Little did I know as a kid at my Grandfathers place in San Lorenzo that I was surrounded by so much chopper wizardry in nearby San Leandro, Hayward, and Oakland.

Man I grew up in the East Bay, and I can remember more that a few of these 60's and 70's choppers around in the late 80's, and 90's. I kick myself now, because they could have been bought for next to nothing. But we were young, and thought we knew everything, and at the time we made fun of them. Stupid!!!! What's so rad about alot of the Hayward/San Leandro bikes, is that they never ran foot pegs. They would just hang their boot heal on the frame or pipes. Punkers!
justi say wow!!!! what a post!!!
cool you grew up in east bay area back then.
choppers and bobbers are just like rock n roll music....the song remains the same! ;-)
