Why We Chop: Chapter 4

General Posts / By Wayfarer

Even in Oklahoma City by Bill May “As a kid growing up in Oklahoma in the ‘60s I was crazy about hot rods and motorcycles. My father passed away when I was 14. Mom didn’t drive. It was legal for a 14-year-old to ride a motor scooter of five horsepower or less. Mom bought me a Cushman Eagle to ride to school and run errands on. I got a job at the local root beer stand and rode every day. I read hot rod magazines. Sometimes they’d feature a stripped-down custom motorcycle.” Click Here to Read this latest episode of ‘Why We Chop’ Series * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Never miss a post, news, products or story…..click to subscribe to our free weekly newsletter.

Latest “Chopper Charlie” story by Bandit

General Posts / By Wayfarer

by K. Randall “Bandit” Ball “Chopper Charlie was in a jam, he knew it. He stepped into too many dark alleys with the wrong guys. He told his old lady to pack everything she owned into her Buick Roadmaster station wagon and get ready to split. Melanie did as she was told. A tiny, bubbly thing, as cute as a button, she stood by her man unless another man came along. Charlie wasn’t a big guy, maybe 5’8” but he curled 50-pound dumbbells and bench-pressed over 300 pounds. With skinny legs, tight biceps and a barrel chest, he worked in the back of a notorious bike shop run by a four-man 1%er club called the Question Marks. “ Click to Read this latest adventure in “Why We Chop Series: Daytona Charlie” * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Read the other epic tales in “Why We Chop Series” by Clicking Here….only on Bikernet.com
