Choppers, originally the favored rides of outlaw bikers, represent the pinnacle of todays 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 macram233 vests, the chopper has returned to the cultural forefront. Todays choppers, rigid-framed, 125-horsepower steeds thrusting their extended forks down Americas public highways, violate our sensibilities with their sheer outrageousness. Outlaw Choppers tells the story of these wild machines, where they came from, whats going on today, and where theyre going in the future.
