Show me your chopper??

As long as the wheels are original, the date will be stamped on the rear hub.

That's true but you can't beat a year/month date combo (as long as it's after 1973).

A man after my own heart, a bit of distance riding on something entirely inappropriate.
I took part in the Norwich 100 last year as a charity stunt for our local air ambulance on my stock 3 speed 74 Chopper I completed the 100 miles in 7hrs 8mins at an average of 14mph. It was great, support superb & the comments very kind (amusing). Doing it again in a few weeks (June 1st) but this time there is two of us, keep watching. Well done on your ride & like the conversion.
Have fun.

My bum's numb at the thought of 100 miles.
the thought of 100miles in 1 go on my chopper is scaring me ;-)

 

[Gravity Aided]

I'd love to have another one, just to commute in to work on it.

trying to hunt down an old one for my next restoration project

About five years ago, I saw an original Chopper at my local council dump, and the bin men let me have it for a fiver. It sat in the back garden for a year and then the Missus made me take it back. I would be rich now if only............!
