                       I could sit & stare at a Ducati 916 for hours trading sides once in a while...

           I neglected to finish the end of that sentence. It should read ...but I would never want to own one or ride one. I would drop it before I got out of my own driveway.

I consider choppers ‘art’.
Yes they drive but I would never drive one on the road. Worst possible thing you could do to the handling of a motorcycle.

Made ya look!

The Captain America bike was just terrible, Peter Fonda even called it unrideable.
But the Billy Bike, that's another story. That bike was just fine in all respects.

Between the absurd extensions, exaggerated rake and ridiculous bars I’m amazed that they lasted long enough to get shot by rednecks.

Strange, not one rider in that video knew a single thing about flat track or speedway speedway riding style or techniques. It would have been more appropriate with those style of bikes in the race to have them all on a road race track. I like Guy Martin but he'll do anything as long as there's a camera pointed at him.

It's only Dirtquake though. It's just for fun.

That's what they all say until the flag drops.

This one has been around for quite a while. (sorry, Jess)


it was one of the customs consigned by Royal Enfield.

  Not really a chopper is it?

[Steve Palmer]

That may be a Custom, but it's no chopper. Not my cup of tea.


These seem to be popular, closer but no cigar. Lower bars and a lighter front end would be a good beginning.

  That looks shite like all choppers.

That's true.

The David Mann art work choppers I quite like.  Very rare to see one down these parts.  I like 'em because they are so stripped bare, probably awkward to ride, more a fashion statement and it sticks a finger to the man!  Respect to those who build and ride 'em.  Are we a bit like that?  Buying a pretty bare bones bike by modern standards, just to ride.  No GPS, riding modes and so on.  A more "pure' experience?
Hmmmm, do Enfield owners have smart watches?  I have a seiko dive and really cant be bothered will all the smart watch info, I have an Enfield and cant be bothered with heaps of plastic and electronics and stuff...
