NVWOCI WVS Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I'm building some sort of chopper/longbike at some point (when I have time!) and I reckon it would be quite cool if a few people on here tried to make their own?! If a few TF members built choppers we could do some sort of charity ride on them in the summer, like a coast to coast on homebuilt choppers or maybe a slightly less ambitious distance?! We could also have custom sigs probably a really stupid idea, but what do you all think? Edited March 6, 2008 by samdoman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I've wanted to do this for ages - if I had couple of old bikes I'd do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Stupid questions, but when you say choppers are you talking of the cycle kind or the motorcyle kind?I've got a Raleigh Chopper sitting in my shed, so if your talking of the cycle variety I'd be up for it.

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm sure if we were doing this for charity we could get other forum members to donate their unwanted crap to build a few decent choppers?Would anyone be up for giving old crap away for free? then we could sell the bikes afterwards and raise even more money!

NVWOCI WVS Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 If we're serious about this and theres a decent number of us we should get this properly organised! we need a list of people who would like to take part, a central point to meet at the start/end of the ride and some way of accepting sponsorship (paypal account?) any suggestions of charities to raise money for? could go towards Oli's mini fund perhaps?

Hendrix Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 South Coast seems the best idea. Probably going to be the warmest place to do to it, and probably got some of the nicest coastal routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i think we should make a list of where where are and our names so we can get a vauge idea... ill start please add yourself so we can fine the nearest coast to ride! 1.
