Chopper Triumph

The late 60's and early 70's was the time when the chopper culture entered it's golden, glitzy, chrome-laden, and psychadelic colored era. Here'a couple of examples of the style.  Not necessarily raked forks all the time, but a semi-bobbed style. This one has a super open-road portrait stretching into the distance. Insect-like headlights, but a comfortable riding geometry.


U-shaped bucket seat, peanut tank and raked hardtail frmae; that's chopper style. The british twins were used as much as the harley v-twins are seen today in these custom specials.


Crumb-esque drawings add to tne light hearted nature of the lifestyle...
...keep on ridin'!
