Chopper Mick : Why We Chop Series
by Bandit Mick grew up on the South side of Chicago on the edge of a coal mining district. His folks were poor, and dad died when Mick was at a young age. He didn’t have much choice except to join the service directly out of High School & send half of his paychecks home. His dad didn’t leave him much, except a dirty Softail springer classic. He rode it everywhere as if it was his tool box to his future. Mick rode to boot camp. He rode to his first duty station, but he rode it home for safe keeping when he was shipped to war. When he returned, he stashed his uniform into his seabag, tucked it away, donned his desert boots, Wranglers, a flannel and a leather vest and rode the Softail to a local bar.
