Some kind of Motorbike/ chopper made out of Creator set 5867 Super Speedster. I needed a break from all the car alternatives, but this set is not great for creating bikes, so this was more of a joke.

For the 50 challenge LUGNuts ( Lime chopper Mysterious)

I hear the call of a siren

This lady is quite

Mysterious

I want your mind to lock in

If my life were a glass of water

Filled by the rain from a velvet sky

I want you to drink

Because your lips are dry

This moment in time

I follow her blind

This lady is quite

Mysterious

I want your mind to lock in

This time I tought I got you baby

But you slipped away

And I tought I'd die

This moment in time

I'm losing my mind

But she remains quite

Mysterious

I'm crossing the line

I will follow her blind

This lady is quite

Mysterious

I want your mind to lock in

I'm losing my mind

I hear the call of a siren

This lady is quite

Mysterious

I want your mind to lock in

You're so bad

I thought I knew you baby

But I don't know you at all

It's got the taste you know it's got the taste

Of an eternal life

Trike Chopper Bike

The Raleigh Chopper is a children's bicycle, a wheelie bike, manufactured and marketed in the 1970s by the Raleigh Bicycle Company of Nottingham, England. Its unique design became a true 70s cultural icon, and is fondly remembered by many who grew up in that period. Based on the look of a customised chopper motorcycle, made popular with films such as Easy Rider, the Chopper bike was the "must have" item and signifier of coolness for many children at the time.

Ogle Design claim to have designed the Chopper for Raleigh. They actually only produced concept art for the Raleigh design department headed by Alan Oakley; only the seat and spoke protector were taken up. The final design of the Chopper was submitted by Oakley's department to management and production started in 1968. Raleigh themselves built a copy of the chopper-like Schwinn Sting-Ray they called the Rodeo, which was launched in the US in 1966. It was not a success, but its design clearly was a forerunner of the Chopper. This lack of success prompted Raleigh to send its chief designer, Alan Oakley, to America to investigate first hand the U.S. youth market. Oakley saw that a new bike was required, in a very non Schwinn style. On the aeroplane home Oakley pencilled the first outlines of what would become the Chopper onto the back of an Airmail envelope.

The popularity of the Chopper also led to a range of smaller bikes following a similar design theme. These included the Raleigh Chipper, Tomahawk, Budgie and Chippy models aimed at younger riders.

The Chopper was patented in 1967 by Raleigh for the American youth market. The Chopper was introduced at American trade shows in January 1969 & first shipments to North American dealers in June 1969. It is introduced in the UK in 1970. The bike featured a 3-speed, 5-speed, and single-speed Sturmey Archer gear hub, selected using a frame-mounted console gear lever — one of its "cool" features. Other features that appealed to the youth market were the unusual frame, long padded highback seat, sprung seat at the back, high-rise (ape hanger) handlebars, 'bobbed' mudguards (fenders) and differently sized front (16") and rear (20") wheels. The rear hoop above the seat resembled a motorcycle 'sissy bar'. Even the kickstand was designed to give the stationary bicycle a lean reminiscent of a parked motorcycle.[9] Tyres were wider than usual for the time, with a chunky tread on the rear wheel, featuring a red line around the sidewall. The price was from approximately £32 for a standard Chopper to £55 for the deluxe.

Quite a few people stopped to take photos of this motorcycle today. It was parked at the Port 73 mall. The owner has built it himself. You can spot my ride in the background, possibly not as cool as this one.

Looks like this bike was last cleaned at about the same time that its rider got his last haircut. Still, an honest-to-goodness old school chopper!

Don't know what kind of aircraft this is but I like it.

This is just a cool chopper bike that my dad has.

This a lego chopper that I built for the "55th Build Challenge...Rubber Side Down, Shiny Side Up!" at LUGnuts. I tried to give it a kind of "modern day showbike" -feel. Some of the details could be better IMO, but I think the overall look is really cool.
