Chopper!!

I don't think that any other word can rekindle my youth than 'Chopper' can. I used to own a purple Raleigh Chopper (with the central gear stick) and I was really pleased to see them back on the road again. This sign on the seat of one locked outside my college did seem to go against the chopper spirit for me just a little. Am I the only one that can remember going over homemade jumps with a friend on the handlebars and another two on the seat behind me? Political/health and safety correctness gone wrong. (I do still probably have a few scars from when I was young ~ all part of the process of growing up for us; nt that I would ever let my daughter do the same)
