Choppertown Nation - Online Community for Backyard Builders

Custom motorcycles, hot rods, skate, art, music, movies, whatever...

It is my understanding that a bobber is a standard bike that has been chopped or bobbed. This means removinerg as much surplus weight as possible, ie mudguards, pillion seat etc from the standard bike.
A motorcycle built by a factory cannot, by definition be a bobber.
Neither can a manufacturer build a chopper, a streetfighter or a cafe racer. That's our job.
The nightster or 883 Iron may be a good starting point, but until we get to work on them they aren't bobbers!

and another thing.
Who the f**k decided to call this bike an Iron?
Apart from the disrespect to their own Iron Head Sportster, does no one at HD know that Iron is (Cockney) rhyming slang for homsexual - Iron Hoof = Poof!
Next will come the advert suggesting you keep an Iron up your back passage.

The Choppertown Nation Meetup was amazing!

Huge thanks to our sponsors!
