Ride what makes you happy. Personally, I like to ride my Harley on the highway where I can be alone. I don’t care about appearances.
Man, I love your vids. I found you due to wanting a dual-sport (and now definitely getting a WR250R) but I appreciate even the one’s that don’t feature the WR250R. You’re my favorite Moto-Tuber but now you’ve become one of my favorite people period. Great work.
Some boring ass streets , all looks the same
A kid i worked with watched to much occ and bought one.35 thousand and couldn’t ride it 30 miles.pure junk made by arrogant pricks.
You sound black in this video?
I don’t know if you have or not since I am new to your channel from Canada love your channel very fun and have a big heart I can tell anyways. Maybe test drive bikes that you have never driven and post vid and talk about them. I like your videos and I don’t even have a bike I’m a BMX guy but I do want a wify bike.
younger chicks seem to be more into sport bikes it seems.
hold on your not black wtf
the OCC bikes are not riding bikes they are just for looks I have a Harley I would never get a OCC bike to ride
choppers rules, superbikes are crap esspecially yellow color
supercharged choper for power and super moto for fun and change the tires for off road
w 117th couple blocks from me, great vids man keep reppin the 216
I’m about to build a chopper (just to cruise around town) I prefer Harley’s, but damn do I want super sports bike, just from working on them in motorcycle school and they’re bad ass bikes.
CycleCruza there is no reason to separate or ridicule. Choppers are for relaxed people who like to cruze around end enjoy the sight. I like all kinds of bikes, i ride em all, but for me choppers are tops. It is all about personality of a rider. Please next time do not generalize, it can be offensive.
Choppers are fine each has their own taste
Cycle there’s a bunch of choppers on the east side of Cleveland on my way home from work on Friday nights I see them all the time around 55th Buckeye Kinsman and Woodland area
ignorant
to cycle cruza choppers are hard to ride…. especially the hard tail ones. But they are a blast and you physically have to be in shape to ride if you are not it will hurt. It will eventually put you into shape because you have to muscle those bikes more than usual. And once your body gets used to it they ride like a dream.
Keep up the vids, good stuff
he clearly corrected himself and said he can hate on choppers. listen to his whole log not just WHAT u want to hear … cycle question when YOU let go of those handel bars on THOSE nasty pot hole filled streets AND groves dips arent u affraid its going to catch the front end abd and HAVE A FUCKED UP DAY! LOL love your vloggs i would LOVE to ride with ya but i dont ride in groups. hehehe
get you a honda fury that bike is comfy and smooth af. it handles ok too
Okay, tell me, I do tons of commuting [110+ per day] – I don’t see a liter bike providing the same amount of comfort over the long haul. What’s your take CycleCruza?
The chopper/cruiser crowd is like any other hobby that attracts more people that are in to a look or lifestyle rather than function/performance. I think you’re right they are works of art, but if your motivation is to ride…then there are many other choices. The irony is that the ‘cool’ factor of those bikes really only appeal to a very small segment of the moto population. To each their own as long as you don’t ride like a douche and think you own the road.
How do you “appreciate any motorcycle” but go on to say Choppers are crappier than super bikes. weird video. lol “I’m not gonna knock it before I ride it..I’m just going by what other people say”.. hates then throws in opinions ..Title of video is (Douchebags ride Chopper motorcycles) such a confusing Vlog. lol
Hey Cruza have you seen these bikers for TRUMP yet???
Why in the name of god is it always overcast and looking like its about to storm in your videos? Man, love the channel but its depressing.
Obviously you haven’t rode for many year or many different bikes. The Bike you ride gives riders bad names. I have ridden for over 50 years and I have some advice for you. Gold wings, Ultra HD, and most everything else. You just need to get on a American Iron Horse Texas Chopper. There is nothing that rides as smooth on the highway as a Texas Chopper. It really blew my mind and will yours too. Don’t judge what you haven’t ridden. I have ridden many bikes like yours and will never own one. A Motos would be the closest I would own. Any guy that rides in shorts is a dumbass not matter what he rides. Ride safe and TRY a HD Roadglide.
Just Ride
Maybe you should search for choppers cornering. There’s plenty raked out springer front shovelheads riding canyons.
so says the wigger squid ..
Camo Pants + Bike Color DON’T GO TOGETHER
So, Cruza, you used to live in Colorado? You think you’ll ever go back there? I’m looking to relocate, and I wonder why you ever left there.
It’s always cloudy in your Cincinnati.
how about bobbers?
i take my cruiser on the twisties all the time. im a sport bike guy at heart, but if youre a experienced rider, you can have a great time on a cruiser hittin the twisties. plus, contrary to what you believe, i have 18″ carlini apes on my vulcan drifter and its very stable, granted im 6’5″, but apes are stable if you dont get them too big. mine put my hands at shoulder heighth, which keeps my back straight and keeps me more comfortable on long rides. ive done week long rides on that bike camping off of it and the apes saved my back. but keep putting out these great vids, always entertaining.
high speed stability in a straight line. better than your sport bike. think about those long dragsters. other than that terrible at slow speeds for turning.
I agree. I think they look sick. And I’d love to ride one. But I’ve heard the same thing about the handling.
i miss occ, it sucks how they fought all the freaking time and ruined the show.
A chopper handles quit well tbh. But those costum builds are a whole diffrent story.
Yeah your right choppers are all about looks..my Moto Guzzi Griso was in for a service and I borrowed a chopper from the dealer..looked great but fuck what a pain in the Arse to ride.
I ride to enjoy the ride. If the bike is comfortable, I do not care what is under my ass. I have never had any of my bikes make me feel a particular way aside from confident about what is under me. I do grin every time I overtake a poser on a production chopper. The point to a chopper is you bought and chopped the bike yourself, you know custom. But today it is very rare to pass a personally chopped bike, they are just another over priced production bike that handles poorly. Most of them look like trailer queens and like they get very little actual riding time.
agreed
OCC FOR LIFE
To ride a chopper, is mainly used for the interstates for rides out to Sturgis, or Daytona Bike Week, and maybe to Bikes, Blues, and BBQ in Fayetteville, but to take a chopper out on the twisty roads here in Arkansas is probably not be a good idea. I have yet to see a chopper on a twisty road here in Arkansas, such as the Pig Trail or the Arkansas Dragon (aka Hwy 123 South), unless it is of the vertical kind that flies around in the sky. 🙂
I’ve ridden a few chopped rides that handle and perform really well, chopper doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to have a ridiculously extended rake on the bike, it just means it’s been chopped and modified, you’re right about performance if you’re talking about bikes with exaggerated front ends that end up with an over extended rake.
Why you sound like some country billy boy, but drive around in black hoods? xD Or am I way too sleepy?
when I did my training I saw a 2300cc triumph
Id never own a chopper, but a properly set up cruiser will outperform every expectation. Anyone who says you cant ride a cruiser in the twisties is very wrong.
Nig
Choppers, with proper extended forks and laid back rake, are way preferable to a plain Harley. The chopper is ridiculously impractical and somewhat uncomfortable to ride and ridiculously cool, while the Harley is . . . just an armchair bike.
Chinese scooter more reliable then a Harley 🙂
