• Would YOU ride this mo...
I know crazy long fork choppers aren't for everyone but even if you don't like this motorcycle you'd got to admire the insane craftsmanship on display here. FNA and Fat American Choppers are amazing builders and I'm happy they let me do a feature on this bike... so I hope you guys show em some love on Instagram!
To me, this kind of bike perfectly exemplifies the anti-everything attitude that I love about choppers. It's even ANTI chopper! Till next time y'all, keep it weird. #shadetreearmy
Would YOU ride this motorcycle??? The Glam Fairy Chopper

[@Patrick_B687-3]

Well said indeed.

[@kiwibadger7826]

so well put, I don't get it at all.......I appreciate the craftsmanship and time, just don't know why you'd make something that blocks the view of where you're going.

[@ChrisIsOutside]

hahaha! I was going to comment but that sums up everything

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Ditto - what the holy mother of Mary is that all about!!!! Love it!!!

[@j.ramone4116]

pretty shit innit.love chops and most bikes.but i like to see the road and where im going.dont need anything that slows you down

[@Dankwheelie]

That thing is so nutty! 😆🤘

[@BurkiesWorld]

tanks so high the thumbnail looked like you were ripping a fat wheelie

[@downiemcsyndrome8067]

Lmao, true

[@VincentsVariety]

Between no mirrors, having to look around the handlebars to see, the design of the handlebars, the kick start, and suicide shifter, I'd definitely couldn't ride it. So the fact that he likes it shows how skilled of a rider he is and the fact that some people just love something different. It is a pretty cool bike though

[@denzel270]

No (or practically worthless) front brake and an open, chain driven primary as more testing features on this very cool chop.

[@SoundOfSilenceWolf]

Dude this thing would make a kickass dualsport bike.

[@EvilNeil187]

lol I would crash that shit in 5 seconds...

Thank you so much for showing us the raw footage. This is the coolest thing I've seen all week.

[@fireballrust]

That bike is completely bad ass, and seeing this video made my day much better !!!!!!

[@Harsh_Trip]

this is hands down the best bike iv seen on this channel. please more custom choppers 🙏🙏🙏

[@TheBootGuyreviews]

Thank you. As a non-rider seeing a machine like this operated from this perspective is cool.

[@rickhay9782]

Dude, that bike is badass and you sir are the man !!

[@daviddelano-oakes1082]

That is one heck of a beautiful bike and the sound wow. I watched this video with headphones in till the end and when I took my headphones off my ears felt like I was at a slayer concert lol awsome episode shadetree surgeon 😎😎😎😎😎

[@jamesrichardson4741]

FUCK YEAH! Man, you need to ride this bike.All your humble followers would love to see you take the ride of all rides.

[@bay4west]

That bike is ridiculous, I love it! Looks fun to ride.

[@Friscorockhead]

I admire people like Eric so much. He's a mix of artist, engineer, fabricator, and mechanic. Any one of those things is cool in my book, but he's all of them. Even if you don't like the bike you have to acknowledge how talented he is.

[@erictaunton2183]

Enjoyed cruising with you man great

[@kosmoto]

lol holy crap, I don't think I could ride with how those handlebars are angled xD A decent amount of time ago now I had a bmx frame that I extended the fork tubes on by about 5 feet and strapped a weedeater motor to the rear tire on friction drive...that thing was my daily commuter to high school for a year and it was fun as hell. Topped out at like 30 but got there pretty quick haha. Thanks for sharing this, dude! Hecka cool bike!

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Damn i needed that ride brother man !!!!! Been stuck in snow land for a long cold snowy winter. Today is first warm sunny day. I love these go pro rides that just sound like it does when your out on a ride. Sweet ass bike btw. Dont understand why more people dont feel the same way about old school choppers. Damn sissies they are. Have a good one brother.

[@JTOWNDOWN1312]

This makes me feel inadequate. Glad you put this out man. I wish more people did chopper videos on. Here Instagram isn’t enough sometimes 😂

[@planefloat]

Fantastic skill and coordination, hats off to you man! And I "get it" .....

[@jay34ever54]

I could listento and watch that forever!

[@tat2wheelz]

Def a cool look. Would have to be a crazy experience to ride!!

[@thefly1ngdutchm4n]

Take it offroad😜

[@TheDarkSoul6660]

That was a great day to ride a awesome bike! I liked the bike, it was very nicely made and designed, and it takes a lot of strength to ride one handed , its also very badass!

[@katsugi183]

Amazing ❤️❤️❤️that it runs and sound badass

[@jollygoodgordon5580]

Amazing bike

[@thomasgorre9285]

Badass rainbows come out of the exhaust.

[@johnthewolfheart8495]

Smiling ear to ear :) Would love to ride that!

[@wornoutshoes81]

The Glam Fairy! Looks more like a Purple People Eater, lols. This bike is GORGEOUS!!! Beautiful Florida day for a ride too. Hope to see you someday around Central FL. 🤘🏻

[@CR250noob95]

That would do my head in having to keep peering round the side to see where to go. I can appreciate the workmanship tho and the time put into it.

[@emascarri1]

The handlebars are basically a sight for rear ending cyclists. Love it.

[@spencerallen323]

Mad respect.

[@HARMARSCH2]

Very cool. I like this.

[@redanarchybaby5018]

That thing is one magic machine

[@Von_Fink]

That thing looks like pink death. It's awesome.

[@warrenfloyd1484]

Too friggin cool, I want it!!!!👍😎

[@TheVikingBiker]

That thing is crazy! It looks so hard to see the road in front and your hands are so close together with those bars!

[@josephbriggs_859]

This man is the essence of a righteous. Smother then cream corn.

[@feraluniverse]

2 words. Functional Art.

[@Mikehoncho87]

Fuuuck I love that bike.

[@whatyoumakeofit6635]

Damn shattered!!!!! Who was this ? That bike is the cats meowww meow.

[@InvictvsNox]

I've literally never been so terrified of watching someone ride a motorcycle.

[@lunchmeat3814]

Love it. Wouldnt ride it but love it.

[@stevenfacemier6787]

I so wanna give that a try.

[@AndyMADe1968]

Hi, shadetree surgeon. I'm currently building a trike with a long fork and high traverses. I really like your unusual chopper. But there is always one question - how do you look at the road if you have a tank and springs right in front of your eyes? Or do you always look to the right or left of the fork? Is it inconvenient or just a matter of habit? Thank you if you answer.)

[@ks-zc1jh]

Truly a work of art. It's so thin, you could slip it under the door.

[@warrenfloyd1484]

A question, what is your lowest chopper? Handle bars and seat hieght?

[@Pootshaak]

Hell yeah!

[@Grimexperience62]

I would have chosen I different color but I love it!

[@chaderspock]

Do you guys ride near south florida? I live in fort lauderdale and would like to ride with you guys at least once

[@nativeeurope1299]

beautiful. Looks like you yanked it straight out if a time machine ca 1971.

[@Patrick_B687-3]

I admire the skill, and craftsmanship, and really dig that engine, but nope...that ain't for me.

[@brucekirk5386]

I'm surprised I moved down to Texas 2 years ago and thought every guy here was gay and liked fruity looking shit.....lol

[@desmondmoonbear8149]

Yes

[@Nikko_861]

Real sassy the way he rest his hand 🤣

[@BrosinsMusic]

The danger level on that thing is maxed out! lol I like how the enormous sissy bar hits him in the head, its like hey, im fuckin huge, walk around me.

[@bc7875]

Is that camera set on birdeye or something weird? Making me dizzy it is.

[@FXDLS-ot1wq]

I’m so used to seeing you ride the Ducati from first person view... I’m not used to the 3rd person view of the dad jeans.

[@RidingJapan]

FXDLS1990 yeah same here, wish he'd put more cams on his friends

[@atsuensteve3843]

VERY COOL!

[@naps3386]

Actually looks comfy

[@world-wide9136]

Amazing ride .. you just gotta get used to it . I got a long fork chopper too 👍

[@josephcrisci7722]

Would this be good bike to take license test with

[@paulallen-01]

You have a giant pair to take that thing on a main road 😂 !!!! I wouldn’t have made it outta the driveway

[@coastlinemenace8579]

Is that Florida?

[@policerKJO]

pop in the audio is interference from the magnetos and the old style wires

[@mornbar1]

Magneto's? as in plural? Dear God! Dos Jean luc Picardo! Runaway! (I'll show myself out, thanks)

[@Kristoffceyssens]

when a man deathrow tries to kill himself, they revive him just so they could cary out his sentence. You dont get to show yourself out with that kind of humor.

[@alu6363]

This is cool ass hell... That is the purest way to ride a chopper... Not made for the avarage Harley Hipster out there... Im building one too... Keep up the good work and ride hard... Stay dangerous...

[@Bulletstop75]

Speechless. That is high art meets brilliant engineering.

[@wayneschenk5512]

Addictive.

[@33000___Feet]

Haha wow. How much cc? Engine size?

[@punkrocker915]

jesus that bike is so old school badass. it terrifies me on how to ride it, but fucking badass

[@DonaMane]

I couldn't see myself riding with bars that narrow and forks that long maybe something a little more subtle with a CB 750 motor to boot!

[@walterfechter8080]

Personally, I'd never run forks any longer than six over (with no rake). I also believe in running a decent front brake. As long as the bike isn't a rolling disaster and the fork/frame geometry is set up right, I say to each their own. I've seen bikes built by the Kennedy brothers, when they had a shop in Arizona. They built some insanely-long bikes, but those same machines handled very well. Likewise for bikes built by the legendary Sugar Bear.

[@bowbeuphonium]

Its radical and beautiful but it makes me wonder if Florida doesn't have some law against a bike that obstructs your forward vision that totally. Real nice exhaust note, the engine rebuild is one of its best features, a lot of nice steampunk touches like the brass gascap. The paint kicks ass

[@martyking6942]

[@soxgopro5552]

The family in the car behind him, “mommy, why is that fat guy wearing a pink thong” ?

[@AimlessMoto]

But... how?!?

[@DeadnCold]

Riding that thing would scare the crap outta me. Dude has balls of cast iron.

[@MRREE-zw6xc]

You made that look easy to ride. I would ate shit turning out of the driveway haha.

[@timfoley3189]

19 seconds oh the pain whispers. .... whisper's!

[@Rideologist]

Such an odd handlebar setup lol

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

HVRL3Y they dont move as much as i thought they would seem to handle well

[@CravinMorehead420]

Wild

[@ValeTijuas]

I wonder how many miles per gallon?

[@geektheyeti6211]

It seems that the handle bar set allows him to control the bike with minimal counter steer.

[@mikeward2465]

Like you, I'd rather be on a 50cc moped than four wheels. I got to get down there sometime.

[@austinwillard1]

Nice

[@DeluxeChimp]

I'd love to squeeze that chop in between all of the Glides lined up at the local watering hole - just to watch the egos deflate.

[@_Tesla_Corp._]

Limited vision, not mirror, is this bike legal??? I'm not sure but suppose here in Spain is not

[@gabodestruction1100]

en España es ilegal asta tirarse un pedo

[@Tom2112Tom]

I'm just trying to figure out where the clutch is...

[@EkenTaipodia1980]

What's the total fuel capacity of the fuel tank ?? 2 litres or 2 and 1/2 litres ?? ☝️

[@cetate93]

I bet it tracks good

[@richardbarr3153]

Ill stick to my nightrod thats blue and has slip ons. Everyone has a cycle that defines personal taste

[@mikeward2465]

If it's got wheels I can drive it wings I can fly it, fur I can ride it and a beat I can dance to it.

[@tobymurs6495]

How does one enjoy driving this ?

[@robh4671]

I have to wonder would this Bike be Legal in the UK ??

[@gho3tsoldier1]

Who needs to look over the top when you can look around the side..LOL

[@daniel62162]

Fuck that man. You can't even see forward on that thing. I find it kinda necessary to see where I'm going when I'm riding hahaha great video, wicked bike

[@FredricMccubrey]

it looks cool but i prefer not having to look around the bars and would take a dual sport any day.

[@sheadoesntgetit7084]

Where is the clutch??

[@frankielemonjello]

Sounds like the camera is picking up the mags... Lol!

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

put slicks on this puppy for a mad track day!

[@coolmusic1579]

You know​ what that bike needs? Some tall ape hanger handlebars. 👍
