Where has the time gone man love the chops ,Dave man inspired, wonder what he would be drawing today if he was still with us ,you all are keeping the dream alive thanks brothers and sisters
I remember seeing a guy named Micah McCloskey and his chopped Indian Chief in the pages of Choppers magazine. I think the article was about Micah and some other guys who rode to Mexico. If you're the same guy, then, it's great to see and hear you. You built some fantastic motorcycles. Thanks, ChopCult. Thanks, Throttle Addiction. Best -- W
Hi Micah, Mike from Petaluma here. I LOVE your style ! I own stock Yamaha Stryker, and Kawasaki Vulcan 1500, and I'm super happy with them, and your style is AMAZING !
Me personally being a 50 year old biker never been in to long choppers. But I ride every day and take camping trips a good bit. Can't beat a wide glide front end on a old ironhead roadster like I have.
There's nothing like a chopper my husband has a 48 we had so much fun and it beautiful and when we parted ways he sold it because he said he couldn't ride it with out me it went to Oklahoma, I wish I could see it again
It's called Frisco style, as in it came from San Francisco . The high pegs clear the curbs and narrow drag bars clear the car mirrors when splitting lanes and riding like you stole it, not highway cruising.
I have way more control of my foot clutch wearing vans shoes compared to "Biker boots", & They are way more comfortable on those long rides, as for tennis, I wouldn't know, never played it.
Great video- great bikes- great show - BUT i wanted to cut my ears off with some of those tunes man. Guess there ain't much out there available that won't cop u a copyright case.😵 Thank god for mute
It's too bad you don"t enjoy cool music like you enjoy cool bikes! Music fits! Suppose you wanna' hear that ol' wore out steppenwolf stuff, Ya or maybe some pop country is more up yer ally!!😂😂😂
Some, although not all, of these bikes are absolutely unrideable death traps, designed just to do what's seen in this video here: be taken to a show and photographed. There's nothing new about this - it's been going on since the 60s. Guy makes a crap bike and takes it to a show and gets praised for being a panel beater and welder. If someone's a skilled and trained machinist and metalwork fabricator, that's one thing. But it doesn't excuse making an absolutely awful bike (e.g. 7:28). The manufacturers always do so much better in making a usable bike. I think some of these people just need a better outlet or platform for metalworking skills than bikes. Because it's fair to say some of these bikes just suck balls.
@@megamouse4093 I’m with you, I started out with bicycles, and made them into choppers, than I got into old school choppers, and now I want my next bike raked, and stretch…
Great footage, that Slim's fab bike is super creative.
Diggin those old school long choppers!!! They look like the perfect design and what a chopper should look like, imo
Man, SlimFab is out of this world. What an amazing talent. 😮
Hats off to Slim. Not only outside the box. But off the planet. Absolutely Brilliant.

7:58 *WHY WOULD YOU SIT ON BOLT HEADS INSTEAD OF A PADDED SEAT. ESP. FOR A HARDTAIL*
37:07 always that one brother in the pack that constantly needs to stop for gas.

sweet rides
Hell yeah
that old black with the stripes is as good as it gets

Old school pioneers you are the guys we look up to fuckin awesome bikes my jaw is on the floor
Nice
0:37 he builds bikes and grows one hell of a beard. So top that!
Pan head at 58:49 is dope.
5:00 WAS the SWEEEEEEEEEETEST BIKE IN VID
What song is playing from about 43:00 to 47:00 minutes? I love the bass and drums and need to know!!
Micah McCloskey is one bada$$
6:29 holy shit batman look at that thing!
What is the reason for the feet being placed high?
Ground clearance. Doubtful these bikes could lean into the corners to justify having them up that high. People can dream.
Sissy bar I have never been in one
8:02 i seen that robin but look at that one.
What happen to old school California pull backs.
Soundtrack? @chopcult
Can somebody please tell me what is with the super high pegs in California?
It's called Frisco style, as in it came from San Francisco . The high pegs clear the curbs and narrow drag bars clear the car mirrors when splitting lanes and riding like you stole it, not highway cruising.
Anyone know who built the bike at 15:09
Todd Asin out of Boise, Idaho. Small City Cycles instagram.com/smallcitycycles/
That panhead with the Sugarcl Bear front end . Needs a Long John Harman front end .
Tennis shoes and Harleys ……The Biker Dream …………
24:35 look alot like sonny's old bike "cocaine"
I think he meant to say ghost rider because that’s his bike for the first movie
sup
SUH DUDE....
Real bikers wear boots beginners wear tennis shoes don't forget your tennis racket no common sense
Vans aren't tennis shoes btw
I have way more control of my foot clutch wearing vans shoes compared to "Biker boots", & They are way more comfortable on those long rides, as for tennis, I wouldn't know, never played it.
@@toxsickdog real bikers aren't out here telling people what to wear on their feet. We just ride
Great video- great bikes- great show - BUT i wanted to cut my ears off with some of those tunes man. Guess there ain't much out there available that won't cop u a copyright case.😵 Thank god for mute

Gotta agree with Eirik on this one that music was awesome and perfectly fit the tone of the vid, that guys off a perky or somethin
Real bikers wear boots common Sense isn't that common anymore
Do you ride? I’m thinking not, as if you ride a lot you’d want to be comfortable, hence that’s where tennis shoes come in to play!
I wear wtf I want. I don't need you worrying about my fkn feet for me.
Not everybody wants to be 1% dude. Lay off the SOA reruns. We ride for fun not so we can go online and tell everyone what to do…
Brrrrootherrrrr
Real bikers.... 😂 What a dolt. Worry about yourself.

Your opinion is as useful as bird sh!t on a door handle. Go kick rocks.
You think the chopper fad would end after people realized what frauds OCC was and how unbelievably stupid, uncomfortable, and uncool choppers are.
We’ve loved choppers well before OCC and will continue to love choppers. I wouldn’t classify something going back 50+ years as a fad
Judging by your comments, you're just plain ignorant, but thats bliss, right.
@@megamouse4093 I’m with you, I started out with bicycles, and made them into choppers, than I got into old school choppers, and now I want my next bike raked, and stretch…
OCC has nothing to do with the bikes displayed at this show. I take it you've never built or rode a chopper.
