Choppers
 

After seeing so many choppers built on TV, I was wondering: What's the purpose of a sissy bar, and why is it called a sissy bar?

'Scuse me for living under my little rock of music and ... whatever else I do, but... The fuck is a chopper? Is it a motorcycle, or a helicopter? I've seen the 'Orange County Choppers' logo on bloody well everything... What is it?

*Prepares to receive barrage of ape-like screaming and faeces labeled 'google' being thrown at her*

Chopper in this case, is most likely referring to motorcycles because a sissy bar is a U-shaped bar meant to be primarily cosmetic but can be used as support for either the ride or passenger. Riders shouldn't need a backrest. Thus the name sissy bar. it's a metal bar for sissies. not prevalent on sport or dirt bikes. seen on older cruisers and ... well... "choppers".

Here WR, This is a Harley with sissy bar (psst the seat part)

ill be damned if I am the passenger on one and the guy hits a bump and i slide off the back due to wearing parachute pants. I guess im a sissy.

Others might flame you, but I try not to roll that way.

You've never seen American Chopper? Then this is perfect timing. A.C. Week starts tomorrow night on The Discovery Channel.

Also, check out Orange County Choppers.

I also just noticed in my DTV guide that the "Jet Bike" episode is on @ 2pm CST today.

I don't get it, you agree with Nuss, then you say it's cool.

Do you like the show or not? :confused:

Boring question....

I often see Orange County being mentioned, often without which state it's in. I know there are orange counties in many states... is it a special county, is there one in every state? I'd appreciate an answer, thanks.

OCC is located in Montgomery, New York

Other Orange Counties
