Chopper, Bagger, or Bobber?

[jonny.illuminati]

Which do you prefer....

I own a harley police model road king... but secretly want a bobber

[OliX]

buzzer is my choice

Ones that buzz when you ride them

[VoltaireBlue]

I like my mountain bike. if I owned a car it would be a pick up truck.

[Mr Karl]

have no idea what baggers or a bobbers are

I get around in whatever the company pays for, when I owned my own it was always a pickup................or a twostroke

[Bikerpunk]

Chopper: motorcycle with an altered frame:



Bobber: stripped down motorcycle with bobbed fender, smaller tank and intact frame (sort of)



Bagger - a motorcycle built around the idea of saddlebags, a larger seat, and possibly touring fairings, radio, etc.



My answer: custom. Wait and see the Shovel whose tanks I just finished.

[Mr Karl]

huh...so thats what theyre called...




What I used to ride

[Bikerpunk]

A bike like that without its fairings and stripped down is called a streetfighter or cafe racer, though cafe racers are usually Euro/Brit bikes sans fancy stuff.

[Mr Karl]

cafe racer, that's what it was called, well, mine was a rat bike

[Bikerpunk]

well, rat bike just means it's not holding up well. There are rat choppers, rat bobbers, etc.

BikerPunk...Please do send/post pics! i'm looking for a painter now...

(pre-custom pic of bike... now it has a batwing fairing with a KlockWerks windshield.... lots more work)

[motormenace]

Fuck Choppers! Bobbers (well, I call them rat rods or beaters) rock!!!!

[Black Spiral Dancer]

The Bobber reminds me of the new BatCycle from the new Batman film (which looks like a stripped-down "Judge Dredd" Lawmaster)
