Ok you could design and have a builder build the bike for you. Which I am sure is just as much fun.

Does Kustom Thor build one offs? Probably.

Arlen Ness, Big Bears Chopper, Exile Cycles, OCC etc all build production choppers for the masses. Most are around the US$50,000 mark (Stateside)

yes thor will build you any style you want www.thorchops-kustoms.com

however due to the credit crunch world wide i dont think there will be many buying this type of bike this year .people will be keeping their money for more important things.........

The idea of having a chopper is to build one yourself. Hence custom bike.

sounds good travelmate but everyone hasent got the ability to do this....welding,fabrication,pipe bending etc......thats how guys like arlen ness,teutuls of occ,etc are all millionaires coz people pay them to do it ,,,but i agree with you that is not the same as a custom bike coz its bought out of the shop off the shelf more or less.....thats why i have admiration for these thai guys because they hand make most of the bike their selves.

I like that orange one, third from left. Barry, just out of curiosity....how much these sell for?

hot rod are trying to sell that bike for about 2 years now ,they were looking around 2 million baht for it............theyre is some serious hand engraving on this bike if you look closely...i was there in pattaya when he (ed hotrod) was loading it into his pick up to bring down to phuket bike week in april last year.

great work for a good cause,well done to every one involved

who said they were 1% ers rustic not all mc s are 1%

Jesus H! Give me strength!

I do believe the smiley means he wasnt serious.

lol

To be honest this is show bikes, and if anyone is honest you would not be able to pass the cone test with any of them. However due to lack of laws regarding bikes they're legal in most countries. It amazes me a lot, how can a bike be legal if you can't pass a license test with it.

Also the word chopper came from the soldiers from 2nd WW who went home to US and bought out cheap from the army the (at that time fastest bike around in US) Harley's from war duty, these were heavy bikes and the guys chopped of unnecessary parts to lighten term and make them faster, hence the word chopper was born.

What is called a chopper today has nothing to do with it, it is heavily customized bikes which is dangerous to ride on the road. They should be called Show Bikes. Also the original bunch who rode these bikes were ex-soldiers who was tough guys and they started Hells Angels who became known in the movie Easy Rider. For many years youngsters who looked at that movie believed that the bike made these guys though, and when they managed to get enough money from a decent job and hit middle age they put on glue on tattoos and false beard in the weekends riding Harley's believing they were tough guys riding around trying to show of as dangerous guys.

I believe if the guys from WW2 could choose today they would be on a Jap supersport bike, because what they were after was a fast bike, the fastest around bike actually hence the chopping and modding, and where do we see this today? In Jap bikes, they are the ones getting modded and chopped more and more for speed not a (living legend) who lives of yesteryears and people make unrideable...

I do not mind Harley, I had one myself but the reliability of the US made engine was so crappy I was happy to get rid of it. Also my mate was the transporter for OCC at the Europe Tour and he was not amused from the Lincoln bike frame collapse and so on. I also do not mind show bikes, they are fun to look at but let us call a spade a spade and call these bikes showbikes and not choppers because that is really an insult to the guys who invented the term.

Cheers Bard

bard those line up of bikes at the start of the topic are actually jap chops.they are no show bikes ..if you go to any bike week in thailand you will see that these guys ride them,they are not trailored to a show..i know guys who have rode these non stop from pattaya to phuket bike week ,no one is saying these are the best bikes out there or anything,im sure if these guys wanted to ride sports bikes they would ,its their style for what they ride..the newer efi harley engines never give trouble,i ride mine flat out everywhere and never got any trouble...if your talking about show bikes look at occ or something ,they are what they say showbikes never ridden but in thailand choppers are ridden everywhere,believe me..go to ride for the king party in bkk ,pattaya bike week,phuket chiang mai any where you will see what i mean....i dont know what easy rider movie you looked at...but the one ive seen with dennis hopper and peter fonda in it had no hells angels or mention of hells angels in it....and the thoughts of someone puttin on false beards and tattoos to look tough ..come on man ive never seen any one do this..if they did they are stupid ass holes...a chopper is what you make of it to make your own.......its individuality no harm in that is there........these guys dont build bikes to ride around cones in some car park..theyre built for the open road...some day when you meet 10-20 on the road i bet you will stop and look in awe....then you will understand what im saying......hey kerryd any more good photos keep them coming theyre good

heres a few more professionally built ones ,mostly by thor ,his shop is in bkk ,it was previously known as heavens customs...the gold/yellow on is owned and built by hot rod in pattaya.......

20 and 21 is a Tuesday and Wednesday.

Anyone with any updates? I guess the dates are wrong. I'd like to go to this if it is held over a weekend, which judging by its name, it will be.

Ride from Bangkok Fri afternoon and stay in Hua Hin 2 nights.

I'll give the Hua Hin Blue Dragon MC guys a bell to see if they know.

.............another big club there is pineapple mc ......lol

Yeah! They sound liike real hardcore 1%'ers.

who said they were 1% ers rustic not all mc s are 1%

Got some info that there's a big biker bash on the 20th-21st Jan.

Titled '100 eyes' event (whatever that means!). Sounds cool though.

Carabao's gonna be playing and a lot of the local biker chapters and far-off ones are gonna roll in

It's at the OTOP center in Pranburi, Prachuap Kiri Khan Province. Just south of Hua Hin.

one hundred eyes mc is the name of a bike club there .............another big club there is pineapple mc ......lol

Monkey see monkey do.

My front end is rakied out longer than yours.

Knowing the way shorty welds you'd be taking your life in your hands.

Nothing unique or unusual about any of those "motorcycles".

nothing unique or unusual about any of those motorcycles are you f*****g joking ,who ever you are dotcom you dont know s**T about custom bikes

Can someone explain to me the purpose of extended forks? Is it only style or does it serve a function?

style man..function dosent come in to it with choppers....hard tail etc.........its called being different from the norm..if everyone rode the same bike ,things would be very boring and there would be no such things as motorcycle shows,bike weeks rallies etc....in europe these are called sweedish style chops but in reality thailand was way ahead of any other country regarding choppers...well after america........

now this is what you call a collection of thai proper choppers......many of them owned by dinosaurs mc ..springer club thailand.....

thanks ray ,i was just wondering where is saun pruaksa sirinthon....how far from bkk .....etc

I was at a recording studio in Bangkok today and one of the musicians arrived on a nice-looking 400cc Honda that looked like something from the 60s or 70s. He said it was new, a 'reissue' of a sort, if I understood him correctly. Anyone know anything about this bike, or where I might find one in Bangkok or Chiang Mai?

did it look like an old 400/4 of the 70 s

king street party .where is this location ray ??????
