Product Description
Choppers, originally the favored rides of outlaw bikers, represent the pinnacle of today's motorcycling chic. Choppers designed by top builders routinely command six-figure prices. Once relegated to the scrap heap of pop-culture history along with wide lapels, mutton-chop sideburns, and macram vests, the chopper has returned to the cultural forefront. Today's choppers, rigid-framed, 125-horsepower steeds thrusting their extended forks down America's public highways, violate our sensibilities with their sheer outrageousness. Oultaw Choppers tells the story of these wild machines, where they came from, what's going on today, and where they're going in the future.

 Have to agree with the third review, January 15, 2006

BUT, there's always that isn't it. A pretty good book all in all. Well worth buying USED. While I'm not a big fan of late model styles, a few interesting ideas on a couple of the scoots. Just two real nice old-style bobbers, a pan and the big flathead on the back cover. Nice color pictures. Kinda interesting reading too, if you're into that sort of thing.
 A great little book December 3, 2004

This book tells the story of a lot of up and coming chopper builders, with lots of cool chopper photos. It is very well written and enjoyable. It was a light read, but well worth the low price.

Great pictures but some of the technical info is not accurate (Example is saying a 250 is made by Metzler when everyone knows Avon makes the 250 and Metzler makes the 240). It is an interesting read-NOT ground breaking but worth it.
 Not Real Outlaw Choppers April 29, 2004
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Yet another coffee table picture book on the current styling trends of Choppers. Mr. Seate's excellent previous book, 'Choppers' touched on the origin of these great machines and then went on to showcase the current trends. Instead of this new book delving deeper into actual hand built outlaw machines from the glory days of the late 60's and 70's and the home built bikes of today, it also focuses on modern, big dollar builders. Some of the bikes featured such as the BMC bikes may be nice machines but they are production bikes and shouldn't be included here. The Bobber section does have some nice rides and Chica's stuff is pretty cool but you can find bikes like these in any current Harley biased custom magazine. The title suggests that you're going to see real outlaw choppers but this is just another attempt at cashing in on the current TV driven fad. Real chopper fans may be dissapointed.
