I'd like to meet:
Lets hear from another so-called expert, to find out why bikes were chopped in the first place. This is from a regular “Harley Heritage†column written by Greenwich Village bootmaker Jim Babchak, in “American Iron†magazine. His June ’97 column was about Hollister 1947, and contained the following passages.“By definition, an outlaw biker in the ‘40’s was a motorcyclist who was not associated with the AMA and who was “outlawed†from participating in AMA-sanctioned events. The outlaws usually rode “bobbers†or “bob jobsâ€, which were basically Harleys or Indians with the fenders bobbed off, or removed altogether, for increased speed and better looks. All additional accessories were also chopped off as well. Clearly, these machines were the direct linear grandparents of the modern-day chopper.â€
“Regardless of the social ramifications of Hollister and its aftermath on the image of motorcyclists, what I really love about the period are the bobbed motorcycles themselves. Those glorious stripped-down 1940’s hotrods with their brazen attitudes and unmistakable character are the purest machines on the planet, bar none.
In the new world order of customizing your Evo out of a catalogue or over-restoring your antique bike to the same monotonous levels of all the other over-restored antiques, these ‘40’s hotrods may be the only real bikes left. To those outlaws of 50 years ago whose bikes shine a light on what cool really is, I say thank you fellas. Keep the candle burning.â€
