A chopper is a radically customized motorcycle, archetypal examples of which are the customized Harley-Davidsons seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Many of today’s custom motorcycles are sometimes mistakenly called choppers, but a truly custom-built motorcycle has additional – usually chrome – accessories and billet parts added on to the bike for aesthetic value, while originally such modifications were purely functional in nature.
The United States of America, where most custom choppers reside, is one of the few countries in the world that allow custom-built choppers to be licensed for highway use. Many of these types of choppers are regarded as dangerous to operate and don’t follow basic design geometry and lack many safety features in their construction.
