    "Your custom super chopper will definitely attract a lot of attention anywhere you come."
    I really don't think it'll be the chopper that willl be attracting all the attention...

    A Chopper for me is something you should have built by yourself and with a bit of help here and there from friends. I you don't have the time you can let others do it after your designs. But that's not hardcore.
    Just other one ready and itäs just like any "custum" jap, a bit nice and so but not something you can take any pride in.
    I have built a few on low budget (Harleys and one Triumph). I regret that I don't have any of them left. And the requerid budget have gon up a bit.
    One the other hand, I used to rebuild a few racers to:).
    I do need a garage and a bit more maney and build me a car. Star with a Cobra or seven kit, next would be a cool Hotrod an then I would gp for racer again. Full circel. Or a cheap, fast simply put together car with as much offshelves ass possibly.. or a few others. So, i I had the resources, where to begin? I wouldn't have the time, I got a few other projects going as well.
    Step1. Improve my skills in CAD, I'll guess.

    I guess Wright-CRX outsourced their marketing to Bangalore where they are giant fans of advertising and pay big attention to each detail of their print ads.

    "Motorcycles"? There are so many better options:
    - Cyclopnik
    - Bikelopnik
    - Motorlopnik
    - Choplopnik/Crotchlopnik
    - Squidlopnik
    If planes and rocketships get their own suffix, why not vehicles that are always MT RWD?

    Anyway, my vote is for Choplopnik here because I don't want to be lumped in with the whole "chopper" scene.

    @BaconSandwich just found out how to change his...: Dragons, motorcycles, and ow my balls, my three favorite things.
    @joneez: And you could probably find a cvt and maybe even a fwd/awd. But I stand by "always" in a practical sense. Good moto minutia knowledge though.

    @mr_dude: Getting pedantic, there's also a FWD motorcycle from sometime in the 30's (I think). It had the engine mounted with the front wheel. I had an article on it somewhere, but I don't know what happened to the magazine.

    Please tell me this advertisement was translated (poorly) into the local language and then back to English. It reads like a Japanese advert.
