Check out some of the links to this site and you will find the pictures of some of the savage cycles that have it on them!!!

hell yeah. My buddy said "I bought a chopper." I said "no you didn't; You don't buy a chopper; you build a chopper." The dude sold him a chopper, but he didn't buy a chopper!

You rock, sluggo!

I disagree. When I think of a chopper, I think raked and extended forks, a peanut gas tank, and maybe a rigid frame. All these items can be store bought. While your bike is "chopped", it is a bobber.

This is a chopper (this one defined, or redefined the term):

Just for fun, here's how the online dictionaries define "chopper":

Merriam-Webster dictionary:
7 : a customized motorcycle

dictionary.com:
6. Informal. A motorcycle, especially one that is customized.

I guess I'll go for a ride on my chopper Wink
