some very cool details on it- the single-sided fork, the turbo, the goldish anodized finish on parts, etc. As a practical motorcycle, yea, it's completely useless. I do think it's a hell of a lot more interesting than the OCC bikes with gas tank 3 feet above the engine, 50 degree fork rake, and various welded-on useless widgets. | ||

I respect the work and seeming amount of one off stuff that went into the ice racer. The front end is awesome, lookie at the small shocks on each side of the steering neck! You could nit pick it, but it's looks like it could be some fun if it were ever used. The second bike is just fugly. The third? I see a Street Bob tank and like the rusted/Rustoleum red frame and stuff. I could do without the rear, something like a Rocker rear fender in the satin silver that moves with the swingarm would be awesome. Ditch the beach cruiser bars for some apehangers and I'd rock that to March Badness. Bads, anymore pictures? Edit: The more I look at the front wheel, the more it seems I'm looking into the back side of a Mag wheel for a car...
