i'm one of the moron's who bought a 40k chopper just because it was the lastest craze [.hell they were all over the t.v.] i found out the hard way that they ride like ****,and handle even worse.now my 2 year old monster is only worth half of what i paid.lookin for some one dumber than me to save my credit rating,and to shut my wife up.

That's too bad. I should have snagged a picture of the chopper as well.

Funny story...

About two years ago my buddy was at a home improvement show and one of the booths was a MN chopper booth. Not sure how it qualifies as home improvement .. but anyway, he got to talking to the chopper guys, liked the bike, but mentioned the ridiculous price tag (it was around $40k IIRC). The chopper guy's response was that they had a 'mortgage specialist' on hand so customers could take out a HELOC to buy their bikes .. luckily my buddy isn't THAT stoopid, but I suspect many others are.

Seems there are a lot of those guys out there. A good friend of mine with more money then smarts when it come to bikes got a Big Dog. Lost 20 k for the joy of using it 1 year and very little at that since he was afraid of getting it scratched. Got a Hardly to ride while he was trying to sell the Dog.
