Good to see people really embrace their faith huh! That damn Satan obviously put up a bit of a fight, at your expense!
I think choppers look awesome......but that's it! Might be alright on American Freeways and SH1 here (most of the way) but if you want to go further than the nearest Latte and experience some of the great roads that godzone has to offer, I'm afraid a chopper isn't the way to go. IMHO, chopper riders are just showboaters or big noters and not true bikers.
I welcome the oportunity to be proved wrong but! If Bri' or any of his Chopper Riding bud's are reading this.....I'd love to see them at the next GC, or 4points, or C1KC, or SC or.....the list goes on.
Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen/passed a chopper on the road here, at least not outside a town road!!

I'd never own one for all the reasons you posted (I'd consider a bobber perhaps) but I still don't see riding a chopper as being "poor form". I could name a few people with choppers who own other, more agile bikes as well and they are most assuredly 'true' bikers. IMHO I would imagine that anyone who labels chopper riders as 'showboaters and big noters' is simply jealous of their bling trappings. Some of the choppers I have come across are triple-figure machines, works of art and a credit to their owners; owners who don't give a rats arse that chops don't go round corners, their other machines can do that for them.
If I had some spare thousands, had other bikes to choose from and enough garage space to house a chop then if I buy/build one does that make ME a 'showboater' and a 'big noter'?
Is riding a Honda ST1300 "poor form", for example?
To each his own.
Cheers.
