If no-one wants to buy it, you might be able to convert it back to a standard gents bicycle and sell it at a reduced price. :y
You will have to  state a new price if you advertise it like that though,as it would be a blatant breach of the rules to simply invite offers. ;) ;D

.... and no. I dont want it.  One of those fekkers and a poody tat jammed under the front wheel whilst heavy breaking cost me my two front (second) teeth back in '69 or '70.   >:( >:(

Had wallies of some sort or another in the front ever since !!  ::)  ;D

How many of us actually had a Chopper though? And what colour was yours?

Mine was yellow.
Can you remember what was written on that white strap on the seat? ;)

Mine was red and the writing on the seat strap was a warning advising against carrying passengers IIRC

Had one of the first ones on my estate. Bright orange with the high saddle roll bar. Had some of the happiest days of my life on that bike, loved it to bits. My best mate and I modified ours with racing bike front forks to make them look more like the choppers in Easy Rider, he was Peter Fonda to my Dennis Hopper. I well remember a certain young lady friend used to like riding with me as pillion passenger, I can still see that pert little ass going up and down in front of me. Those were the long summer days!!!

Too right Darth, never mind the warning on the strap that seat was made for two.  Ghetto blaster hanging of the back bar blasting out Led Zeppelin my lady friend and I heading up the fields in the bright sun shine, Oh for a time machine!!!

I wasn't allowed one. Not practical enough. :'(  Got a Raleigh racer instead which,incidentally, I've just ridden 10 miles on, for the first time after years languishing in the shed and an evening of TLC.

Doubt I'd get far on a chopper these days, so my parents were right, as usual. Could do with a few lower gears for the hills. Don't remember noticing that when I was 13. ::)
