One of the most overused and incorrectly used terms regarding custom motorcycles is “chopper.” People often refer to any custom Harley as a chopper so much so that it’s kinda lost its meaning. Many have tried to define exactly what makes a bike a chopper, but it’s always an open debate with no final definition from what I’ve seen, read, and heard. Me? I kinda take the approach that the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart took when he had to rule on what was pornography way back in 1964 and said, “I know it when I see it.” Perfecto. I’ve never bothered to think or argue about what makes a motorcycle a chopper, but I know one when I see it.
