Back in the day, it didn't much matter if it was a Harley, a Honda or anything in between. You built it yourself and rode the wheels off it. Today too many times it turns out to be a bike that you paid too much for to ride too little.

Oh it mattered.. yea it mattered. There was Harley & there were the rest. Didn't matter if it was chopped or not, if it wasn't a Harley it wasn't a Chopper. It would have been a "Honda chopper".. but that would have been kinda silly cause 'back in the day' there weren't any hondas with more than 305cc. The Brits had some nice bikes & some were chopped but they weren't Choppers.
