Title: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by voodoo on 12/24/11 at 17:30:30 Micah Spicer of Florida has just finished his custom #19 on a Voodoo Vintage SHORT-CHOP frame and it is bang-up flat-out COOLNESS ON WHEELS! He completed his build in just five short weeks!!! You must have been burning the oil buddy! From Voodoo Vintage: Let me just say- Nice work Amigo!!! You nailed it! http://www.voodoovintage.com/images/frames_rollers/shortchop/spicer_01.jpg http://www.voodoovintage.com/images/frames_rollers/shortchop/spicer_03.jpg http://www.voodoovintage.com/images/frames_rollers/shortchop/spicer_02.jpg |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/24/11 at 21:06:05 No front brake, no front fender, no padding on the seat,, Makes as much sense as lowering a pickup to me. It LOOKS good, but its useless to me. It represents what is wrong with the world to me, all about looks, function be darned. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by built2last66 on 12/25/11 at 08:16:07 JOG you don't understand the whole bobber/vintage track bike thing then.. but I do agree about the naked seat pan... and I really hate the stock ls650 hand grips... but that bike is wicked! I'm hoping to get that frame one day along with the springer fork... super wicked... gonna need a stock mounting bracket welded to back of the short chop frame for my dragpipe... |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by RidgeRunner13 on 12/25/11 at 10:29:18 I think JOG understands VERY well. What you're looking at is a death trap. Back in the day I built several death traps myself. BUT, when you watch one of your friends go sliding past you to T-bone the side of a truck because he couldn't stop, No front brake & no suspension, rear end hopping up & down, you change your mind about what looks cool. :'( When he got out of the hospital, with a permanent limp from a compound fracture of his left leg, we rebuilt his old Triumph with a front end with the biggest brake I could find. And we took the struts off & put shocks back on. From then until his death last year from brain cancer I never saw him ride another bike that didn't have a front brake. When you've seen someone go down because the ape hangers he was so proud of broke off at the lower bend from the stress of a hard stop, they don't look so cool either. :-? I've also taken the time to teach a friend how to use his front brake effectively after he went down on a ride where his brother stopped in front of him & he couldn't. Today he rides with much more confidence & hasn't been down again in over 20k miles. 8-) You see, I've done the stupid stuff, like the trick that got Indian Larry killed, so I've paid my dues & have a right to speak on it. Hell, I still occasionally due something stupid on my bikes. But I won't recommend it to anyone & I won't build or help you build something I know to be unsafe. I currently ride a bike with a car tire on the back & pull a trailer, but I won't tell you to do it. In the past year i've advised several people NOT to get a bike, because after talking to them it was apparent they had no clue how to ride safely. And each one of them was telling me about the new H-D they were getting for their first bike. :o Go ahead & build you one. Nobody's going to stop you. But if you live through the wreck, don't expect me to visit you in the hospital. And I won't come to your funeral either. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by built2last66 on 12/25/11 at 14:49:09 Yeah yeah, I know all about brakes.. the front brake is 2/3rds of the stopping power... if you just have a back brake you have to plan accordingly... or in lay mans terms don't be a dumbass.. :D But those metal seat pans hurt my arse just lookin at em... |

20 years ago I did this, or that, let me tell you something no one cared then, and prob wont now. People will continue building what they like. No one is asking for your advice on their personal safety, I'm sure most will agree that riding a bike in general isn't so safe. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/26/11 at 05:28:56 Correct, most agree riding isnt so safe, so, knowing that, does it then seem reasonable to wear a helmet backwards? Or run with no brakes? Or create a suspension that fails to maintain good tire & road contact? Or would it be more reasonable to ride a bike designed to aid in giving the rider the best chances of controlling the hazards? The argument that riding is, by nature, hazardous , therefore, eliminating safety features is of no consequence is a bit like acknowledging parachuting is a dangerous sport, so, packing the chute carefully is really not important. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by voodoo on 12/26/11 at 09:44:10 This bike is designed with a custom dual-doc-martin front brake system!

Some people get it, some don't and that's fine. |

Now, Mr Voodoo, this is a much better answer than your post suggesting I just drive a car. :) I've visited your website & think you offer some really nice products there. Maybe not to my taste these days, but I wasn't knocking your product. In this day of product liability & lawsuits that name everyone involved in any way, I would only suggest that you use care in offering your approval of a customers use of your product in an unsafe manner. As you should already be aware, there are people constantly working to outlaw m/cs as a whole, and many trying to make any modification from stock illegal, which would kill your business. :o Obviously, you are aware of the problems involved with the licensing or insuring of modified bikes or you wouldn't build frames using a stock neck so as to avoid some of those hassles. As someone who once built what Texas terms an "assembled" vehicle I can tell you it took a stack of paper work 1/2" thick & several visits to various agencies to get it titled. As we have many newbies who come to this site for advice, we riders who have seen the bad things that can happen when unsafe modifications are made should make it a point to speak out. None of us would like to be named in a lawsuit, or see this site or a vendor named because of alledged approval of unsafe practices. :( Wow, Kevin & Built, guess you put me in my place, huh! Now if you still think you can plan for the car or child that runs out in front of you, keep dreaming. The only way I see you could aviod the dumbass label you threw out there is to not ride a bike with anything less than working brakes on both wheels. I'm not telling you to be ATGATT because that really only effects you & the people who care about you & is your decision. I'm certainly not an ATGATT person myself, but I do ride with the safety gear I'm comfortable with. 8-) But in this case, your decision to ride without a front brake could easily injure or kill someone else. Now hopefully you can accept this advice in the spirit it is given. It is certainly not intended to upset you or cause you any harm. I see it as no different from pulling up beside someone at a light & letting them know their lights aren't working properly. If you can't accept that, then the problem is on your end, not mine. 8-) BTW, Mr Voodoo, I've been successful driving a car on the street & in competition at CC Speedway in the not too distant past. Right up until a wreck that even my safety gear didn't keep me from suffering an injury. If my current situation changes, I will be out there again. Would you like to be a sponsor on a racecar? ;D |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by RidgeRunner13 on 12/26/11 at 17:25:29 Well, Built, that is something we can agree on. But you might want to consider this. I live on a long, narrow barrier island. There are people who have lived here for years that will tell you there are no deer here. I know there were from dirt riding years ago when I found the tracks, but until about 3 weeks ago I hadn't seen one in 15 years. I was on my way to my bank when I ran up on this fresh roadkill about 10 miles from my house. He would have been a 10 pointer but was completely missing an antler. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/Pappygt13/IslandDeer004.jpg I have a friend who spent a month in the hospital & came home in a wheelchair when all the brakes his Road King had couldn't slow in time. Sometimes your number comes up & there is nothing you can do. But why would you skew the odds to be more against you than they already are? 8-) |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by Bubba on 12/27/11 at 07:28:27 I think the bike is da bomb...would I ride it...probably around the block... maybe he created it as a show bike. I know there would be lots of attention. I've seen lots of custom bikes that certainly didn't look safe...would I ride them...probably around the block. Would I ride them to work...probably not. |

I do know that no matter what any parent says to their kid, it doesn't always happen. I also know you're human... and when you're the one who runs down that kid in the street, nothing in the world is going to keep you from feeling responsible for it; front brakes or not. You'll see that kids face in your dreams for the rest of your days... Yeah, that's a VERY cool looking bike; that part I can definitely appreciate. Take some good pictures for the magazines, and don't ride it through my neighborhood, please. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by voodoo on 12/27/11 at 10:47:17 Hi guys! Just wanted to chine in here... All joking aside, I would never recommend running without front brakes to anyone! If someone should decide to do so, it is obviously at their own risk and liability. Each person has their own reason to build a custom. Some guys like to stare at it... Some guys build it specifically to drive down the block to the local Starbucks and get phone numbers... And some guys build as a daily driver. Each one is different and valid in their own direction and I would never condone or condemn ANY of my customers for what they chose to ultimately roll out of their garage. Having said that... I fabricate and sell quality built components, and for the strict reason of liability, have never or will never build a complete "motor vehicle"! It's funny that I've posted this same customer's project on FOUR different web sites including Harley XL Forum, XS650, XS400, and Jockey Journal with super responses (none having to do with liability or safety issues). This was meant to be a "light" thread spotlighting a customer's creativity and ingenuity. It's funny that the only forum that has went awry with this thread is the forum of the build's namesake! Even the Harley guys love this dude's build and a lot of people are realizing that more can be done to the stock LS650/S40 than just installing different handlebars and a Sportster exhaust! Believe me... Everyone's concern over safety has been taken into consideration a LONG LONG time before Voodoo Vintage even existed. I've been in traction myself but I gotta tell you... If anyone were to put a percentage on motorcycle accidents and dumb-ass motorcycle operators, I'm afraid the number would be high! God knows it was in my case!!! Anyway... Plenty of threads out there concerning safety. This one is about Color, Shape, Style, and Stance! I truly expected more comments like "BAD ASS GAS TANK!". Anyway... Enjoy and be safe!!! |

Built; I realized shortly after I posted this that I went way too far. I owe you an apology. I'm a new dad, and your comment struck me in a personal way that I know it wasn't meant to. It stung me, and I stung back. I am sorry. A lot of work went into this build, and it shows. It is beautiful, as a work of art, and I agree with VOODOO; there are a hundred types of motorcycles; each one has its purpose, and each has its limitations. No motorcycle is perfect, but for what it is meant to be; this one's pretty darned close... |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by voodoo on 12/28/11 at 10:47:24 I'd just call it a little "bar hopper". But in Europe, everyone meets up at the cafe's.

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by dasch on 12/28/11 at 23:42:49 No way you legalize this in Europe though. Brakes on both wheels - required. Hydraulic brakes on both or at least front wheel - required, depends on the country. White headlight - required... Turn signals - required... there's probably a few more ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by babyhog on 12/29/11 at 11:31:42 It is cute, and yes, the tank is fab-u-lous! But my question is... are the pics deceiving, or is the frame really only an inch or so from the ground?? We got alot of railroad crossings, etc. that I could see getting that thing hung on! Out in the flat country, maybe, but where I live... looks like an easy accident! |

Hey Kevin, As everyone who's done a chain conversion knows... You have to space-out the front sprocket about 10-15 mm on the stock Savage to get the chain aligned.

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by 2stroketim on 01/06/12 at 16:09:05 I think this bike is very well done. I also think someone put a great deal of effort into this build. Instead of bashing this cat for what some may deem unsafe, accept this brother, and his stead. Such negativity is not only harshing my mellow, it drives us apart as a community. I personally like all different bikes. All shapes and sizes. MG's, Triumphs, KTM's, and yes, thumpers. All have a different personality, much like the brother that rides it. Now....on to better things. The tank is sweet. Very nice job on the fork lowering...it looks like a lot of fun. I'd ride it for sure..... |

Front brake was a must. I rode it once without and it almost ended badly hahahahaha. Promptly parked it and we pit the brake on this afternoon. |

Title: Re: Voodoo Vintage: Micah Spicer's SHORT CHOP! Post by k9500winmag on 02/09/12 at 16:46:22 Just a little update, put quite a few hours on the bike today doing my BRC to get my motorcycle endorsement. Finish it up tomorrow, then registration and insurance this weekend. This bike is the star of the class. Some guy was riding one of those hyosung 250cc "crotch rocket" looking things and I think he wants to throw it off a cliff by now. Rusty has some serious power hiding in her. Playing after class it pulled side by side with a Ninja 600R until 3rd gear when the ninja pulled ahead. Im loving this baby. |

How do you guys fit on these bikes when they're set up like this? I love the look though. But i know the reality of the dimensions. If that thing were 20% larger and to perfect scale id take it to the store... but i couldnt bring anything back... Id go to the bar, but i'd run out of gas. I'd go to my girls, but my balls would be in a bag. id take it to bike week but my trailer has a flat. Ahhhh forget it... id probably park it n take pictures ...maybe post it on a forum. Just bustin balls in good humor man. Not the same way thatll bust your balls. Nice ride! Be safe. Get some front brakes asap! :) |

It must be uncomfortable, etc. etc. My response is easy - - 'If ya gotta ask, ya prolly dont get it to begin with' |

Even at 70 plus on the interstate she stays straight and stable. Put about a 100 miles down today with no issues and a whole lot of turning heads and people rolling windows down at lights to ask questions hahahahah. I love her! :D |

The usual suspects. |
