2002 Chopper, 2006 Springer, 2004 Texas Chopper And A 1998 FXSTC - Reader's Showcase

We would like to start by asking you, the reader, to help us with your ride submissions. There is no shortage of Readers' Rides coming across the editor's desks; however, only about 1/4 of them can be used. The reason: bad photos, little or no info about the bike, and even worse, no contact info to get better photos or the needed bike specs. So before you put a stamp on that envelope or send out that e-mail, make sure that you have filled out the basics: Your name, phone number and/or e-mail, where you're from. Then fill out a spec sheet-all you need to do is copy the info from the magazine: Motor, tran, frame, wheels, and so on. Last, a brief history about you and your bike. Now that you know exactly what we're looking for, we can't wait to see what you're going to send in. Thanks!

Ten Months And Ten Days
When Mike Whorley started to build this bike, all he knew was it was going to be a chopper. How he was going to get there was a different story. Mike started with the Rolling Thunder rigid, and after hearing everyone tell him to keep the motor in line something closer to stock ci with a rigid, he said "the hell with that-go big." A 127ci El Bruto was mounted in this frame to rip up the road and his back. But Mike said this is the only way to go, so everything he did to this bike he did his way.

24-Skull Bike
Tony Simington had been told throughout his Army career that he was a number. So he wanted his bike to have its own number. But what? It did not come to him until he got the paint back with 24 skulls and 24 coats of clear. Fortunately, it did not take Tony 24 months to build. Once he had the H-D Frame and frontend together with a set of wheels as a roller, the rest of the bike went together fast.
