Chopper Hobo Deluxe Edition 1979-1983: California 1983 to 1988 - 6901

A unique true-life story of a young carpenter/chopper builder setting out for a new life on his home-built chopper, leaving Dallas Texas for the wondrous Pacific Northwest. Sometimes things don't work out as planned, and after trying the new life for a little over a year, falls flat on his face, loses his job, has to sell his car and leave the apartment and live on the chopper for the next 18 months. The story goes from tent living in the Cascade Mountains with the black bears back to Dallas for the winter, then back to the Cascades in the early cold spring, then rides down and stays in flop house seedy hotels in San Francisco for a job and then back on the road again. There are 246 pages of fun and terror, 215 vintage chopper photos of life on the road. Imagine "Then Came Bronson" crossed with the "Easy Rider" movie, except he doesn't get killed in the end. This is a 4-year slice of the 50+ years he has spent on the same chopper, through 7 bare frame-up builds, a very different type of book.
