Default my Dad's chopper

Well my dad's had this bike for a couple years, had it built after he sold his Vmax. has about 40 G's invested in it. nothing crazy. i think it's pretty neat, but i'd rather see that 72-76 nova with a big block he's talked about building.

Nice looking bike, but I don't really like the handlebars. Other than that, very cool!

Because a "chopper" is a one-off bike. In theory, everything is hand built and custom. So you are not just buying parts and installing them, most of them you ae having made yourself...and on top of that, having it all chromed, painted, and fitted.

The choppers by OCC and Jesse James and his crews out West go for 6-figures.

Those are the mass produced $45-65k motorcycles. He's talking about the custom bikes.. like the jet bike, and the black widow bike, and the statue of liberty bike, etc.
