Choppers, originally the favored rides of outlaw bikers, represent the pinnacle of today's motorcycling chic. Choppers designed by top builders routinely command six-figure prices. Once relegated to the scrap heap of pop-culture history along with wide lapels, mutton-chop sideburns, and macram\233 vests, the chopper has returned to the cultural forefront. Today's choppers, rigid-framed, 125-horsepower steeds thrusting their extended forks down America's public highways, violate our sensibilities with their sheer outrageousness. Outlaw Choppers tells the story of these wild machines, where they came from, what's going on today, and where they're going in the future.
