Chopper Motorcycle Night Southern California

Chopper Motorcycle Night at the Torque Moto Cafe

Chopper Motorcycle Night – It’s always a pleasure to see a gathering of good looking custom chopper motorcycles. Many consider the custom chopper to be a rolling work of art. You could have a hundred stock Harleys at a meetup and just two choppers. It’s a sure bet the more cell phone photos will be taken of the two choppers, than all the combined photos of the Harley baggers. Read more »

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Insta360 One X Chopper Motorcycles Ride

Is the Insta360 One X the best 360° video camera for your motorcycle rides? Well, in my humble opinion at the current time it definitely is!


This camera is very small fits in your shirt pocket and yet takes stunning 5.7 K video! The best advantage of using a camera like this for your motorcycle rides is the fact that it is like having a camera person riding along with you. You really don’t have to worry about pointing the camera at any particular subject or direction because at 360° camera like this films everything. In the software that the company provides you can then edit the video to show the views that you feel are most interesting.

When watching this video, at times you’ll see that it seems like the camera is floating over my helmet. In reality, the camera is attached with a GoPro type attachment to the helmet. Read more »

Custom Chopper Motorcycles

Video slide show – Custom Chopper Motorcycles

What chopper rider doesn’t like to look at other cool bikes?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance. They can be built from an original motorcycle which is modified (“chopped”) or built from scratch. Some of the characteristic features of choppers are long front ends with extended forks often coupled with an increased rake angle, hardtail frames (frames without rear suspension), very tall “ape hanger” or very short “drag” handlebars, lengthened or stretched frames, and larger than stock front wheels. The “sissy bar”, a set of tubes that connect the rear fender with the frame, and which are often extended several feet high, is a signature feature on many choppers. Perhaps the best known choppers are the two customized Harley-Davidsons, the “Captain America” and “Billy Bike”, seen in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Read more »
