Old School Chopper SURVIVOR from the '70s!

[@Ontheroad1100]

As a kid I would go to a bikers pub in the 70s/80s. Most were beezers and triumphs and the odd Harley. But they were nearly all chops like the one in your video. And that's why I ride a chop now

[@HotRodHoarder]

That's awesome!

[@stwhite5135]

Thanks for the video. I still have my first motorcycle, 1967 BSA Lightning Rocket. Bought it in 1969. Still running strong. I mainly ride a Harley Sportster now but you can't beat the sound of a British Twin. I'm 75.

I bought a chopper years ago it was a 750 Honda motor on a California hard tail, it was a gut buster, and took a half acre to turn it around. At one time I had 14 motorcycles even a QA 50 honda,tiny little thing. It was fun, and hard to ride, an XLCR 100 HD, WHEN I MOVED , AND TRADED MY XLCR FOR A FULL DRESSED GOLDWING! THAT WAS THE SMOOTHEST BIKE I HAD, WON Many trophy with it at shows, then I was in a car wreck and lost my left leg, and didn't ride again, I thought about a 450 step thru honda scooter, maybe soon, at 70 yrs old I can't have a wreck , I would break ...

[@BilgemasterBill]

@@stevehilliard1495 If you cannot manage for some reason to resurrect one or both bikes yourself, then maybe "trade in kind" or sell one to have the other fixed? If you go that "trade in kind" route, offering one of those bikes for having the other fixed, then you'd be wise to hand over that trade bike ONLY after the fixed bike is actually fixed, ridden to your door and test ridden. It's hard enough to dodge the "dreamers", flakes and time wasters. No need to remove their incentive to fix YOUR bike before theirs, amirite? 'Cause some folks will just shine you on. You got a KZbin account. So use it. Show the bikes, lay out an offer and see what happens.

My first Chopper was a BSA.

[@jesseraina1614]

Omg I love this everything from the bikes to the mods to the full size 1970s and 80s vans. I was born in 91 so the Decades Of the Popular Custom Vans Was Gone But My Father Was Very In To Them, And The 1960s 1970s Chopper Mc With Custom Long Or Super Long Forks High Ape hangers or High Handle Bars The Big Engine And That Fat Rear Tire And Massively Tall Sissy Bar My Moms Bikes From Childhood These Bikes Were There Dreams And Alot Of Them Either Still Had One From There Childhood Or Rebought Or Built One. The Era Of Crazy Custom Long Fork High Sissy Bars Tall Handles And Full Size Vans Usually Short Wheelbase Dodge Gm Modified With Custom Single Mushroom Outer Style Bubble Window A Airbrushed Fancy Painting On The Side Side Roof And Under Car Lights Roof Hood Spoiler Brim Thing Big Dual Exhaust Nice Custom Built Small Block Then The Custom Interior design rv to conversion van style to shag wagons with shag carpet head to toe bed tv fridge bar satelite phone no windows except the bubble windows maybe the barn doors and the front windows. I love these style of vans and motorcycles unfortunately since I was kid then as a pre teen and teen the custom cans and full size long medium. And short wheelbase Ford dodge gm vans started disappearing at a high rate. And the classic hells angels documentaries and the classic 1960s 1970s style Dream Mc the Harley's or any mc really with long forks high handle bars high sissy bars big wheels fat rear tire skinny front and big engine with loud dual or fat single exhaust have disappeared. Then later on as I grew from a kid to pre teen to teen to adult to now 32 the G Body Chassis Cars Use to be on the road for poor or blue collar working poor people or fancier ones people had since new driving daily or people who stored them now. Everything from the Malibu couples, Monte Carlos, cutlass, regal, grand Prix etc have mostly disappeared or are extremely damaged or are prided so expensive I remember then as budget affordable comfortable cars with a little power and a slouch v8 or worse the v6s not counting the Gn and Gnx. They were cars horrible for building a pro street car but was done but great in the sense that they were cheap lots of variants big engine bays for swaps seated 5 no problem unless it was the el Camino and you had muscle carish sports carish luxury budget affordable luxury both, a part car part truck, a fancy Oldsmobile cutlass supreme ultimate budget luxury, slow v8 or v6 slow compared to previous 350 rockets and 455 olds. Then you had the Oldsmobile performance coupe that werent muscle cars but were a cross between a muscle car a budget luxury car and a pony car. Like the Oldsmobile Hurst/Olds and Oldsmobile 442 fancy colors, different wheels, hood, seats lighter, no vinyl top, shedding wright and making it more performance styled some had a spoiler and front and rear racing bumpers then slightly bumped up engines making aittle more power and a awesome shifter like in one of them we got Hurst lightning shifter that you had 3 sticks. You pushed all 3 down or up I forget then you want 1st you mfowd the furthest stick down or up then 2nd moved the middle and to get 3rd or over drive forget you hit the second one was very cool. Other then then the crap 305s which were small and massively built with smog. And the horrible triangler suspension which made the cars very bad for added power making it due the Infamous G Body Shuffle. Which was the suspension making the cars rear end shifting left to right down the road. Other than that multiple amounts of models with even more trim options and sub models then car variants, cheap but affordable and lots of room for buying an upgrade model weather it's power style luxury you're after weather it's full out top performance like the Buick grand national gnx or a cheaper more simply quicker than the regular ones but not crazy fast or crazy expensive and very stylish like the Monte Carlo ss and the Oldsmobile 442 and Hurst olds

Go through the bearings put some tires on it and a little love and you’ll a have cool old school ride. Somebody is going to have great time with this old bike.

[@BilgemasterBill]

"Go through the bearings"? From his closing comments in the video I get the impression he might not even bother to give it a good cleaning, let alone tear it down for a looksee inside. Frankly, I'm not really sure WHY they bought it, if it's only maybe to "collect dust", as he says. But I'm not familiar with this channel or what they're all about. Maybe they just want to assemble random vehicles to watch them oxidize? Or just flip them? I dunno. I do know that what this Beeza wants right now is "The Kind Oily Rag Treatment": a good cleaning helps identify issues. A little nice wintergreen-smelling Marvel Mystery Oil on a red "grippy" mechanic's towel and an old toothbrush with just a little elbow grease will work wonders for those alloy and chrome and other bits alike, and puts corrosion on the run. Treat that chrome to a small part of a $4 bottle of Turtle Wax Chrome Polish in the humble green bottle, and you'll soon feel even better about the project. Then pull the fuel tank off and at least give its innards a good rinse. From the starts shown in the video, I'd guess those easy-as-a-simplified-carb-diagram Amal Concentrics could probably use a little cleaning too...or at least just pull off the float bowl (just two screws and the banjo union and bolt), put on some eye protection, and give it a really good blasting with some spray carb cleaner, especially up through the little brass jets. Once again: Wear eye protection! That spray concoction will ricochet off in strange and wonderful directions and do your peepers no favors. I'd replace those brittle-as-hell-looking yellow-brown fuel lines for maybe a buck, but do feel free to risk finding yourself in a big orange fireball and ignore them. Then check or change the oil if it's really ghastly, refit tank and fuel lines, put in maybe a gallon of nice fresh fuel (ethanol-free if you can get it) and then maybe a half to a full can "overdose" of SeaFoam. That's a "shock treatment" to help dislodge any recalcitrant cloggy "cruds" in the fuel system (also helpful for coaxing bikes out of winter or other prolonged storage). Wait a bit to check for leaks, such as could be caused by poorly seated/sealed fuel lines or sticky or gummy fuel level floats or needles and seats. While waiting and watching "degronch" the clutch, meaning, hold in the clutch lever while kicking through the kickstart lever several times. This will help free up any clutch plates stuck together from long inactivity. When ready, tickle the carbs, ignition on, and commence giving it the boot. They were already getting good bark in the video, so if all's now a bit tidier in her carbs, this should coax her back to a decent idle after a bit. Normally, I'd have also had a look at the spark plugs, with maybe a scrub of them, and shot a squirt of Marvel, ATF or even oil down into the bores while they were open, just to ease things up in there, but that horse already left the barn. If the tires hold air, a bit of a top-off couldn't hurt, but new rubber's highly advised before any real road work. But all this might give you a working bike--enough at least to then determine what "needs to be fixed properly". I've resurrected FAR worse. And while I doubt this type of chopper's ever going to really come back "in mainstream style", it has its own timeless virtues for sure. Hell, I'd give it a good home...and maybe a front brake too.
