Arizona Desert Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Arizona Desert Chopper Motorcycle Ride

The sun cracks down on the Arizona desert, baking the endless expanse of ochre sand and gnarled cacti into a mirage-shimmering tableau.

In the distance, a low rumble grows, like thunder chewing on gravel. It’s not a storm, though—it’s the guttural roar of a pack of high-powered choppers, engines throbbing like iron hearts, bearing down on this desolate frontier. Read more »

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Long Fork Chopper Motorcycle Ride

There’s nothing like riding a good-looking Chopper through the countryside!

Sure, riding any type of motorcycle through open roads in the country is a great experience.  But, riding a high-powered, cool looking chopper, it’s really a kick in the ass! How many real chopper riders think about those great rides on the open country roads during the winter off-season?  Personally, I bet there’s quite a few, as we’re looking forward to the warmer weather and getting our machines back out on the road.

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Here in the Arizona area there are many motorcycle rides.

But there’s quite a difference between a motorcycle ride and an exclusive Chopper ride. Sure, Choppers have their admirers and their detractors, but one thing’s for sure when a group of Choppers get together for a ride they attract a lot more attention and admiration from the General Public then a bunch of stock motorcycles.

Dallas Chopper Ride

Chopper Motorcycle Ride Dallas Texas

The motor is a custom built S&S 111 Evo with Panhead style Rocker Covers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

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.

Harley shovelhead engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Shovelhead engine was created as the previous Panhead engine was becoming obsolete, with many Harley-Davidson owners demanding more power to compete with the more modern motorcycles. Throughout the Shovelhead’s run, the engine had many different changes made to it to improve power, cooling and oil consumption. The engines had only 10 fins for cooling, which caused them to run hot. Another problem was that oil would pool in the cylinder heads, causing it to leak into the valves and burn oil. Read more »
