2009 Choppers Australia Mega
Run...

In October 2009, Chopper riders from
the eastern states of Australia are joining together for a three
week run on their choppers to South Australia. Choppers
Australia members from Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania and
Victoria will join together along the route. A WA member is also
planning to join in the fun. This could be Australia's most
exciting chopper event ever...
South Australian chopper riders plan
to meet them at the border and escort them to Adelaide where a
couple of events including a chopper show are being organised.
The riders will then return via a different route.
Most of the bikes being ridden the
5000km trip will be 30+ year old or seventies style rigid choppers
and bobbers. Riders ages vary from mid sixties to mid
twenties.
Choppers Australia members are
planning to club together to build a chopper for one of our members
from the USA to ride, who is planning to come over especially to
join in this fantastic experience.
Watch out here for more information as
the Choppers Australia Mega Run gets closer...

2009 Queensland-SA Mega ride
(approx 4500km round trip)...
Plans at this stage are to take two
weeks sometime between August and October 2009. Riders will
skirt Sydney and Melbourne and pick up chopper riders along the way.
They will be received royally in SA with a special chopper muster
that will include trophies. many of the participants will be
riding rigid choppers, so road speeds will not be excessive.

Build that chop...
Be it long and lean or low and mean,
High in the head or low instead,
Rigid, swing arm, plunger heel...
Anything to give that chopper feel.
Stretch and rake just
oozes class.
Chrome, alloy, classy paint job, what a blast.
Harley, Italian, Jap or Brit,
When it’s fully chopped it’ll fit.
Planned in the kitchen, built in the shed,
You
spin your spanners, while your lady’s abed.
It’s a part of you, not
some mega-buck clone.
Your
chop is best ‘cos it’s built at home.

A stocker? No way! That
ain’t cool...
It’s
over real chops that the chickies drool.
So you build your chop
though it’s not all fun.
You
sweat and swear ‘til you get it done.
Finished! Your baby's a
beaut and tracks real sweet
Roar
of exhaust, stretched out feet,
Riding your chopper come
what may,
Wind
in your face; you're King for the day…
